Do Newcastle even stand a chance?

Do Newcastle Falcons even stand a chance in next seasons AP, with Worcester coming up with their already strong squad and improving (with the singing of players such as Ceri Jones, Ben Gulliver) And Sale's massive money spending spree reconstruction and Newcastle's next closest team being Wasps (who lets be honest have about a 0% of relegation because of signings such as Steve Thompson and Marco Wentzel) Could Newcastle even be competitive next season?

Nope. Newcastle should have gone down this season. Worcester were significantly better in ND1 then either them or Leeds. I can't see anyone else going down.

I wouldn't say they stand no chance of staying up, but they certainly must be favourites to drop this time.
It all depends on who manages to turn their game around and start performing after a crappy season. Worcester and Sale would be the other possibilities, and there's always the chance that Wasps or someone will just continue to lose momentum.
But as I said, Newcastle don't look in a good place.

Worcester better not go back down again.

I dont think they will, Newcastle have not made their squad any stronger. Their only singing's have being club cast offs where as Worcester in my opinion don't need to sign anyone to have a stronger squad on paper and Worcester get a much bigger attendance, better facilities and a larger budget.

Will be interesting to see what happens. If you look at how close the fight to avoid relegation was between Newcastle and Leeds was last season who do you guys actually think is the better side out of the 2?

Of the 2 teams, I genuinely thought Leeds were the better side. That's sport for you though.
