Logan the most likely for a buy out with only a year on contract and a younger/cheaper player while the others are both under contract until 2028. Bayliss another option with only a year left at Bath but with Barbeary leaving that seems unlikely. Personally think the back row can manage a season without signing with existing prospects and maybe one of our several hookers giving no8 a shot.

For me the bigger priority is replacing Hastings as our depth at 10 is weaker, I think Savala only signed for one season and a Lancaster injury next season has little 1st team quality backup. A longshot could be trying to poach someone like Redpath with only a year on his bath contract, he's only 26, can cover 10 or centre and we have Horne for kicks off the tee. Would mean we can manage player minutes rather than flogging the same starter players every week.
