Title: BB Livestream
Post by: NellyWellyWaspy on January 24, 2022, 03:44:02 PM
Just watched a livestream interview with BB on Facebook.

Some takeaways (his view/opinion).

Obviously he doesn't 'know' who is leaving (and not yet announced), but feels the main opportunity for signings are in the backs. Maybe Wasps are still looking for someone like Esterhuizen, who they tried to sign before Quins nabbed him.

Seemed to suggest the pack was not going to see much by way of change other than what we have seen/know already.

Hinted that we will see Jack back soon also.

Oh, and he is pretty sure Jimmy is off to Tigers.

Some discussion around Alfie and mad Eddie, and around Jacob/Charlie (needing experience and development).

Yes, thought his comment on Jack was very encouraging. Also hinted that Fifita’s illness seems to be nearly done with.

Ah yes. 'Illness' he did confirm was Wasps-speak for a certain topical illness (Covid). So Mills may be out for Sarries too.

I was about to ask the question of this 'mysterious' illness causing late withdrawals from the matchday squads. Guessed that Covid was quite probably the culprit.
