[QUOTE="saulan, post: 901939, member: 60236"] Sure, but doesn't that just continue their cycle they have been on? I mean, of those signed players, there aren't any big star players ( ones I liked in there are Nico Lee, Shaun Venter and William Small-Smith... Potentially Malcolm Jaer). They have lost almost all of their experienced leaders in the team. You can't compete for tournaments if every year is a rebuild phase. I was hoping with the movement over to the Pro 14 and having a lot more cash coming in, they would be able to retain a lot more of their big players, instead of being a feeder. Now they seem to be continuing their ways, being a feeder for European teams this time and then bringing in new talent to develop and then pass on. Would be nice if they could sign some big names from the other franchises from SA in the next few months. [/QUOTE]
