Who might stay?

[Shugs]

I’m really just trying to take my mind off imminent departures but taking the huge leap of faith that we have the ability to start in the champ next season which names could we expect to see? Forwards wise I could see Harris, Nearchou, Cruse, Millar-Mills, Dodson, Vukasinovic, Morris, Curran and Brown. Backs wise Wolstenholme, Craven, Hartley, Mills, Dawkins, Bacon. Maybe at a stretch Haydon-Wood and Crossdale?

Fin Brown to EAs it appears

[SilverShire]

Given some of the posts released by some of the players like Dobby and Charlie I hope they would stick with us is championship rugby was to happen.

Atkinson seems nailed on for Tigers. Neils - hadn’t seen that re Brown but did see Fisilau rumoured to be going there.

I think when you look at the squad, it really depends on whose likely to secure a role elsewhere and who isn't.

Out (Confirmed): Bassett, Alo

Probably Out: Oghre, Hislop, Koch, Martinez, Launchbury, McDonald, Barbeary, Carr, Shields, J Willis, T Willis, Atkinson, Odendaal, Hougaard, Minozzi, Crossdale, Odogwu, Stooke,

Maybe Out: Kibirige, WHW, Umaga, Robson, Porter, West, Ryan, Frost, Fisilau, Feyi-Waboso, Brown

Might Stay: Cruse, Harris, Millar-Mills, Cardall, Dodson, Vukasinovic, Curran, Morris, Wolstenholme, Hartley, Mills, Simmonds, Spink, McArthur, Pleasants, Hardwick, Bell, Cripps, Ma'asi White, Williams, Bacon, Dawkins, Monye, Eckersley, Kucera.

If we can hold onto most of the might stay group and maybe hold the likes of Frost, Cardall, Porter, Fislau, Brown maybe Umaga/WHW i'd be fairly content plus maybe add one or two warhorses from the prem i'd feel like we will be ok. Still need investment though

Out and confirmed, but Josh is season-long injury cover (at the moment).  From what Lee and Vaughan has said, there's plenty of players that would like season-long loans but would like the option to come back to Wasps if we're salvageable and can pay wages.

[Peej]

Players probably can't be offered deals beyond end-of-season loans due to cap space, but if anyone is offered a longer term deal they are going to take it.

Maybe they would look to come back in a couple of years, but it doesn't look like there'll be anything to come back to.

I'd imagine all of those fortunate enough to find a new club (and I fear there will be many who don't, whether or not they want to remain with what's left of Wasps) will be taking big pay cuts compared to what they were on at Wasps.  Players and agents know clubs are limited in what they can offer within the cap, and clubs know that currently these players are earning the square root of diddly squat, so anything is better than nothing.  It leaves the players in a very week bargaining position, so for that reason alone I'm sure most will be looking to get something in place for the current season to maintain fitness and an income of sorts before clubs start building for the following season.  If Wasps are to survive in some form, then they might be able to tempt some of them back.  However, I don't really see there being anything there for them to come back to.
