Isn’t that Italy U20 flanker on the way - maybe SB will try use him and Ilione as a 3rd/4th choice choice 7 behind Reffell and Cracknell?

Hanro can also play there too and with Martin, Henderson, Chessum all able to play 6 there should be options.

The reduction in salary cap will have a big effect I think - maybe this is the pinch point squad wise?

Hope not, hopefully we have some cap spare and have lined up some clever moneyball pick ups who are on the way but I’ve got my doubts

Wish I could see into the future as wouldn’t be surprised to see some stellar signings in the next couple of seasons.

I certainly think that some very good young prospects could be targets coming up especially in the Wing spots.
Nadolo
Saumaki
Ashton
Murimurivalu
Watson

Got to wonder how many will be here after next season.

I believe are out of contract.

Am I wrong or does Sleighthome look a bit like Thompstone ? ( in how he plays, not in actual looks ).
And as such he would be of interest.

Not sure Sleighthome will move to Tigers with his family connection to the Saints

It is feasible that the 5 Tigers players you listed could all be on their way the season after next so we will defo need a few signings with no top quality wingers in the academy.

You would have to imagine if Wasps do go bust some provision must be made by the league to raise the salary cap to allow those players to be signed.

Perhaps Wasps allocated cap shared among the other 12?

If the other clubs could find the money.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

I'm feeling generous we should help Wasps out by taking Jack Willis' wages off their books

That would be a very good idea.
