The July 1 date poised to leave the Premiership finishing its stalled season with XVs looking very different

How the Premiership will look on July 1

Gloucester chief executive Lance Bradley has suggested the Gallagher Premiership season could reach a conclusion with teams looking very different to how they looked when the campaign was suspended last month due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Players who are on the move for the 2020/21 season are due to fall out of contract on June 30 across the league and join their new clubs on July 1. On paper, it looks like a logistical nightmare if these changes take place and the 2019/20 season still hasn’t be completed. However, Bradley doesn’t see the fuss in players finishing out the current season with different clubs, claiming players just simply have to move on as contracted to do so. 

Such a scenario would see the likes of Saracens’ Jack Singleton see out this season with Gloucester, and title-chasing neighbours Bristol benefitting from having Kyle Sinckler, Ben Earl and Max Malins arriving at Ashton Gate on July 1. 

Speaking to gloucestershirelive.co.uk, Bradley said: “You can’t keep players on when their contract has expired and they have got another contract with another club.

“If we ended up playing this season beyond the end of June and we had three or four different players to what we have, I don’t see that being a huge problem in the context of what we’re trying to do.

“We’re no longer in the ideal scenario. When we’re looking at all the options, it’s no good looking at what it looked like two weeks ago because that’s gone.

“We’re into the new normal whatever that might be and if that means having a few more players than we had last season, then maybe one of our games we end up playing someone who was playing for us. If that’s how we get it done, that’s how we get it done.”

Aside from Singleton, Gloucester could have Ealing Trailfinders flanker Jordy Reid finishing out the season with them while they would lose Benetton-bound Callum Braley and Aaron Hinkley, who has been snapped up by Exeter.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
