Unless any existing players are released I personally think we are done for 2017 but Brad is far more knowledgeable than I am a. A versatile back like Eastmond would be great BUT he will be damn expensive whomever he signs for.

having given debuts to 8 academy players this season , and presumably more youngsters to be given contracts (?), I cant see how the squad isn't too big.

That's pretty good business from Bath's point of view, then, as Eastmond looks well away from the England set-up these days.
So the RFU will in effect subsidise clubs who want to poach players from league? Charming.
Can you imagine the RFL doing likewise?

They did once for 2 players. Rads and KFC.
With the profit they now make they need to put a bit in to keep the best players in SL.

RFL profit isn't that high after Nigel's Lunch Allowances have been paid!
