Nope, I don't see it this way at all. Especially the way Gussy has been rotating players this season, with noticeable effectiveness. Care and Landajo will share the game time, with Care taking a majority of starts across the season. But this enables Gussy to bring our 21 on with 50 mins on the clock as opposed to making Care play 70/80 every game. A perfect signing if you ask me.

Also, if we go by your speculation, by the time Care leaves in the summer of 2021, Landajo will be 32. So I don't think he's being lined up as DC's long term successor. And the speculation about Care heading to France is just that - there's no actual reason to believe that will be the case, but even if it is then that's 2 years for Saunders to develop (and Waters if he's staying).

Landajo is just what we needed and I feel like he maybe wasn't as expensive as you might think - he came from Jaguares so I doubt they were even paying him a bog standard Prem wage. But again, that's just speculation and my gut instinct.

I'm sure mulchrone will be happy with your suggestions, he's shows huge potential and many clubs will be after his signature if he doesn't get game time!!

Surely you would rather a hooker with the same international experiance as landajo??

Will Evans is a 7.

I didn't know this but Lambert been playing with Cheeseman at Richmond this season. Hence why he been hardly considered. Waters has taken time out of Rugby for a while with family issues.

I watched Cheeseman a few weeks back and he deft improved, his running is next to none.

I believe (but stand to be corrected) that Lambert was going to leave/retire at the end of last season.  However, he signed a new deal to stay on but was on a much reduced salary.
