A measure of the progress of our negotiations could be seen in whether we pick up any Worcester players who are now free agents. In any other circumstances we would be in prime position to sign them. Geography, need, room in the cap. The only thing that would stop us is if we have an uncertain future. If we sign any of them I would take it as a very good sign. Not signing them might be a worrying sign.

Or maybe we don't want any of them.

I think Duhan van der Merwe might add something...

Yes please

Gone back to Edinburgh

Excellent news ( my team)

Just so I can re-set my nervous countdown, is the new deadline now Saturday 15th October?

Wasps seem to be upping their social media & community efforts in the last few weeks.

Don't know if that is a sign of confidence in a deal to be concluded imminently or a last desperate bid to show what a community based club Wasps are & all efforts to save if should be made.

Think it’s been said that social has been better. Definitely the last week has  had loads of players tweeting about coming to Sundays game as well as advertising it for emergency services personnel.

Gut instinct is that it's the latter on the back of Worcester.

Among them, "Genesis Wealth Creation".

Don't suppose they could create about £50m of wealth any time soon, could they?
