No apparent Wasps bashing (still to read it all)
Wasps apparently after George McGuigan from Newcastle - strange one methinks.

The hooker? Must mean Tom Cruse is leaving or in contract talks.

He certainly scores a lot of tries.

Also looking at Radwan (obviously take these rumours with a huge piece of salt given its reporter), but that definitely would be quite a boon!
-
Wouldn’t mind both of those players, both would improve our squad

Felt that Radwan was the one to sign when we got Kibirige, but he had a few injuries back then when arriving on the scene.
McGuigan is class, just not sure why he didn’t make it at Leicester, probably with him Frost and Gabe and Thunder coming through I think that’s too much class on the books. Keeping Cruse on would probably be better value for money and a better way to keep all parties happy.
Until we have sorted finances however, surely no one at all will be looking at us.

It sounds mighty positive to me, because I’m an Optimist who can see a silver lining in most situations 😁 ……
So if I was the rich new (billionaire?) backer who is going to be financing the club et al, I would be asking who we need to sign to stand a good chance of winning the Premiership and the Euro Cup?

Unfortunately this may be why this won’t happen

Not necessarily. It depends on where the cap goes next, and that is upwards. The more of the Prem clubs that gain richer owners, the balance to accepting higher caps will shift. I am hoping that squad numbers will increase as well, allowing better rotation and rest periods.

Ah see what you mean.
-
Apart from his try scoring I like McGuigans abrasiveness. Long way to go before this happens but if nothing else a forward looking press piece is a welcome distraction.

If we missed out on Wade as rumoured, this is the only realistic option I'd be happy with getting. He's the most dangerous winger in the prem, if not an all-rounder. The most exciting winger to sign imo.
Also who's the source?

He'd be great - he also features in my "wasted by England XV" and will have something to prove (not to me obs... :D )

Definitely wasted by England for now.

Yeah - like Tom W, will likely feature post RWC with a new coach? Along with Thorley, Lawrence, Malins, and lots of others!
Radwan has recorded a 10:7 100m time which is quite something.....
Tom W is equal top "metres in contact" this season with 71m. Third place is around 50m.....which given he's not in the squad means metres in contact seems not rated??

I think you’ll find that money is very good at talking

Sean wants international rugby. End of.

You know better than me (and no - I'm not being sarcastic!!) but if the cash was right I reckon he'd be tempted big time. He likes a challenge. And it certainly would be. And he likes Wasps. Ah well, dream on.
-
After the game on friday Newcastle seem to have a better option already.
-
I'm not for a second suggesting we could get him. He agreed in principle once not so long ago, and then went back on it when it came time to sign contracts.
But the question wasn't, who, out of all the likely options, do we need to sign.
-
I'd be happy with getting. He's the most dangerous winger in the prem, if not an all-rounder. The most exciting winger to sign imo.
He'd be great - he also features in my "wasted by England XV" and will have something to prove (not to me obs... :D )
Called up!!
-
Really? Is he Russian?????

I'd bet he'd never play! (50p each way?)

McGuigan is one of the top hookers in the Premiership, he'd be a huge plus and addition.
But would he join a club that could be relegated at the end of the season? Will anyone?
-
Cruse is going to be 34 this season, not too old for a hooker, but creeping closer. With Oghre and Frost (especially) doing so well, it makes sense to either go big or small, and McGuigan is a top quality hooker.

This is the Prem. Once relegation is reinstated then just about any club couldbe relegated at the end of the season. However are you alluding to our financial woes?
-
Good as he is - I'm not sure we need McGuigan. Oghre, Frost and Cruse are still a fairly formidable trio.
Radwan is someone we should have gone for before we signed Kibirige but he looks for work, has real gas and would finish off our half chances.

The latter, just not well expressed
-
Blackett’s mantra seems more to be we will take someone if they improve us. I’d argue McGuigan would improve us and as such looks like a valid target.
-
I know this is just rumours, but unless the financing deal has already been done I can't see any players signing for Wasps, nor can I see Wasps trying to sign any
-
Plus one.
