As the new season draws ever closer Dragons' Den brings you a round-up of the signings, re-signings and loan players for 2010/11. Off the pitch changes have also been made with Phil Greening stepping up to take over as Head Coach after Danny Wilson's sudden departure to Dragons. But with 16 players retained, five new signings and one all-but confirmed, more announcements must be on the way.

What's the news on the most important constituent of last season, Chris Walton?
John Mills has been appointed captain according to official site so one must assume he has resigned
In addition to the new players officially announced I think there could well be some more not yet officially announced.

Welcome all three of you!

Max Lahiff (prop) joins on season long loan from London Irish. He was at Rosslyn Park last season.

Max played in our play-off match away to Nottingham towards the end of last season and did well.
After the game I tried to find out who he was but the other players didn't know his name or where he came from. Hopefully a full season with us will give them time to learn who he is!
Looks like Gav is going to be dancing in lycra rather than playing.

Saul Nelson, from the Chiefs (Exeter not Waikato).
It's on the official site.
We've got ourselves another hooker.

"Saul scored the only Exeter try last season when London Welsh beat the Chiefs 12-10 in the thrilling encounter at Old Deer Park in January"
He scored the only Exeter try in the first half. The only Exeter try from a rolling maul. The only Exeter try not scored by the backs.
Can't wait for the new season - is pedantry just a summer sport?

Saul Nelson will do great for you guys, I think its only early injuries that lost him the place at chiefs unluckily for him the other players played well also.
All the best LW, I know you beat us, but I will miss my visits to Old Deer park.
East Terrace Central
Our roads are paved with hope, and there are no stop signs.
"COME ON EXE!"
