London Irish 2015/16

1m for Tom Collins

No bother, we'll do something eventually

He'd cost 3m as a non international from releases, you'll get 1m for releasing him, I'll split the difference and go £2m?

Barnes £3m

I was going to use the same logic as Bam, but was also weighing up Barnes.

I'd be interested in Barnes, £3 plus Twomey who you mentioned you were interested in before?

Not with his head injuries mate, not worth the gamble until he gets back playing out of Japan.

Can't lose Lee mate. For me one of the best 8's around at the moment.

Think I'll pass mate, was looking for a bargain. Not to swap out my some of my best guys for squad players.

Pretty keen on alb and if I let him go it would need to be for academy or eq.

I am a huge fan of Kolisi and k think I'd be selling low so no thanks

What for Jesse Kriel?

Looking to keep sisi in squad somehow, unless you had anyone else you could offer, eq for eq

Is stefffon still available mate? Also interested in T youngs as well

You still interested in tuloh ? What would you offer mate ?

Would you have any eq/academy you would offer instead? Bit stuck with who to release if I took Paul James!

We might struggle as the players I'm interested in are established and not at the same level

Flip +?

=

Vahaamina + Coetzee

It's more players like BdP, Slade, Armitage, Yarde, TMT, Watson.

Zero chance, sorry

It's tough with academy players

Flip is going to be a starter for me, so I'd need one back and thought you had some depth at back row for Coetzee.

Might struggle otherwise as the others I'd look at are all starters or EQ and not sure how keen you'd be

Eg Smith, Cruden, Watson, Slade, Marler, Wilson

I'd need Thacker and Sio respectively with gains

Not keen on losing Nadolo unless it's for another game winner. Interested realistically (Obvs other players I'd like!) in Yarde, Slade, or your locks

Malherbe/tdt?

Ok will have a think on that. How about if we added in sisi for homer too?

Take out the Bennett part and swap for Owen Williams for ?

Didn't think you wanted to lose Nonu?

In a way tempted, just Maa's age putting me off slightly

Prefer my duo mate,sorry.

Fair enough mate, let me dwell and have a think on it!

Yeah sorry fella, could still do sisi?

What for
Malherbe?

I agree Pete tough to get a deal done. You and I usually done a few I offer him for him and deal so sure it can happen. What positions interest you?

Any backrow interest you as you look maybe light there? Juan smith etc

Really fair offer and would deal but Stooke been poor all year as has bird so leaves me Gray etzbeth and robson.


just signed Lavanini who is tremendous but unrated. Also weirdly Taofufina not in wc squad.

Could we add another player and include vahaminia? Not a fan of his but would help
Me balance wise ?

Anything for:

Kaino, B Youngs, Yarde, Watson

Looking for academy for him

One day lol

Scott Sio
Frans Malherbe
Alun-Wyn Jones
Rynhardt Elstadt
Robbie Freuan
Bryan Habana
Delon Armitage

Fleeting interest in these lads mate.

Malherbe available in a deal?

I like the offer but worried about two things, first that I lose two eq options for one and second I can't really accommodate taking on an extra lad at the moment. Sorry not trying to discourage an offer!

Paul James
Alun-Wyn Jones
Paul Jordaan
JJ Engelbrecht
Delon Armitage

Malherbe, AWJ, Habana, Delon

Bigger really?

Sio, Youngs, Youngs, TDT, Kriel interest me

I rate SBW a fair bit higher than Delon mate and little between the locks really (plus he's my main line out leader).

I probably don't need Delon if I'm honest, not sure why I put him

If I lose corbs I'd have to strengthen elsewhere. Devon would be back up. Awj involved?

Alberts and perenara for Aaron smith?

Corbs + Kahn + Kolbe + Bowden
for
James + B.Youngs + Watson + Jordaan

Losing 3 starters for 2 which I don't want to do really. Not a huge interest in losing De Allende and Kitchoff as well.
