Direct replacement for Nathan Hughes, I imagine.
To be fair Wasps have made some good signings for next season. Will still have a really good team. Wouldn’t have minded him at Tigers when he originally signed for Sarries. Strong carrier but didn’t get much gametime for them.

Have to question why we didn’t take a punt on him for next season. With Denton our with injury and liable to international call ups, could have been a good addition.

Crazy how Wasps are apparently falling apart but still making signings.

Funny how Mr Fissler spreads a rumour about Veainu joining Wasps and the next minute Vailanu signs. Wonder if he struggles with his Tongans?

Every club makes signings though.

I can't believe anyone takes any notice of others who spread rumours rather than getting a proper job!

Au contraire, you highlight just how far fetched these rumours can be for attention!
I suspect the struggle isn't separating Tongans but more the ability to do a proper days work!

I have to say that Wasps, among others, have made what appear to be well thought out signings. Let's hope we are on that list too. :smt045

What player with a long term injury?
Based on many of the comments on here, isn't every player that we sign long term injured, a journeyman or both :smt002 :smt003
Cagey you forgot to add a downgrade on what we have already :smt003

Bath being linked to Anscombe for 500,000.
Also welsh clubs sounding like they are in a right mess money wise.

If true that could have interesting implications for recruitment, but also thinking longer term, for retention as would surely help hang onto Holmes (and Reffell)...?

Costelow would be the one who I’m most worried about.

Seriously talented, in a way IMO that is very hard to find.
