We Need to talk about Worcester

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So will be interesting to see what route they head down
Tom Cruse apparently joining from Bedford as forwards coach

Nick Schonet, Nial Annett, Matt Kvesic, Matt Rogerson, Josh Bassett, Lloyd Williams, Juan González of Uruguay all rumoured as players

I can see them signing a lot of Champ players and Senior academy player releases also.

Apparently both Alfie and Jake Garside from Bedford and Saints

Just hope for no old big names that will be a waste of money. Hopefully stick to players who are young and at least know the English rugby systems

 

[Crash Hamster]

Kvesic confirmed.

 

[McTallshort]

Kvesic confirmed.

Ragging!

GJ van Velze could still do a job in the Championship

 

[Which Tyler]

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tiff Eden hahahaha
Surely going bankrupt and then out of existence is punishment enough for Worcester fans?

 

[Crash Hamster]

Can't wait for the lesser lights to be announced to form our full [checks graphic] 12 man squad.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

NGL I dislike this by the day thing espcially when it's obvious who the player is

But I guess they want to drag the hype as much as possible

Guessing 12 important names and the rest will be squad filler announced in bundle or something

Yep, have to assume it's 12 names you might recognise, and another 20-odd players released from Prem clubs' academies (or not-retained after first post-academy contract) or NL1.
Presumably it's too late to be signing many players from other Champ teams.

TBH, you'd get a pretty decent Champ level squad out of academy rejects - albeit green.
You'd probably expect mid-table from just that, but building year on year with good coaching.
Add in an experienced core to build around, and lead the way in training, and you hit the fast-forward button on that.

Back in my day every announcement didn't have a stupid graphic designed by someone who way overestimates their cleverness.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

36 by nickname, 36 by age.

Fair bit of noise about him out there.

He's retired

 

[Ddanno]

He's retired

I think I read somewhere else that Fissler was putting the rumour around that he'd come out of retirement.

Absolutely rancid bait.
