I thought Burgess was keen to pursue the Hayes experiment. I guess we could do with a third half for balance and injuries, though.

Not expecting a big-ish name unless you know otherwise? Keary is already spoken for anyway.

Good news! looks a decent player.

I said he's signed. I haven't mentioned the length of his contract as I'm not sure yet. No idea when the club will announce it.

Looks like Bateman's going to Souths for 2025. We can't afford him. Dufty's wage goes up considerably from next season, which was part of his contract extension terms.

We're also looking at a League 1 2nd row with potential that Burgess likes the look of, but that's still in it's very early stages.

So looks like the proposed residency rule is actually going to happen next year. So yates could get a British passport and not count on the overseas quota.
This would give us 2 overseas quota spots, doesn't mean we'll automatically use them, but would give us more potential options.
