I do wonder I've mentioned this before, with Ratu, Ellis and Jones all never being replaced. I know contract extensions swallow some up, but I don't believe those will cover those 3 wages. I'd hazard a guess despite how much were told this is the most expensive squad we've had I believe we've room to manouver.
But wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Matongo, Johnstone and Bowden are moved on to free up more space.

Agree. Depth is a major problem. Our first choice 17 was never going to win SL but should have been good enough to challenge the top 4. Injuries to key players and we struggle badly. There simply is not enough quality outside the 17. Other clubs who have suffered from covid problems and injuries have dealt with it better than we have. As has been mentioned numerous times the cap has been mismanaged. You can't make contingency for covid but you should for injuries,
Hopefully the majority of the fans will continue to back the club and renew for next season otherwise it could be a long time before we come close to challenging for trophies again.

Luckily our fans are very loyal and seem to forget quickly.
Need a couple of signings in key positions, these dont have to be big signings, just players to improve us, the likes of Lussick would be a start.

All me guessing
I'm worried that Wynne may go just purely because we have other Full Backs, he's one of the few who actually puts a shift in and at least is a threat in broken play
