They'll be all change in the Richmond Front Row - with a further player being confirmed to have moved to full-time rugby.

Alun Walker (hooker), Max Northcote-Green (flanker), Jordan Burns (scrum half) and Luke Daniels (full back) Simon Linsell (2nd row), George Davis (prop), Barney Maddison (2nd row), Simon Uzokwe (flanker) and Angus Kernohan (wing) all re-sign for Ealing, while David O'Connor, Munster second row signs for Ealing, having been on loan for the cup.
That's most of the heart of the squad re-signed for next year. A good mixture of old and new talent shaping up. I'd be surprised if there wasn't one or two experienced premiership players snaffled up as salary cap casualties yet.

Great retention from Cov with Jordan Poole was great at DMP I think he will end up as a premiership player certainly has all the attributes

How has Simon Uzokwe performed this season he was earmarked for great things at Falcons but seems Jamie Blamire and other took the rains? He was suggested to develop as a winger once upon a time

Uzokwe was in the Championship dream team, garnering over half the votes. He regularly looks the best player on the pitch.

An incredibly quality player. This is the kind of signing that I expected to see more of to be honest, as high level talent just couldn't be retained under the new salary cap.

But of course Bedford is a semi-pro club.

Ah this old chestnut. Of course, we are also secretly training during the week and just pretending we only train Monday, Tuesday and Thursday eves. All of the day jobs the players have are merely fronts. Even Rich Lane had a proper job before Bristol signed him.

May be true, but he was on 45k a year at Bedford. There was a stage when Bedford did train during the day however i think this was pre-covid.

It helps when you have a crowd average of 2,658… say 1,500 above the average at say £18 p.p by 11 league game = £297,000. Plus we have lost Lane and Atkinson who wouldn’t have been cheap.

Semi-pro vs pro has nothing to do with what you pay players. At least not in my view. It’s whether your team consists of full time professionals who’s sole income is from Rugby, or whether it consists of part time players who supplement their rugby income with other jobs. At no point since the Frank Warren era have Bedford ever been a full time club or trained as a team during the days in the week. I’m amazed how often I’ve clarified this over the years. There have been players who have chosen to focus solely on rugby and do individual gym/analysis sessions etc in the day, but at no point during the Championship era have we ever trained more than 3 nights a week as team. I’m also not clear how you are privy to Rich Lane’s salary given this would be confidential information not in the public domain (I’ve certainly got no idea if that figure is correct or not). Anyway way off topic now so will try and end this so people can get back to signings. Edit: I have googled the definition of semi pro and it basically fits what I described above: “receiving payment for an activity but not relying entirely on it for a living; semi-professional” Edited by Bluesman11 - 06 Jun 2022 at 23:22 |

Player retires from professional rugby and returns to former club in a player-coach capacity. Nothing to see here.
