Champ 2025/26 signings and retentions

It is a lot.

However, I feel the only real losses will be Kvesic (it was inevitable he'd go), Hinkley, Nkwocha, and Nairau. 

Oh, and Robson - but that was almost a given as we lose a Very Good Fullback or two every season.

Not as bad a list as had been led to believe. Back rowers will certainly be at the top of our shopping list this year given we’ve lost all of them apart from Tuilagi. Also need a right winger having lost both of ours.

Luke Frost is the biggest loss for me. Says he’s moving to London for work reasons. If he ends up back at Scottish or Richmond, they’ve got themselves a hell of player.

Worley off to Hong Kong in lead up to World Cup. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back in a couple of years. Matavesi previously confirmed to France with his brother. It’s not a well kept secret that Garside, along with brother Jake, is joining Worcester. 

Most of the others have had long term injuries and are possibly retiring? Shame about Cam King, who was brilliant last year. Not heard anything about where Joe Howard is going, he’s the most likely to end up at a prem team out of those. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going back to Gloucester, unless he’s another Worcester recruit.
