Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Government at odds with Premiership rugby clubs over ?150million Covid-19 loans.
« on: March 31, 2024, 12:04:36 PM »
The entire premiership looks insolvent. Perhaps they should all be relegated and have their P-shares confiscated.
On the plus side, if a 10 team premiership is more viable than 13, then a premiership of zero clubs should be the most sustainable of all.

I can think of a few ways the term giant could be applied to Sarries. It pairs nicely with cheats for example.

If a second team is needed, perhaps there?s an opportunity for Worcester, LI or even Jersey. Or perhaps all four of us.
As for grounds, I?m not sure the Den is in the right sort of area to host rugby matches. Perhaps Charlton is a better option if looking for alternatives along the railway lines heading out to Kent. They?ve even had a nomadic period in the not too distant past, so might be a kindred spirit.
Of course, there are other grounds in Greater London that have hosted rugby teams in the past. The Stoop (over most of our dead bodies) and dear old (?) Loftus Road.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Premiership clubs to face squad limits under new regulations to cut costs
« on: December 13, 2023, 06:26:32 PM »
Hang on. Why the need to limit squad numbers? Surely it can?t be on the grounds of cost. After all, reducing the number of teams in the Prem was meant to increase revenue for the remaining clubs. That?s what the promise was. The muppets.

Take the win ? you managed to hear him chant it twice as he left you for dust. That means your hearing is in perfect working order.

Some sensibly heads down in Sevenoaks and Blackheath. So how come the AhEffYou ends up with utter muppets like Sweeney Todd the demon CEO of Twickenham?

On a more serious note, the bit I?m struggling with is the idea of a short-term fix in Worcester. If the longer term plan is a move to Kent, what is the strategy on building a brand and a fan base?
My take is this looks like two tactics bolted together dressed up as a strategy. In other words, it?s just tactics without strategy.

Could I be so bold to suggest that stopping the sniffing of petrol might improve longer term memory prospects😃

Not going well in training? How the hell is that possible? Are we conceding tries and turnovers to the tackle bags? To be honest, I wouldn?t be surprised with this lot.
Borthwick is starting to look like rugby?s answer to Chris Silverwood.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Summer Internationals

Great result for Fiji. I was smiling at the end at their sheer joy that they?d won and they?d actually enjoyed their rugby along the way. They reminded me of Wasps, somewhat leaky on the points front but dangerous with the ball in hand.
Imagine how much worse England will be come the 6N when they?ll have lost all those off the play in France.
This 10 team premiership is looking ever more of a disastrous idea.

Fazlet?s remorse only relates to being caught. Seems about right given who he is and the club he plays for.

Perhaps he was forecasting that Farrell would be up in front of the Beak.

Perhaps he got a frequent flyer discount given his frequent impersonation of a one-winged aircraft.

Shame for Fazlet as he has to miss those extra Sarries games. He has prior commitments to help little old ladies cross roads.
