Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: From the WW Forum - Wasps info
« on: February 19, 2023, 11:18:06 AM »Am I the only one who thinks our new owners aren't being entirely open, transparent and honest about this process?They have said as much as Derek has.
It's easy to blame Atlas after their recent behaviour, but we have literally no idea what is going on at Wasps. I am not willing to give them my complete unwavering trust just because they bought a brand.
Derek isn't trying to revive a dead rugby club that is absolutely reliant on fan support to stand any chance of success.
Also have you considered that he might be staying quiet in order to not cause any bad feeling that may damage the chances of any future club? Let's imagine that there were serious fallings out before the end, and that some of the people on the other side of the argument are still involved. How would a former owner detailing that help the new club?
Derek has lost truly mind-blowing amounts of money in this and if he is at fault it is simply for not being a bottomless pit of cash for other people to take.

TRP suggests Tim Cardall will join Newcastle Falcons upon expiry of his Melbourne contract.
Great move for Tim.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: David Duckham dies
« on: January 11, 2023, 09:26:00 AM »Truly one of the greats. One solo effort from his own 25 to beat most of the Rosslyn Park (?) team twice and score under the posts, at Coundon Rd in 1971 (?), was perhaps my single most enduring memory of rugby in those halcyon days. Not to mention THAT dummy in the Baa-Baas match.
He was my inspiration as a kid.
.....And mine.
The best player Coventry RUFC have produced. Legend and lovely bloke to boot.

Midlands Central (Wasps) held out at the end for a close victory in the end.
Some impressive performances by the Wasps and Wuss youngsters. Wasps forwards were dominant but Wuss had some exciting backs.
Don’t like to pick out individuals but I thought young Rueban Logan was very impressive. He plays like a young Tom Willis - very physical with good offloads.
Nice to see coach Ashley there on the touch line.

Best wishes to Lee. I respect he kept his own counsel about what went wrong and didn't take the opportunity to criticise or blame anyone.

Good luck Ben. It’s some consolation that Ben has some options to explore.
I wish him well.

According to TRP Tom West has joined Ealing for this season and next.
Tom West is too good to play at Championship level.
