If we win the Champions Cup in it next year, it’ll be the first thing on our shop wall
Well that's not going to happen!!

« on: August 19, 2022, 01:29:16 PM »Given our strengths and weaknesses is it feasible for Carr to play second row? I vaguely recall this happening at some point - although maybe as an emergency mid game. Completely agree about his under use - he’s a fantastic player.
It would be more likely Brad has a stint in the 2nd row than Nemo.
I fancy Kibirige to get his form back this season leaving Odogwu to have a proper go at nailing down the Outside Centre berth.
Can't see us starting Brad in the second row unless we've (again) got major injury issues. He's a big lad, but not "lock" big!

« on: August 19, 2022, 11:58:46 AM »Van Veuren specifically mentioned as a signing as well which I dont think had been confirmed previously although he has been around the squadfor a while now.
That's good news, after last season's hooker crisis!

Any idea on the training kit? I like the blue trim one.

Ah, that's why Lee is paid to make those decisions and I'm not!
I'd probably advocate more rotation. I know we were forced into decisions last term by who wasn't broken, but if we have the luxury of choice then we can give Nemo more game time and rest Tom and Alfie more. Brad too, he played a phenomenal number of games last time.

« on: August 19, 2022, 08:55:58 AM »I just wonder how much non playing 'issues' are affecting the players thinking at the moment. I hope that they are being given the the respect and facts that they deserve.
Haha, I started this thread to talk about something other than the "non-playing issues"
FWIW, on the back-row debate, I think Nemo is criminally under-used. He's a serious player, ex-Springbok, and can't get a look in at the moment!

Out of the loop for five minutes and something else crops up. This stuff comes at you fast now!
It's just a nothing story, isn't it? HMRC haven't issued any order against Wasps and the rest is all click-bait? Obviously feel for the Worcester fans, but this is just a "ooh, Wasps are mentioned too" piece, isn't it?
Can't wait for the bloody season to start so we can all talk about rugby instead.

What a shame. I know I'm a new poster, but I've been reading your views for quite some time and it's always seemed like a nice place to hang out
One of the biggest losses to society, and it has changed noticeably in the last six years I think, is the ability to have reasoned debate, to see things from another's point of view, and to listen to arguments and maybe even change your mind.
Ah well. So be it.

I'd like to think that Mr. Street just told CCFC to shut up moaning and that they had unrealistic expectations of being able to play so soon after the CG 7s.
Realistically I suspect there has been some commitment to a reduction in rent - or at least a deferral until the games can be played.
Either way, a reduction in hostilities has to be a good thing.

I'll be surprised if anyone other than Bristol and Bath aren't having problems, and I only exclude them because of the individual wealth of their owners.
Covid has been brutal for all the clubs.
Per the other comments, though, suspect in this case it's Worcester. We shall see - hopefully not enough to put them out of business, wouldn't wish that on anyone.
