New signings

Who do we think are real possibility signings for next year?

I’d like RG Snyman from South Africa, Thomas Young and Sam Moore

Snyman is on the market and is attracting interest from some big clubs, Sam Moore recently signed a new 4 year contract while Young has 2 seasons left on his Wasps deal

Can see a fair bit of recruitment being done for next season:
RG Snyman, Sam Lousi, Ben Lam, Sam Davies, Owen Williams, Josh Adams SERIOSLY boost the quality in our squad.
 
With Cardiff Blues reportedly looking at Josh Adams/Steffan Evans- pretty sure Owen Lane is out of contract...would not be a bad option at all. But I cant see him leaving Cardiff.

Not sure if Werner Kruger is staying - I'd like to think he is, but if not, we would need a very good signing to replace him. Not sure who's about.

Retention is also key.

Ideally, we need to recruit quality that will not be part of the world cup to really get our European campaign underway.

As it stands, Sam Davies, Owen Williams, Sam Lousi, Ben Lam would give us a massive boost for that.

Unfortunately he had a couple of poor games before he really had a chance to settle, and then a long injury. Who knows, he may yet come good.

Sam is a classy kicking 10, but doesn't really fit in with the Scarlet's style - in any case, we already have Dan Jones, whose kicking game is top class and who IMHO is fine as back up to Patch. Why look elsewhere?

I think Owen Williams could be bought in as a creative centre. Also it's worth noting that Hadleigh Parkes, Jonathan Davies and Kieran Fonotia are all now 30.
