Anyone else think that Gloucester next season have a chance of winning the title? There are a lot of good players coming in (eg Morgan) and along with the ones we have I think there is a chance! Hopefully Morgan, JSD, Sharples and May can work their magic all season with Trinder/Twelvetrees in the centre. I'm looking forward too it, think our back line could be one of the best in the Premiership.

Snowball in hell's I'm afraid. You're right about the backline, but the pack looks distinctly softcock, particularly if Nick Wood gets injured - and I don't think the backline is good enough to get around that.
Also, one of the best backlines going forwards maybe - but in defence? There's a number of them with things to work on in that department.

They'll be playing wonderful free-flowing Turkish backline rugby.

Pity them, for they have no props.

looks like Nigel Davies will be the head honcho, you'll get to see some lovely tries from the shed, but be prepared to lose more than you win.
And while the Turks have never had props your will suddenly get soft hands but weak backs.

Yeah, I posted that and then realised what I had said.
Send him to Cross Keys for a few weeks, he'll be sorted in no time.

We've virtually no chance of topping the table because of squad size and quality in the tight 5, but if we develop some players over the course of the season, hit a vein of form towards the end, keep our key players injury free, and manage to break into the top 4, I think we have a chance of causing an upset through the playoffs.
Just seen Tindall has signed as player/backs coach.
This is hilarious! All that talent in the backs and you put him in charge of them!

He's not the best, and I hope he doesn't get in ahead of 12. Twelvetrees 13. Trinder 22. Mills/Molenaar 23. May, but I'd like him to be around when injuries occur. I think a lot of the youth in the squad can draw from his experience and defensive game, and he covers both 12 and 13 now, so he's handy to have around.
Not sure about him as a coach. He's loyal to Gloucester which is a plus, but has no coaching credentials. I'd have been worried whoever we brought in though. We don't quite have the money to attract the Wayne Smiths of the game. Hopefully him taking a dual-role means we have a bit more money to invest in the tight 5.
