Lol, sounds it - would have Miller down as the most exciting young English FB around (May is a centre for me) - his stats this season have been incredible. He makes so many runs from deep. Glad he got his call up - well deserved.

Saxons for Scotland game.

Lowe isn't availible at the moment, will have another look in the summer.

Miller is unbelievable as a 15 this year. Had he been at Leicester/Sarries or Saints playing this well he'd be in with a shot at EPS. Lacks out and out pace but makes up for it with vision.

I am unsure with Lowe. I love him and think he is the bee knees but I don't see how he progresses to an International with the likes of Joseph, Manu, Trinder, Daly, May etc all capable at 13. Depends how I'm looking at 13 in the summer. Would need a similar player back but in a different position if I were to deal.

After watching Attwood yesterday I have decided I will keep him and get rid of Bradley Davies instead - just looking to get more of a balance between southern and northern hem players.

Not keen on losing Mullan, could only really do it in a deal that involved PDJ. Goode I am mulling over letting go. Could be interested in Jared Payne.

I know what you mean about being lobsided with props, I have 3 English looseheads and only 1 English tighthead who would really only be my 5th choice there.

Let me mull over Goode. Really not sure whether to let him go or not. He's a good player and I think when I play him people rate him as steady but not providing an attacking threat,, so not sure whether to stick with that as I never really get marked down for him, or take a bit of a punt on someone who might give me more attacking threat but could be a gamble.

Sorry mate but Slade looks set for a big future and is highly thought of on this game. Hodgson is a talent but hasn't kicked on the way i thought he would of and with Jimbob signing a new contract he'll struggle for games.

Not interested in either Mitchell or Schofield.

Woud do Burgess for Brussow

Have decided that I am going to keep Goode for now mate. I know you asked previously about James Short, are you still interested in him, as I would do him as a straight swap for Steven Kitshoff in your academy.

What for Kelly Brown?

Struggling to see anything mate. When did you get Kitshoff? He was on my list of targets for the summer, never realised you had him until I was looking through your squad for potential delas for Goode.

Has definitely looked decent for the Stormers this season so far. South Africa got some good young props coming through.

You sure there is nothing we can do for him?

I'll stick with Mullan mate.

Anything for Maestri?

what do you reckon to burgess for brussow mate

I'll pass on that one mate, not looking at options that I will potentially lose in international windows unless they are Top International/World class.

How come mate? Thought you might fancy that

lol

Fair one, and on the other game I would probably take it, just different priorities on here as I have a lot stronger squad than there.

You found anyone to take Saracens on over there yet?

Are you looking for a manager in the other game ^

I'll take it on mate, I'll give it my all, you know me

any chance of loaning one of your looseheads mate?

yeh that be good please mate.

just for a few weeks if possible?

Yeah, saw that about Ranger mate, but gutted really as was going to play him at 13 next week. Have to rethink my team selection now.

My aim is to reduce the average age in my squad without losing out on quality, so make an offer based on that?

That's te idea, but couldn't lose Cecus without a top replacement.

seems like a fair deal - let me have a think about it, as really need to sit down and work out what is going on with my squad for next season, as trying to work out my foreign bids etc.

will get back to you asap - Rees' retirement has ballsed up my plans big time for next season, spoke to someone at the club 2 weeks ago and they said he was coming along nicely and could play again this season. Gutted.

Not keen to lose Bendy, Paice or Bekker at the moment mate but would listen to good offers for Cruden

A bit out there but anything doing for Brussow?

Good news for me if Nallet has retired from international rugby. Think he's got another couple of years in him in the Top 14.

See we've been linked with John Hart on the forums , not the most inspiring signings but need plenty of hard workers to get back up to the AP and he fits that bill


Also in the weeks leading up to the new kit being release think of Gosforth's green and white hoops

I'd also add these to your Academy

TH Scott Wilson
FB Zach Kibirige

maestri??

I'm not a big enough fan of Mitchell and dont overly rate the SA lock if I'm honest. Will be looking to get rid of either Davies or Attwood, but just need to sort out who I want for my team, as next season having Lawes, Davies, Attwood all available during the Rugby Championship could be good for me.

Waller??? When did you get best??? In cracking form. Best hooker in nh currently

Just seen your interest in Lambie mate. Not really looking to sell him, was just using him as a posssible tempter for Cruden. Would be looking at Brussow from you to get Lambie invovled in a deal.

Give me a suggestion for a bigger deal getting Brussow and Lambie invovled then mate.

Not a chance mate. That was a short lived negotiation even for us

Nothing else you see?

Not letting Monye go mate.
