Robert Lewis signed for an English club too didn't he?

Nigel Davies to the Dragons/ Cardiff / Merthyr which ever has the biggest budget.
So probably Merthyr Ha ha!

Rob Lewis apparently signed by Mosely, Jordan Howells signed for Bargoed Adam Jones Cardiff Chris Thomas is in New Zealand but will be returning to us at some point . Rumoured Nathan Presence is dropping down a level because of work commitments. Word on the street is Damian is going to Nantyglo to be forwards coach teaming up with Jon Hawker. Who knows? Apparently we have a Tongan International joining but Bargoed are in the chase. Ollie Drake Pontypool tightness is moving to us . Tom Edwards is coming back an outside half from Pontypridd has put pen to paper so I think there s lots happening. Apparently Chippy has recommended 6 players to us from his u 20's . We will see when September comes.

My son works with a current player ,and confirmed most of the last posting .However he insists that DAMIEN is staying but will be involved with coaching the forwards.BARTLETT has signed for NEWPORT and LEVESEY could be moving on .Like it or not rumours will keep us going until the new season starts.?

It's going to be a long summer trying to dissect the fact from fiction on the rumour mill, but knowing our management as I do I'm sure they are doing their best to put a competitive squad together.

Looks like we could rule out Cardiff RFC for Nigel, as Steve Law the Bedwas coach has signed for them.

According to the Lower League Forum, he was coming to us, but now staying at Pooler... allegedly!

Our chairman, Jon Jones, along with the coaches are working many hours to secure us signings to keep us competitive.

As long as the rest of the current coaches remain, I don't think we need anymore?

Lee and Damien as forwards
Gareth Maule as backs
Lewis Roberts as conditioning

Do we really need more chiefs?

Think a head coach will be needed on top of that, but otherwise it seems a good setup for us.
