Part of the risk would be losing one of the quality youngsters I guess - 3 full backs? Think we lost Briscoe years ago as he was wanting to play more regular first team rugby
Loads to spend in which way? Salary cap limits us regardless and more of a risk is on a player who was being listed last month as potentially being finished.
If we sign him as a player, we use him as a player - we have coaches to coach players
Tierney - Surely doesn't expect to be our first choice #1 next year, and can see an opening coming up just when he'll be ready to take it
Hampshire - Will probably see a lot of gametime off the bench at stand off going forward. Then possibly taking the #6 shirt for 2015 if Green doesn't shape up
So no, can't see us losing either of them.
Loads to spend - We're losing Tomkins and Richards, probably our two highest paid players, plus Tuson who won't be on much, and bringing in Bowen and Pettybourne. Surely that leaves a load of cap space, but I don't even see where else we need to spend. Like others said, this just gives us time so we don't have to throw Tierney or Hampshire in at the deep end, smart move. (If true!)
