[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1109816, member: 73592"] Bath list their academy as being full squad now, remember Lee-Warner and Va Velze are in as locks, rather than backrowers anyway; and neither are likely to stay beyond this season. Williams will be off, and Underhill* is likely to be off this season, and I'd be (happily) surprised if DeCarpentier stays as well. White is an academy level gamble, not sure he's even contracted for next year; and Coetzee is looking rather surplus (given how little we've seen of him), though I'd be loathe to lose 5 from the backrow * Underhill - great player and I love him, but he's a bit of a luxury player in that he (rightly) demands top wedge, but he spends more time in the physio's room than anywhere else, and will be off with England whenever actually fit. I'd also say that, with his history of concussions, he ought to be considering retirement. Lastly, he's likely to be our marquee, so [B]if[/B] we do move on from him, then bringing Russell in, wouldn't cost a single penny in terms of the cap (though it'd be doubling what our marquee is getting paid) [/QUOTE]
