Saw the stories about him leaving for UK, didn't see any mention of which area, club or region though.

Puts us, Wuss, Tigers, Saints in the running. I’d be surprised if it was us.

Tigers seem to have unlimited cash at the moment  :)

Shields
Willis J
Willis T


Morris
Carr
Barbeary


Curran


I think that's our back row options for next season.
I don't know anything about this guy, but if he's a big, no-nonsense blind side, I'd certainly be interested.

One interesting fact is he's a lock/flanker... could mean he's a natural replacement for Fifita?

I’ve only ever seen him play lock, primarily as a big ‘lump’ in the 4 shirt.
He is very athletic for a heavy weight 4 and I imagine  he could do a job at 6 but he doesn’t have the same athleticism as Fifita.

Would know Carr from last year but don’t think he was at the Bulls when Mitch was.
Definitely good enough to be around the starting squad, great physicality but do we need him? Potentially blocks Alfie Bell coming through a little and gametime for the likes of Pichardie and Curran if he ever got moved to 6.
Did we ever work out whether Gaskell was under contract next year?

Apparently Worcester are after a lock forward and Dimes has been looking in SA.

Saints may also be looking for a replacement for Ratuniyarawa, unless I have missed a signing from them
