Somebody found the spanner?

LOL

Really hope Monty has developed hugely since his last stint. He was just out of uni being lightweight and was one of the weakest props we have had. His interview has said he has bulked up, which he certainly needed to and with a couple more years of experience hopefully we’ll see a different player.

Feels like a big step up from 5th tier French rugby to Champ. Hopefully one of the 7s we’ve taken a punt on is able to fill the big hole left by Joe Howard.

Like the other blues supporter, surprised to see Monty Royston back. Hopefully he’s developed over the last couple of years. I thought we would see Beltus Nonleh here permanently but appears he’s gone back to Sedgley Park.

I expect Bedford to sign a centre then would’ve thought that would be us done.

We have now replaced the 10 we have lost so I wonder if we will get another centre as Worth played there for Tigers as well as Full Back.  It will be interesting to see which Saints youngsters are announced.

15 retained, 3 returning players, 6 new signings, 1 ex DR

Props - Jack, Conway, Heffernan, Royston (Bond Uni Bullsharks)
Hookers - Fish, Herman
2nd row - Ward, Woolford, Evans (RGC 1404)
Back row - Tuilagi, Uru (Chambery), Hoskings (Rosslyn Park), Slyvester (Cambridge), Finch (Limoges)

Scrum half - Day, Lennon
Fly half - Maisey, Price (Biella)
Centre - Le Bourgeois, Titherington
Wing - Adamson, Hutler (Coventry), Witheat (Saints)
Full Back - James, Worth (Valence Romans)

Leavers (10)
Frost (Richmond), Arthur (Oundle RFC), Howard (Australia), King (unknown), Kerry (Oundle RFC?) Matavesi (Bourg-en-Bresse), Elliott (retired?), Garside (Worcester), Tapley (retired?), Worley (Hong Kong)

Austin wallis, LS hooker, posted on the worcester socials though not announced. Would be a huge loss for us if so - top try scorer last year I believe

Do you know if we have any formal rules regarding the number of loans and or DRs allowed in a match day squad?

6 isnt it? But no limit on the number of different players allowed over a season

Saints recently need their under 18s intake. 8 lads in total.

3 centres, 2 locks, 1 FB, 1 SH and 1 Back row.

So if Bedford are light a centre then that might be with these lads in mind.

He arrived on an emergency loan in January for around a month from Rosslyn Park and as tighthead cover from memory.
