We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Onthemoverugby has got some pretty interesting tweets.

A NWQ scarlet on the move and Scarlets and Blues chasing Tim Nanai Williams.

McNicholl is a very good player. Reminds me of Fenby but quicker and with better hands. Injuries have hit him over the last couple of seasons but he's fully fit now and benching for the Crusaders.

Tim nanai williams is an explosive player. I'd love to see him here on the wing or at fullback he can create something from nothing.

Tagi is likely to leave yes, but I doubt that would be worthy of much attention.....

Tagicakibau possibly to Dragons. Their targeted signings would not give much comfort to their fans.

Looks like Lyn is going at the end of the season too.

Tagi only lasted first half at Ebbw Vale-ice pack on leg. Seems injured so much and with a NWQ you need them playing all the time. Sadly seems injury prone.

If Tagi is going, please say we have an Islander lined up to come in.

Not really overloading in the backs- we are desparate for a winger. DTH plus Johnny backed up by Harry, Hadleigh, Ashley Evans, Owen & Steff Evans. Can't really see us getting another 8 think Allen, Condy backed up by Barclay on faster grounds will do. Another 2nd row is needed & make that two if George is leaving. Ball, Bulbring backed up by Tom & who if Earle joins Paulinho in leaving. Those 3 plus another Ball type NWQ would be minimum with Lewis as back up at 5 & 6. The position at 3 is also of interest. Samson, Kruger & Pete backed by who? Will Ben Leung and/or Jack Payne be ready for 2016/17 I wonder. I am assuming that Pitman & Taylor will be leaving.

We need a winger. Johnny seems a good option, a bit like Steff Evs with his stepping but a bit bigger physically I'd say. 

I did a bit of googling and there's also some evidence of him place kicking, which we are more than desperate for.
We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh
