Looking at the coaching staff section for the coming season, what do we know about the brief for our D.O.R. regarding the playing squad ? I see that he has no plans for coaching, or does he ? and lets buy the coaching team a set of phones for the coming season for instant team changes/tactics instead of waiting for the D.O.R. to arrive back at the bench area.

. . . and there were a lot of solid rumours about lads signing elsewhere. If done deals, when will they be confirmed / /
C'mon, guys. You know the routine... Not 'til the Devon stuff is over at least!
Come cheer up, my lads - 'tis to glory we steer!

But others are still playing (AP, NLs & Prom Final) so "new signings" may still be involved in competative games. I'm sure by the time we play our 1st game next season most of the squad will have been named.
I wonder if Neil Back leaving Leeds today means we have arranged a new head coach

Thursdays Herald says that Cushion, Sprangle and Fisilau have all signed on for the 11/12 season folks.
A little bit of info coming out of the inner sanctum.

Jeez - 3 re-signs announced at once. Shurely shome mishtake!

I seem to recall Rauri being one of the first (if not the first) to sign up last year.
Nice to see a bit of progress on the squad formation - 12 more to go then we can look at 'strength in depth'.

Looking at Franks list of player movement, I'd be surprised if Tyson Lewis came to brickfields as I read that last season we couldn't sign him as he had a good job in the city despite what we were feed. So unless we have got a lot more in the piggy bank or he's changed his mind, I wont hold my breath.
Semper Sersum.

With Tyson's signing announced today, James' earlier in the week and those who we know are staying the team is starting to develop into an impressive outfit, we must now get behind the club & team and provide them with the level of support they deserve and reconstruct Fortress Brickfields!

The Beeb have Mr Armitage 'in the bag' and (wait for it)...
...on a two year deal! (BBC Sport)
Personally I will really want confirmation on that one but if true:-
Welcome to Brickfields Bevon

P.S. Make the most of it - we actually have a sub-headline on the main BBC rugby page!

Good on 'em both!
Good luck upstairs, George and Sione. A big step up, doubtless, but I'm sure you'll give it your best. - And thanks for the press on the way out, too.
It's all progress - don't look back in anger, the man said, right?
Come cheer up, my lads - 'tis to glory we steer!

Herald say they were both in England Counties sights and "agree/set to return to Albion":
Cameron & Alex

Two from the rumour mill:
1. Ben Mercer to London Welsh.
2. Vince "in discussions" about returning to the Shop...

That's a surprise to me if Ben is off to L.W. wouldn't have thought they needed him with the wingers they have, but think your right about Vince returning to the shop, or at least Jill his wife with Vince running the place efficiently as it used to be.

After a reply "lacking in detail" at the Summer Conference, GoD speaks to the Herald:
3 more sign on for 2011/12

The R.T's talks about Bevon in todays edition as though he is nailed on for Albion and also says that we were one of only three clubs last season to have increased our gates, (0.4%) still it's an increase.

You must know folks in high places then SBE, although it was rumoured, I took this "inside info" straight from the horses mouth in the inner sanctum of the rugby times.
But I do wonder as to if they are printing it for the world to read then why haven't we announced it to the world and his dog ? I would be extremely "*** off" if his papers wern't in order. But I think it's another brinkmanship move from Dawsey, if not he's going to look like a p**t isn't he.
It's cool I'm sure. I think.

Bevon signs and Aaron resigns for next season. "The Herald" can't get any better than that source of info.

With a population over 34m I think we might need a new stand!

noibla - there's a subtle grammatical difference between "re-signs" and "resigns". There's a BIG difference semantically...

Way to go Albion....Signing Carps our #1 try scorer, international player, back up captain, and World Cup Player! What a "Cue" for us. We need more like this...keep it up.

. . . and, noibla, he'll cut and polish them ----- and then they'll move on, like all the others.
Did you notice, in the next to last line?
"Meanwhile, Lee's older brother, Mark, is likely to sign a new deal at Brickfields."

We are certainly recruiting what appears to be some quality backs. It bodes well for the new season. Does this mean that the majority of the forwards are remaining at the club?
Welcome Paul Bailey and best wishes for a long and productive time here in friendly Plymouth.

I think it does as far as the forwards are concerned Nomad and don't forget the D/R players that we are/were in talks with, from Sandy park wasn't it.
And then there's the prop fron Truro of course, saw someone who fitted his build around the club back along.

This slipped under my radar. Looks like it was sorted even before the end of last season:

Strange I am sure I saw him talking to Mat an Rauri today, maybe he was just saying goodbye.

"No official news, but rummors are not good for seeing Steve back for next season". Steve is coming back and he will be amazing!
As in "Johns"? He's on the bench this afternoon in Redruth, according to the Herald....
