Tactics to come...

No worries bud, just stating the facts, I know you worked hard over the summer to improve your squad, and are now seeing some rewards which is good to see.

Should be an interesting game this week Arry, you've worked wonders with your squad - glad its not raining cats and dogs as your ground would be an even more daunting place to travel too!

Would you do anything for Faure?

Reckon you could get Thompson involved?

Would need something with Burger involved mate.

No probs fella

Joe gray not for sale. English and starts for me. Would need a player like Roberts or English equivalent like Tom Johnson who I don't actually want

Not looking to sell him really Arry, was just trying to tempt Steve into selling Wallace

Both for Downey and Clegg?

Can't see a deal for Cueto to be honest mate, and in fairness I don't think he is actually the type of winger that you need to kick your squad on that extra bit.

Arry...

Not interested in Will Chambers , i'm after a hard running 12.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news mate - seemed on the cards for a little while, thought it was bad when Wasps started reporting the injury the same way that they did with Worsleys.

Big blow for Wasps losing two really key leaders in the team. However, think its good news for Webber who is playing some excellent rugby and if he keeps it up will force himself into top 3 English hookers by 6Nations as surely England need to look at youth prospects instead of guys like Mears, Chuter etc!

arry would Kankowski and lamont interest you mate?

What for Brown Arry?

Would you do Dave Seymour for Rory Clegg?

Mafi in a deal for Crane?

No problem, but Im not letting go Taylor go on the cheap at all because he's (i) a captain/has leadership (ii) covers 3 positions and (iii) gives me great cover in the international windows.

Savea is also a potential world beater.

Phipps and Myler for Burguss?

Steven Myler + Nick Phipps + Ben Kayser

for

Rory Clegg + Mike Tindall + Damian Varley

get back to me mate
