Apart from the back row, looks pretty settled. Think at least one of Washy, Abdull and Westerman will go personally. And I'd be getting extensions in place for Taylor and Sneyd as soon as possible.

I'd keep Talanoa for one more year.

Think we won't have much movement I expect us to bring in two forwards, one to replace Manu (who I think will go)

I don't think our squad is far off winning a GF, only Saints are a class apart and that is a lot to do with Barba, who might not be here next year.

Just need a bit of luck with injuries which we have had the last two years, I feel mentally we are ready to win a GF and still think we have a decent chance this year.
