On Luke Keary , I think it's partly down to concussion injuries .

One worry is that eve though we have money to spend and cap space, many deals for the better players becoming available will already have been done, particularly British players

Myler will have to be doing some of the recruitment given how close we are to the May 1st deadline, can't have a squad made up of the dregs again next year because we waited too long to appoint a head coach. a poor season again next year will be a season too far for a lot of fans

That could be why Myler has stated a few times that it’s about deciding the style of rugby the club want to play and then getting in the people that compliment that?

He has stated that concussion injuries played no part in his decision to leave the game.

The May 1st deadline no longer exists.
Agents are offering their clients to clubs all year round.
The DOR will find the appropriate players and more importantly with the right mental attitude.
This is why our recruitment and retention has been shocking since Motu left.

They are trying to get Russell in but Ian Watson won't let him leave before the semi final.
