To be fair to whoever was in charge at the time, regarding Bearne, Dongda He and Etete we didn't "let them go". All three were obviously offered contracts way above what we could offer, so why would any of them choose to stay with us rather than move to a Premiership club? None of them have made the grade yet, so the best that we can hope for is that we managed to negotiate sufficient contract clauses so we get some benefit if any of them do make the big time.
