Well here it is, at last. Most of this has been disscussed since i found it. But it will be handy in future seasons. Hopefully i will get some more information over the next couple of weeks and depending on the scale will post as a story or on the message board.

Confirmed signing: Gareth Thomas, Paul Tito

Some of the rumours I've heard are from exceptionally reliable sources, as well suggest we were looking for another lock, where it appears we don't have enough depth. 3 out injured and our 4th lock playing with injuries earlier this season. Other rumours have appeared next to players names. Give me a shout if anything appears wrong to you.
