2nd Playmaker

I am a bit surprised we haven't tried Miller there.

Yes agree with that. Could be good.

[BG]

Umaga makes more sense as I think he's played 12 before. Are Umaga and James still with the squad or been loaned out?

[AKWasp]

Only issue with Miller is potentially he’s a bit lightweight to be in the 12 channel, definitely capable in attack but Jimmy, Billy and evening Lima have shown they can tackle above their weight

Ryan Mills would be top of my list if he ever decided to leave Worcester, hes been consistently excellent at 12 and is EQP.

Yep - I've always like Mills. Big and strong, intelligent, good boot and a decent long pass. He'd have been top of my list but his form has dipped a bit recently. He has been very loyal to Worcester and signed a new contact last year I think but if they go down I'd love to see him here.

I’ll also share my 2p:

2) Lots of plaudits for Atkinson at Glos as he can play much more direct too which draws in defenders and opens the space wider.

Mark Atkinson, previously of this parish?

Indeed, did not realise he’s a former Wasp- even more reason to get him back

Isn’t Mills club captain at Wuss?

I think Cornell du Preez is club captain but Mills is usually on field captain if CdP not playing

[Shugs]

Truth is there aren't many out there. I'd like to see Lima tried there next year with either Umaga or Searle inside him. Spink and Miller are decent calls. Hopefully Jimmy has a couple of seasons in him to give us some breathing space to develop.

[HDAWG]

Jimmy is most certainly retiring at end of the season

Has it been announced or is it information you've been given?

[HDAWG]

Neither. The tone of announcement of his re-signing was one more season. Simultaneously he's 36 and get more injuries and longer injuries and we need to start looking asap.

[Beasties]

Mills would be perfect, he's been awesome for Worcs and has been the brains in that backline for a while now. Great to see his injury run finished at last. He won't be involved with Eng either but is good enough to have been considered in the past but for the injuries.

How long is Sopps here for now? If he's off at the end of the season then we don't need someone to counterract his deficiencies anyway.
