[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 868128, member: 40658"] I think the signings will start by next week. My suspicion is that most of the current squad will remain as the bulk of the team, the 7's players will not be part of the PRO14 group, and will just play Currie Cup, and then open up spots for other players to be signed on. I think the guys that should be on the Cheetahs shopping list should be: Johan Goosen Franco v/d Merwe Bismarck Du Plessis Heinrich Brussouw Ashley Johnson Willie Le Roux Now I know most of these guys have contracts in NH, but they are all part of the Cheetahs alumni (except Franco)... Goosen is "retired" and in SA. Franco's contract hasn't been renewed and is basically a free agent. Another guy that springs to mind is Ruan Pienaar, who is also retired. He can't play for Ulster anymore, but why not get him to return to the Cheetahs. His experience of playing in Ireland will be a massive attribute to have. [/QUOTE]
