It'd be a shame, but if it makes sense for the lad, then send him off with good wishes.

Mounis for Captain next year.

looks like he's on his way which would be a big loss to the team - it's all down to the Dragons releasing him from his contract
it seems all the players whose fate has not been decided are being left in limbo until the end of the season - at least it gives TR some breathing space to sort himself out for next season

It will be interesting to see how the recruitment goes this closed season.

I think a lot of it depends on how we finish the campaign. End it on a high and some of those who are undecided might be more keen to stay.

speaking to them,the majority (except Dallas) would like to stay,the way I see it,it's just a case of TR making decisions with Bernard vetoing the cash side
I know i'm a bit thick but for example,surely they can both see that Clint is one heck of a player to replace...

We're fine with our French players as well as:
* A SO to replace Mogg
* A Prop to rotate with Ferriol
* Possibly a FB to replace Greeny, if he goes.

If Walker is fit, I'd say keep him, he could partner Vaccari on the wing or fill in at FB.

agreed,the french players are very good players though the squad needs strengthening to compete with the 'bigger' teams - losing Clint,Walker,Ferriol,Baile & Mogg has cost the club dearly - Catalans need the quality squad back-ups in order not to end up like the Tigers,Trinity,Reds & the rest of the lower league teams

Of those, how many will we have lost for next year?
