I kind of agree with the previous commentary, I think Dai is running a 'new broom' kind of approach this season now. The results have been underwhelming (okay an understatement), and Dai and his team ploughing tons of energy into keeping players is not what he should or want to be doing, if the players have made their minds up. I suspect he has diverted his attention to creating a Wasps, that is now based in Coventry and focused on a different way moving forward, built on a core of loyal players, exciting recruits and solid academy promotees/young prospects. I am personally pretty excited by the front row recruitment, a bit more weight and power will do us no harm. JTA looks a frighteningly good acquisition and has played at the top level, that can be no bad thing. A bit of good news creates a buzz (like what I did there) and a more positive outlook for the club. The next challenge is a decision on full-back, does Dai go with Miller and promote Umaga to understudy...or does he cast his net outside, I suspect the net casting has begun as WLR has been a worst kept secret. ED is off IMO, the delay will be down to legal machinations or making time to make sure Wasps are adequately covered. We still need a replacement for Wade, as Neal is okay but not a natural and Watson will be leaving I think, as that was another project I suspect which hasn't paid off.
This last few days, after all of the rumor gloom and sniping from the anti-Wasps contingent on social media, feels uplifting. I for one am positive about the future. Onward.
