Mmmm it may be that he had not much choice with his 'chosen'.
His hand's may have been tied by the salary cap not increasing,
in that he's needed to lose players and bring in cheaper options
but not necessarily better players, so the back ups used when
there are injuries aren't as strong next season.

Hard to agree with much of that. Significant upgrades for me in
Landajo, Botta and Campagnaro. Evans a younger, livelier option
than Wallace. Lawday potentially stronger all round than
Luamanu. Baldwin may even become our starting hooker and is a
big improvement on Ward. Maybe not the star names we have been
linked with, but some shrewd and sensible squad recruitment so
far. Still hoping for a couple of top tier reinforcements, but
I'm happy with the squad he looks to be building and definitely
see it as a step forward from those who are departing.

Horwill and Visser were not expected retirements. That cash
should (in theory) be available to use.

Whilst the points tally/wins and league position may not be
dramatically better than previous regimes the most important
thing is the context of this position within our direction of
travel. It feels like we are on the up when it comes to
performances, rather than down. The future is bright.
