The '1st team squad' page on the website is password protected! I wonder what the rationale is behind that?


My guess would be that this indicates work's in progress...


I am guessing the club are using that well used marketing chestnut of leaking a little at a time to keep the interest flowing. They have announced who has re-signed, who has left, and new signings for the front row. I am guessing it will be followed very shortly by new signings for the second row, back row, and finally the three-quarters. Hence the temporary restriction to the first team squad web page. But I am only guessing.

I would imagine it's a tactical decision by the DoR, with what budget is available. Quite a young squad generally means less injuries. 

If you sign players in August as oppoosed to June that's 2 months salary you are saving...

I'd imagine they'll sign 4-5 before season starts then

Sounds a good signing 125KG & plays both tight & loose head - although probably not at the same time.
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

Morgan Strong looks like a handy signing - according to WalesOnline he turned down a new contract offer at the Ospreys. Seems to be held in high regard by Ospreys fans too (judging by Twitter, at least).

Off to Hartpury on Saturday for a pre-season fixture with Ospreys as per last year. It's been strangely quiet on Pury news this summer. With a number of players moving on at the end of last season, many to Championship sides I know of only 2 joining, a prop from Pirates & an U18 Winger from the USA. Absolutely nothing so far on the club website other than the fixtures for the new season. We always have a high turn over of players, that's normal for Hartpury but i don't quite know what to expect this season.

Hartpury very sadly lost their press & PR man Andrew Beacham earlier in the summer, he died towards end of June. He was a lovely man and really good company, as well as being good at his job. I imagine this is a large factor in the lack of info...
