The following is a list of player movements in and out of Coventry Rugby club for the coming season 2013/14, arranged in a positional order. Please note that there are still on-going discussions with prospective players, both from last season and possible new signings, as well as trialists, so this is not the definitive list but will be updated on a regular basis once negotiations, paperwork and press releases have been completed. In addition, the usual caveat has to be made that signings are all subject to RFU registration.

difficult one to answer mick with trialists and people still abroad, but i think that the club are looking for a smaller overall squad than the 46 used last season.dont forget the worcester dr connection as well.

Agree with Fordy.
Depth at prop, second row and an out and out No 7.
Need more fit bulk in both front row and second row
What's happening with Maisey?
Hopefully some new signings will in these positions will help us progress towards the top 4 or higher

Hoping Will Maisey and Tom Harris re-sign, looking like a good squad so far.

A lot of people leaving. New Broom/Clearout? Arrangement with Worcester looks interesting.
