Weymouth are in 'absolute chaos' according to one of their departed players, with several exisiting players reported to be furious with the club.
Full back Steve Tully, who joined Exeter last week, told the press: "I have spoken to a few of the lads and they have agreed to sign for other clubs only to be told they can't go anywhere. They are absolutely fuming and I am glad I am out of it. I spoke to Exeter straight away after we realised what was going on and I was delighted to get something sorted so quickly"
Tully's comments will seriously put into question the future of any Bulls bid for the services of Ben Smith. He was one of five players rumoured to be negotiating moves elsewhere.
