Stewart's a solid hooker who would probably be a slight step up on TCD as a squad player from what I've seen as both. Not that I think TCD has done badly, but living in Scotland now I've seen Stewart play a few times and seen a bit more from him.
Realistically we do need that 5th senior hooker in case Montoya and Dolly get called up, whilst Vanes hopefully keeps getting Championship game time with Notts.
Hooker and prop depth are areas where I'm quite happy for the club to consider loan signings, such as TCD, as and when necessary though. They're positions where squad level cover can often be found in the Championship and stronger cover than that can often be found in emergencies as required. We got Genge, de Bruin and Aguero as short term prop cover for instance.

Van Rensburg has left the Sharks (Sale) to join the Sharks. Didn’t really work out at Sale but a top player at his best

Just noticed Aaron Hinkley is on trial at Saints, hasn’t worked out for him at Exeter, but he’s some player if he can rediscover his Gloucester and England U20 form.

Hinckley looked just as talented as the Curry's at age grade. Such a shame how injury has stalled his career. I really hope he can stay fit and fulfil that potential.FrontRowUnionMember wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 5:15 pm Just noticed Aaron Hinkley is on trial at Saints, hasn’t worked out for him at Exeter, but he’s some player if he can rediscover his Gloucester and England U20 form.
With players that talented sometimes staying on the field, being fit to train, play and progress is all they need to do.
I'd put Ilione in a similar bracket of 'that talented' there. Hopefully he can stay fit and reach the heights he looks capable of.

Matt Garvey retires.
Always rated this guy , perhaps a little unfortunate not to achieve greater recognition :

Hinckley looked good off the bench for Saints the other week. It might well be as you say that given regular game time he'll start to flourish and reach his potential.ABClub wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 5:23 pmHinckley looked just as talented as the Curry's at age grade.

Ilione does seem to pick up injuries, could just be his all action style of play. If he can stay fit for a decent period hopefully he'll develop physically enough to help mitigate that. Agree he looks a special talent.

Sam Grahamslaw is a name I haven't read in a while! Might have made a good Premiership player, if not for a move to Scotland.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 11:11 am https://www.edinburghrugby.org/the-club ... 22-leavers

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
Moyano would be a good player to sign
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
Grahamslaw could still make a good Prem LH in my opinion. Given when he converted and being tall for a LH it will take time. A good signing there for a Championship club.
Moyano would be a strong upgrade on Hegarty as Steward's back up or as a wing option ahead of Ashton. Ashton has been good but was very out of place defensively at times against Leinster. In those big games a back three player such as Moyano would be an important improvement.
