If you want a big signing you're out of luck. I don't think we've got the available cap for that. Especially if the rumours are true and we're after another prop, props aren't cheap.

Vermeulen off to Japan, kind of as expected despite interest/hope elsewhere.

Has Jerome Kaino, retired now from rugby or just left the Blues? He is someone I really rate.

Apparently Marcus Smith has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the club due to a change of coach.

Could be a nice back up player to Ford.

Why would Smith come here as back up when he's first choice at Quins? 🤔

Well considering Owen Williams is on around 400K at Gloucester I suspect he could get quite a bit more elsewhere.

True,but it's the highest domestic contract for a teenager ever I believe,and it rises season by season. Would another club be prepared to better this?

Yes they would because he has already proven himself in a season of senior premiership rugby.
Not many other teenagers have done that and he is in a very desirable position.
