Gregor Gillanders out to Bedford, although he was only on loan thats another forward gone.

so we are now a second row and a back row down on last season. With no apparent signings on the horizon

Shame about Gregor, I thought he was a cracking prospect. It's down to money I guess why we didnt sign him.

I think you're right there hipflask.

They have also gone almost unnoticed so are really in with a chance of hitting the season with a great start.

I would also add that they did well to survive their first season and whilst they didn't come out with any great results they can certainly stand tall and proud after the end of season table.
