Quote ="Itchy Arsenal"I think others to exit without any insider knowledge but purely based on estimated financial needs will be
Jake Shorrocks - I believe that he is out of contract. Not good enough.
Joe Greenwood - wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Leeds. No place in the 17 for me
George Burgess - assuming the new investor will help to pay him off
Amir Borough - just don't see where he fits in for 2021
Personally can't see anyone else coming into the squad which will leave us exposed in the three quarters and a very small pack.
Hastings and French will have negotiated huge contract increases which together with reduced Sky payments I think will severely reduce our potential to obtain anymore new bodies.
Think wherever possible we will play with 3 props on the bench and "make do" with the three quarters'"
Surely if these people are on the cap now and leave there will be the funds from their salaries to go out and get new blood. I know some of the younger players will get improved contracts, but there will be money to spend. How much, no idea, but a 3/4 and a prop.
I'm sure someone better than me can list who's in and who's gone or potentially going. From that I bet there is cap space. If we lose Burgess at prop as marquee we get 150k back for a start.
