Cov sign Ryan Hutler from Jersey.

Former Blues winger and is a very good player.

A regular starter for Bedford and played very little for Jersey (correct me if I'm wrong - did he get injured?)
Yes, he appeared to miss quite a lot of games while injured.
Faster than someone really quick when fit tho. Brilliant signing by Cov imo.
From memory, yes you're correct.
It'll be good to have a winger in the Max Trimble (speed-wise) mould again.

The Pirates leavers, a number of decent players there:

Four of those departing are forwards, namely backrowers Jarrard Hayler, Seb Nagle-Taylor and Bear Williams, and prop Hayden King.  As for the backs, fly-half Harry Bazalgette, scrum-half Tom Kessell, centres Rory Parata, Shae Tucker and Garyn Smith, full-back/wing AJ Cant, wing Robin Wedlake, and full-back Carwyn Penny are set to leave.

If correct that's quite a signing

There must be a Wasps XV in the leavers here and Premiership / Academies

They will need more than XV to compete in the Championship.  Will be surprised if it happens with all the shenanigans going on.

Yes I know, about 40

But if you look at leaving ex Wasps./Worcester, Premiership culls, Championship leavers on this thread plus imports the target is achievable. 

I don't think players are a problem, manager, pitch, management fit for purpose and ongoing ££ might be. 

Who gets the Worcester / Wasps PRL funding balance?

Putting my sensible head on, rare occasion, I would suggest that players, agents and other staff may be very wary of signing anything with Wasps until there are cast iron guarantees from RFU and other relevant parties as to where they will be based and, from the club, that they would get paid during the second half of next season.
As for any funding they may wish to attract/apply for, surely this should go to pay off some of their massive debt.  All they should be entitled to should be the pittance that RFU consider sufficient to run a Championship squad.
If they are in the Championship next season then it needs to be on a level playing field, no special treatment because they have a name.

I think Dalaglio shouting out loud everywhere that Wasps are too big a brand to be relegated should give you an idea of how he will be manoeuvring behind the scenes of the PRL/RFU. There will be rules stretched way beyond reason to accommodate their privileged stars, that is of course if he has time dodging being made bankrupt himself over his unpaid tax bill.

Exactly.  All they currently have is a brand.  Remember Woolworths? Big brand.  Gone.  Think they still exist in the States under Wallmart.  Now theirs a thought.....USA Wasps anyone?

Woolworths still exists in South Africa. Wasps would fit well with Bulls and Cheetahs!

If they are in the Championship next season it will be entirely due to them having special treatment.

I think that we should all keep in mind that Wasps has many, many passionate rugby fans, who have no fault in what their club's management did. That doesn't mean the club should get special treatment, but we should keep in mind that those fans have been through a rough time.
 

If they are in the Championship next season it will be entirely due to them having special treatment.

Totally agree Greg. Not the fans fault.  I would hate to be in their position.

I have sympathy for many of their fans although not for the deluded ones who are still blind to the behaviour of their past and present owners (just take a look at their online forum) but you can't give Championship places to a club just because their supporters have had a hard time.
