There's obviously a mistake.
We have a recruitment freeze

Interesting. With the back row stocked as it is, and four hookers on the books I wonder where he'll fit in.

But what we really need is a fullback.

Good to see this updated but there was very few announcements of u18 promotions this year, only a few announcements if I remember correctly for Asher Opoku being promoted as well as Turrisi and Feyi-Waboso and Craven signing.
And Nearchou was originally detailed as having extended his contract in the senior academy rather than being promoted to the senior squad like Hartley was.
Our press has definitely fallen away a bit recently and I hope this picks up again just for fusspots like me with this sort of stuff.

Regarding the academy list, a few have seemingly been let go who looked promising eg in Alex Pleasants, he’s played Scottish age groups so wonder if he’ll be up there soon.
Also more uni contracted players gone, the scheme just again does not seem to have worked out for anyone over the years (apart from Rowlands) with this year, off the top of my head, Pichardie, Jude Williams, Florenstein, Eckersley and Monye no longer listed.
