We Need to talk about Worcester

[EdBirch]

I get the feeling immediate promotion is not what we are looking for at all but to grow a sustainable club and then go for promotion. No point trying to get back in Prem at first attempt, bankrupt ourselves and wind up ruined again. The new ownership seem a lot more level headed and measured.

The tactic will depend on what happens to the premiership. As if they accept teams in but don't relegate them, Worcester could get promoted, then do a Newcastle and spend nothing on the team for a bit while taking the extra funding etc and then build up slowly. That may yield better results than staying in the championship for a longer period.

But lots of ifs and buts there.

Good player. Shame Falcons didn't make the best of him

Team ATM looking like
1. Keast, Natave, Smyth
2. Biggs, Vanes
3. Balmain, Hoyt
4. Joussain, Tyas
5. Nkwocha
6. Anstee
7. Ndimande, Al-Kareem

I feel Ealing will still beat them but Worcester should be disappointed if they don't get top 2

 

[BPM]

According to their 'Guess Who?' piece, there are still 5 players to be announced.

Not a bad squad given they needed to build from scratch but Ealing's is still a good bit better IMO.

Is Twelvetress actually going to play?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is Twelvetress actually going to play?

He's down as a player coach and I don't really see any other 12's yet

36 years old atm so not quite hit Mike Bown or Gopperth level
