Ealing fullback David Johnston is retiring after joining the club in 2018. Unfortunately, a serious injury ended his season in December, and following further medical advice, he'll be ending his playing career. He'll be joining the coaching staff at Ealing however, so he should still be around. DJ was a major player in Ealing's success over the past few seasons, and his leadership on the pitch was clearly missed in the second half of the season, contributing to some of the mid-season wobbles that Ealing experienced after a flying start.

Pirates centre Shae Tucker is moving to London to pursue his accounting career and is joining Blackheath. In Nat1 he will be seriously impressive.

Jersey Reds a bit behind on personnel announcements, but starting today. End-of-season departures now confirmed - there are 10 moving on, which is about a quarter of the squad, the lowest %age in recent years.

Cambridge has an SGM next week, I suspect the club will be making some squad announcements then.

I understand that the players involved already know.

John Kelly is the only destination we know about, as reported Falcons bagged him.
Rumour as it that one forward is going to the smoke and another forward over the water

I was also thinking are they signing up Wasps supporters as there is an opportunity there to turn their 2,500 crowds starting with a 3 or 4.

From what I have seen, there seems to have been very little conversion from Wasps (or Worcester), which given the exciting rugby on display, is very surprising. 

I do appreciate people have their own teams for reasons, of course.

Apparently ST sales are well up on this time last year, but doubt there are many Wasps fans among them as most of those appear to have been travelling from where they belong, or from Brum.
I would imagine many are lapsed Cov regulars and occasionals of which there are probably thousands.
I'm a lapsed ST holder btw having not had one last season for the first time in I don't know how long. There was little point as I was out of the country for about 70 percent of the season.
Not sure if I'll be in it for much of next season either which is a shame as for the first time in years I'm thinking Cov might do quite well Confused
Now back to signings, as the thread should be! Wink
