Nothing firm, just the rumour from the P&P article last week. Agree we could do with some experience in the second row.

That's an interesting choice. Not over the hill yet, but definitely on the downward spiral. Plus, with Exter reasonably entrenched in the top 4, he doesn't provide any immediate relief, what with the Semi finals being on the the 20th of May.
On the other hand, he'd be better to have than both Day and Retallick as an experienced head.

Yeh interesting one, i'd be surprised if Exeter released him early for the sake of squad depth etc However on the same point i'd be surprised if he wasn't signed with the intention of playing alot earlier than that, because once all players are back (despite how average they are) the rebels aren't actually short of locking options. Although Parling is clearly a class above the rest. Cummins and Parling would be a solid combo and offer some much needed sting in defense.

He'd be a walk up start for the team.
If only Seany, Chibba and Smithy weren't out. The Rebels would have a nice forward pack
Smith
Hanson
Weekes
Parling
Cummins
Timani
McMahon
Mafi
With some good back row depth and some honest toilers at front and second row. Sadly those honest toilers are starting and with players not upto speed behind them.

I'd like to see a lock clear out to be honest.
Toolis and Jeffries are contracted so they can stay, but let Cummins, Retallick and Day go. Bring in Parling, Enever and a youngster, maybe Kellaway.

Surely Day gets a run over Cummins?

Bring over Lukhan Tui, 4th choice for the Reds.

If we couldn't secure Enever, 100%, but I don't think he'd move clubs to remain the 4th/5th lock, he'd need to be competing with Toolis for the bench spot rather than the backup spot.

I'm putting money (not much, mind) on a Sean McMahon re-signing.

A major sponsor ?
TT resigning ( and i haven't left out a hyphen)

That makes me feel a little better about our future.

Yep, looks like it's Laurie, not Seany. I stand corrected (again!). Still, not a bad re-signing at all!
Ok, since the wife has stolen the TV to watch godawful shit called "married at first sight", thought I'd do myself some investigate work.
Here's the picture in question, with some markup.
Two things stand out:
1. The beard/stubble. Standard forward caper. Could be Lorenzo, Chibba or pat.
2. A little hint of Tattoo poking out from the Jesery on the right arm.
Only one candidate for me - I give you, the people's champ:
