Speculation going on and now Keane is signed, I think a new topic is more than needed

So here's my own REASONABLE squad wish list

Denis Buckley LH Prop 2019 IQ
?????????? LH Prop NIQ HIGH-PROFILE TO SIGN
Ronan Loughney OR Ivan Soraka IQ ONE of them to re-sign


Tom McCartney Hooker 2020 IQ Oct 2017
Dave Heffernan Hooker 2019 IQ
Shane Delahunt Hooker IQ To Re-Sign


Finlay Bealham TH Prop 2019 Ireland
Conor Carey TH Prop IQ To Re-Sign
Dominic Robertson-McCoy TH Prop IQ To Re-Sign

JP Cooney Ambi-Prop IQ To Re-Sign


Quinn Roux Lock 2019 Ireland
Ultan Dillane Lock 2019 Ireland
James Cannon Lock 2019 IQ
Andrew Browne Lock/Flanker 2018 Ireland
Mick Kearney/Ian Nagle/Gavin Thornbury/Jerry Sexton Lock IQ To Sign
?????????? Lock/n°8 jumper/ball carrier à la Naoupu/Jeff Lepa NIQ TO SIGN


Jake Heenan Flanker 2018 IQ
Sean O'Brien Flanker/Lock 2018 IQ
Eoghan Masterson Number 8/Flanker IQ 2018
Eoin McKeon Number 8/Flanker Ireland To Re-Sign
James Connolly Flanker 2018 IQ
Naulia Dawai Flanker 2018 Fiji
John Muldoon Flanker/ No 8 2018 Ireland


Kieran Marmion Scrum-half 2018 Ireland
Caolin Blade Scrum-half 2018 IQ
Conor McKeon promoted from the Academy OR a new signing for 9

Marnitz Boshoff Out-half 2018 South Africa
Jack Carty Out-half 2019 IQ
Steve Crosbie Out-Half 2017 IQ


Craig Ronaldson Centre/Out-half 2018 IQ
Peter Robb Centre 2018 IQ
Bundee Aki Centre 2020 IQ Oct 2017
Rory Parata Centre/Wing IQ To Re-Sign
Eoin Griffin Centre 2018 Ireland
Tom Farrell Centre IQ To Re-Sign
Cormac Brennan promoted from the Academy OR a new signing for 12


Matt Healy Wing 2018 IQ
Stacey Ili Utility Back NIQ To Re-Sign
Tiernan O'Halloran FB/Wing 2018 IQ
Cian Kelleher Wing/Fullback 2018 IQ
Niyi Adeolokun Wing 2019 IQ
Josh Rowland OR Darragh Leader OR Danie Poolman Fullback/Wing IQ 2 of the 3 to Re-Sign
Ciaran Gaffney promoted from the Academy OR a new imposing size signing for back-3, à la Varndell/Trimble/Nadolo


Green = contract renewal
Blue = IQ signing
Red = NIQ/Project signing


44 man-squad,
5 or 6 newcomers, among who 3 NIQ including 1 Marquee-signing and 2 quality-signings,
Seems reasonnable

You can add a development contract/Year 3 repetition for 1 or 2 guys not promoted (see above + Dinneen), and let Menuargia developing in England one full sesason (+ Moloney/other released btw)
