And with Scholes having left, it's certainly making way for one of Adam Byrne/Keenan to come over next season (or on a loan deal before if needed). When you see how they've destroyed Dragons away, they certainly waste talent with only 3 or 4 games per season. Just like Kelleher realised.
O'Donnell moving back to TH leaves a door wide open for Dooley too!

Sevu Reece brought into Crusaders training squad. Not likely to get a contract though as they've a rake of depth in the back 3. Could possibly follow their assistant coach to Scarlets?

Such a shame the way it all worked out, he'd have been coming in at an ideal time with Niyi potentially out with the bicep injury (any word on the severity of the injury)? I still think we need extra cover in the back 3.

Indo and Examiner say Niyi is having a scan on the arm injury, and de Payper reckons surgery is likely. Aki, Bealham & Roux all likely to feature at the weekend. Stephen Kerins has been added to the EPCR squad in place of Conor McKeon.

Straight replacement for Ronaldson...
On shorter term, medical joker SH and back-3 to come before interpros
For SH, not many IQ, Heaney seems busy with Worcester, so the Reece NIQ spot should go there on a 2-month-contract, before Super rugby and Marmion come-back.
The IQ back-3, then.
My order of preference would be :
1) Adam Byrne (and sign him for next season, starved of gametime compared to his potential talent...)
2) Peter Lydon, a 15/10 who kicks very well, useful, played in France and England
3) Charlie Ingall (utility back) 29, so experienced, Newcstle, Wasps, Sale, London Scottish, nothing spectacular but good joker
4) Rory Parata, if not keen of a come-back, his team-mate Alex 0'Meara, a pure n°14
5) Sean Scanlon (Nottingham FB)

Can’t see another niq signing at 10. Unless he’s Irish qualified from when his dad was in Ireland?
