2023-2024 transfers

Worcester announce Santiago Medrano, Argentinian prop.

Hopefully that puts to bed the Davison Rumours.
 
Saints leavers

Tuala (ace)
Piers Francis
Api
Naiyaravoro (big T)

Kind of expect led those 4 to go.
 
Wonder where Francis will go. He's 31 so still got a couple of good years in him yet. I never agreed with how many England caps he picked up, nor with him making the RWC squad, but he's a solid Prem level player and a reliable playmaking 10/12 is always a good addition to a squad.

I think you're doing him a bit of a disservice. He's a good player who didn't let himself down at test level. I think the bigger issue is that his injury proneness hasn't ever allowed him to really establish himself as a starter for Saints.

TBH, with his injury record - particularly with head injuries/concussion, I wouldn't be massively surprised to see him retire.

He always gets injured so probably on wasps radar.
 
Is that a choice to cut his contract short or just not renew? From what I read then it suggests his contract was up anyway. Just trying to get an idea of if there has been a development to prompt this or a decision needed to be made and it has nothing to do with the investigation.

I think it's choosing not to activate the final year of his contract
I don't think there's been any movement on the case yet
 
Saints sign backorder
Angus Scott Young .
Can't say I know a whole lot about him.
With Harrison gone ,and Woody probably retiring, I guess may see another backrow, and a 2nd row after yesterday's release of 4.

Doubt another second row Salakaia-Loto seems to be Api replacement
Hinckley I guess the other back rower.

Although mainly 6 in super rugby .
Coles may well be a move 4/5 as Lawes could be.
Still see a lack with only Ribbans, Moon , and Nansen and a bunch of Academy players we lack depth in this area.
 
Haydon-Wood has signed for Wasps.

Another promising Falcons academy player leaves before we see the best of them again.

Yeah thats big dissappointment.

I suspect one of the Tian Schoeman or Grayson rumours will be true then.

I hope Connon can just show some consistency as he does have the ability...just doesnt seem to have any confidence in himself to run the game. And then theres Louie Johnson.
