Some high profile signings by Trailfinders. It will be interesting to see how some of them fare and how successful Trailfinders are. Can they break into the top 4? They will still have to contend with the Red Roses eligibility rules which could impact later in the season. Exeter have also had the same issue which meant they couldn’t always field their preferred team.
