I understand they may have offered substantially more than Cambridge was paying.
So two peanuts and a raisin.

I admit I was surprised that Sylvester left, he was one of the players I was expecting Craig to want to hang on to.

I have heard rumours as to who Craig is looking at, but we wait for announcements.

Ealing sign Patrick Campbell, wing/fullback from Munster. Young guy, 22, not eyepopping physical characteristics.

Great to have Tui Uru back. He’s Cam King’s replacement (who replacement Tui when he left). Sylvester was very much Frost’s replacement. Not sure how we’ll fit Tuilagi and Uru in next year (Tuilagi should still be first choice imo), but a nice problem to have.

Still need a THP, 10, 7, 2nd row and centre to have a match day squad. I know who the centre is and have an educated guess about the 10.

Simple one plays 6 and the other 8, both play there. Also means we can also have an impact sub so they could play 50/30mins.

I heard we have signed 22/23 players and I would hope we will probably add to it, as we normally have trialists. With a late season start there will be plenty of time to make the right signings.

Whilst Bedford had a bumper season last year and are a shining example of what a professionally run semi-pro side can achieve at tier 2, they are some distance behind Ealing and (I suspect) Worcester Warriors when it comes to next season with regards to consistency across the board week in week out. It'll be Trailfinders and Warriors battling it out at the top comes seasons end next year.

Can't argue with your logic there on all points made.
