Addison replacing the big swiss army knife Sam James in the Sale backline then.
What happened with Ewers? Just lost his mojo?
Pretty much.
A man past his sell by date.
Been a huge disappointment.

It isn't a surprise to see Cuthbert move on, bloody hope he doesn't end up at Dragons. Retirement maybe? Ospreys need some signings in that back 3, they were terrible there on the weekend. Watkin is a bloody awful player too.

Makes sense for Burrows. He's only had limited PRC game time. Given the number of hookers at Chiefs he was unlikely to get much chance in the Prem or Europe. Especially as none are internationals, at the Dragons with Dee and Roberts possible Wales selections there's a more likely route to game time.

Billy has been linked with Montpellier for a while I believe.
I haven't heard anything on Mako other than him leaving Sarries though. Top 14 clubs LOVE replacement props who carry though. I wouldn't be surprised if a club signs him, tries to use him in a similar role to Sipili Falatea.

We’ve got more hookers than Amsterdam now!
Not sure what the plans are, but at the moment:
Senior plyers:
Elliot Dee
Bradley Roberts
James Benjamin (a converted back rower)
And then players who’ve come through the academy recently:
Brodie Coghlan
Sam Scarfe
Scarfe has been tearing it up in the Welsh Prem for Pontypool and seems/seemed to have a big future but I’ve just read that he’s been sent on loan to Gloucester. Not sure why we haven’t kept him and have instead brought in Burrows from Exeter?
![Headscratch](/users/3014/26/22/82/smiles/3187153522.gif)
James Benjamin I would be happy to see let go as the conversion to hooker hasn’t been very effective. But he’s not on the list of departures thus far.

Your first team and academy hookers combined is still less than the number of hookers in the Chiefs senior squad.

So assuming Scarfe is just getting game time, and with Burrows brought in..... that's 6 hookers! We're cutting squads and reducing budgets so that seems excessive to me. So someone above must be off. Hope it's not Dee.

Just had a look and there are nearly 80 players listed in the Exeter squad. Is that academy too or something?! Ridiculous numbers!

Lamositele to Quins as a replacement for Collier confirmed. Decent player and it'll be interesting to see what Bomb can do with him.

They have a combined senior academy/development and first team squad. Tends to be a very large squad. Some of those guys will be on loan in the Championship or on part term deals whilst at Uni.

Will be a lot smaller next season for Exeter - they and a number of prem sides have identified they dont need as bigger squads now the fixture list has been reduced.
Richardson is leaving Exeter and joining Glasgow....another prop off the books.

Agreed. One of the kids in the academy is a friend of my son's - he's 1st year at uni, mostly playing BUCS but got 10 minutes for the Chiefs proper in a friendly during the 6N.

Chiefs have a lot of development players like Richardson. Mostly as I've said out on loan playing elsewhere or on part time deals whilst at Uni. Allows them to monitor the progress of a lot of players fairly cheaply, not lack squad cover and then promote/release as required. If there are squad limits imposed on the league that won't help them though.
Fin Richardson played under 20s for Scotland but has mainly been on loan at Cornish Pirates in the Championship making one PRC appearance for Chiefs. A gamble that didn't pay off and now he goes north to try his luck at Glasgow.

Re: Silly Season Transfer Rumours 23/24
Apparently Fissler has reported that Stuart Hogg has been at KP this week...and sent all the falcons in to a tither....
No thanks...world class player in his day but we have Redhaaw there now who is unreal for 18 and use rhe funds more wisely elsewhere....
Maybe he was giving some attack coaching....

Hard to imagine Hoggy has any future in professional rugby after a year out at his age.
Also hard to imagine any club would want to touch him with the current clouds hanging over him.
Take that one with a shovel load of salt!

Even with Hoggy's stature as a player, I'd genuinely be surprised if Hawick considered giving him a runout out for s**ts and giggles. The stories floating around about his antics in those parts are startling even compared to what's hit the papers!

Diamond came right out after the game and said the Hogg rumor was nonsense.
That makes sense to everyone and you kind of imagine that Hoggy was never really a SD type of player in any case!

Steve Diamond liked the occasional maverick if he thought he could get good value for money out of them. He pretty much relaunched Danny Cipriani's career when he joined Sale for instance.

SD's confirmed absolutely nothing in the Hogg rumours.
We dont need him anyway....we have Ben Redshaw....well until Saracens or Bath decide to take him off our hands....

Another player leaves falcons for Doncaster this time. Nit a main squad player really but jeez we are down to the bare bones in many positions now. They're clearing out all the substandard players they can who aren't in contract.
We have only 1 or 2 planned signings to announce so either we're gonna hope we don't get injuries which is laughable or there's some money coming in at some pont to allow us to bring some prem standard players in....

Unfortunately Newcastle really needed big rebuild so hopefully you guys can get some quality or at least half good players in so that you can have a much better season where they actually win some games

Max Douglas from Yokohama Canon Eagles to Scarlets, rumoured a while back but now confirmed. He also has super rugby experience with the Waratahs. Another fantastic signing to help their rebuild. I doubt Jack Dunne is going there (I heard that was a done deal previously) as they still have Lousi and Craig. Anyone know where else Dunne might be off?

Glasgow leavers announced as well. All of them havent said where they are going yet but Turner was linked with Japan. Manjezi was touted with a move back to SA.
Turner, Gordon, Sordoni, Manjezi and the other Argy prop who already went to Super Rugby mid season on loan.
Would love to see Sordoni at the Dragons. Exactly the sort of Tighthead we need.

Re: Silly Season Transfer Rumours 23/24
Liam Williams coming back to Wales; Cardiff, Ospreys and Dragons all interested apparently. Not Scarlets as they're bringing in Elliott Mee from Nottingham.
Lydiate maybe staying with Dragons on a player-coach sort of role. Dai is keen to keep Lydiate, which I don't think is a good idea.
Tomos Williams, Rhys Carre, Shane Lewis-Hughes, Owen Lane, Arwel Robson are leaving Cardiff Rugby for new clubs. Lopeti Timani, Aled Summerhill, Gonzalo Bertranou, Matthew Aubrey, Max Clark are also heading for the exit, while Ellis Jenkins, Josh Turnbull and Ciaran Parker are retiring.

Black Rams in Japan have officially confimed Peter Hewat is leaving. That means he's clear to head to Leicester, as those earlier reports outlined.

Utility back. Wing/13/15. Tall and pacey, from Yorkshire originally came through at Carnegie and then Sale brought him across. Left Sale for Ealing. The kind of gamble that makes sense for Falcons.

Benetton release list of leavers:-
Zani, Lucchesi, Lazzaroni, Stowers, Pettinelli, Duvenage, Hidalgo-Clyne, Riera, Watson, Padovani
Guessing some of those must have Top14 deals to be annouced. Lucchesi has been really good for them last 2 seasons so some big money offer must have come in.

Yeah absolutely...the backline looks a little more powerful and direct...with flexibility to move players around aswell. Quality will be the tell tale...but if we can be better drilled defensively and attacking wise...we'll at least be a bit more difficult to beat.

12 Doherty / Hutchison
13 Penny / Metcalf / Hearle

Not sure why he never kicked on and wonder where he's going now. He had great hair too so likely endorsements from Pantene to follow, if nothing else.

Well Mark has just said its not the last of the signings on the unoffy, so i guess we shall see. But we could do with a juggernaut of a lock really...
I know they havent announced Beauden Barrett yet, just a matter of time...

Guessing some of those must have Top14 deals to be annouced. Lucchesi has been really good for them last 2 seasons so some big money offer must have come in.
Not sure why he never kicked on and wonder where he's going now. He had great hair too so likely endorsements from Pantene to follow, if nothing else.
I imagine SHC will be looking to the world beyond rugby now.
He has had a varied and interesting career but surely he will feel that he has not fulfilled his potential

Henry Thomas rumour to Scarlets is a done deal so I've heard. I think that makes him available for the SA game which is outside the international window. The squad will be announced shortly but I doubt many are interested, including Wales fans.
