I'd guess that means the end of Benjamin then, with Thompstone signing a new deal. Potentially Goneva too I'd guess.

Really good business today!

Gonna be a great team next season on top of the great team we already have.

Looking through our squad I am failing to see a position where even our back up player wouldn't get in to the starting lineup for about any other Premiership team. Crazy good squad we are building!!

What a set of Backs to go with our forwards.

Just a hooker and a prop short of the most complete squad in a while.

Goneva, Benjamin and Camacho all going to be at risk now then.

Next year's confirmed winger options
Pietersen, Betham, Veianu, Thompstone and Morris. Odogwu on the fringes as the development option.

Matt Smith will have something to say about this.

JPP is a brilliant, brilliant signing. Our backs are going to be incredible next season: Youngs, Williams, JPP, Toomua, Tuilagi, Bentham, Veianu and Tait, Burns, Thompstone, Goneva (probably leaving), maybe JDV and Harrison as back up. Amazing.

AND Smith and Morris... (apologies to both for my earlier message - Smith has been awesome this season)

Presumably Benjamin and Camacho are off.

There's also Camacho, Loamanu, and the unlucky Morris..

JPP is a quality signing.

Not many sides would not be thinking about Matt Tait as a starting player!
