Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Saracens - naughty naughty, very naughty

If they are quick about the deduction that puts Sarries in the relegation fight. All we need then ins an adverse fluctuation in BitCoin or FTSE100 values to distract the players whilst they manage their portfolios and whoosh through the trapdoor.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: The Cheats write off over £45m of debt

He has converted it to equity so it is writing off a debt to himself. He was no more likely to get it back from Sarries via his ownership vehicle then he is directly from Sarries, so might as well make the books look better.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: And So On To Worcester at Home

It is all OK, according to the official site:
"It’s yet another big Gallagher Premiership clash as Wasps look to fight for their place in the top half of the table while Worcester try to avoid the dreaded drop in Round 18."
So we're safe.

I think (on 15th re-read) it just means that any existing agreement will continue, so a renewal will not happen.

Did anyone notice what happened to the bench that Tommy Taylor, Marcus Watson, Ben Morris et.al. were sitting on? In all of the on pitch excitement I must have missed something because next time I looked the picture had changed to them all sitting on the grass and what looked like a pile of wood behind them.
Great match, a lot of promising players coming through.

Jannie de Beer showed they could be quite useful in 1999, and there was quite an exciting one in 2003 if I recall correctly. Perhaps they will come back into fashion.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Reasons to be cheerful
« on: March 25, 2019, 03:00:44 PM »
Excellent article. It has been a bad year, but as someone else pointed out with a couple of results the other way we would be in contention for top 4.
I do find the most depressing thing is not the losing (bad though that is) but the manner in which we throw away results with headless moments from experienced players (e.g. WLR kicking possession away and 2 minutes later we concede a try). But, there is a lot to be positive about and you summed it up excellently. Thank you.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Shaun Edwards' Wasps return 'would be a fantastic statement' says Dai Young
« on: March 19, 2019, 05:38:51 PM »
"Certainly somebody like Shaun would be a fantastic statement" followed by "But if it's not Shaun, we would still be in the market to looking to improve what we've got."
Hopefully he is just being coy and the "like" and "but" are red herrings.

Probably has an under-12 lined up to be an apprentice and go to Japan for experience instead.

« on: March 13, 2019, 09:30:15 AM »Some people were always gonna hate him for not being Cips.
This was one of my favourite moments in the recent history of the club, the only thing that came close was Jimmy's last minute kick against Chiefs to win the QF.

Excellent, though Di should control his emotions a bit better.
A sad indictment, the dog heard the theme tune for the European Cup and skulked off with his head down to hide in another office. Probably thinking "more %^&^* rugby so my dreams of walkies are dashed"
