Re: Next Season!
I'd like to see Mike Williams in the 2nd row, a back 5 of 4. Williams 5. Spencer 6. Kalamafoni 7. BOC 8. Denton would be pretty tasty, that said I could see them going with Kitch and Spencer with Williams on the bench covering 4/5/6Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 1:13 pmEurrghhh not the end of the world. But we could really do with another lock coming in who is class and can lift this pack. All the other places in the forwards have good players in them.

Re: Next Season!
Id always have Kitchener. Stick a lump next to him and let him concentrate on what he's good at. Thompson at 8 for me,Denton and Williams/Spence on bench.

Opinion will change when we are tearing up the opposition next year
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: Next Season!
I have always though that the first preseason match is a weird indicator of what is to come. Our first relatively poor season 2014-15 saw us at Trent Bridge playing pants with our seconds on display and the international injured wandering about. You could see the lack of coordination and motivation on display, which was a shock decline.I remember going to Melrose and wondering what was up with the team. This has been repeated over and over, regardless of coach. I have to ask will it be the same next season - I guess a visit to Cardiff might be an indicator.

Re: Next Season!
Spencer was always lauded as a good lineout jumper and caller at Worcester. With him and Kitchener both playing in the pack, the line out should run smoothly next season.

Yet our 1st preseason fixture last year vs Ospreys, our 2nd string side played really well vs their 2nd string side.jgriffin wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 6:21 pm I have always though that the first preseason match is a weird indicator of what is to come.

Re: Next Season!
Yep, it has just seemed a striking feature in general, although I haven't been to all of them.....in 2010-12 the ones I watched were more intense and focused, which is the one strand of hope I hung on to with MOC being back. I'll probably go to Cardiff, as am away supping beer in the Station Hotel Whitby when we play Irish.JP14 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 7:34 amYet our 1st preseason fixture last year vs Ospreys, our 2nd string side played really well vs their 2nd string side.jgriffin wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 6:21 pm I have always though that the first preseason match is a weird indicator of what is to come.

Re: Next Season!
Here’s the interesting question for next season, say if we are playing the bottom-placed team (my bets on Worcester) and we select Toomua and Hardwick, who plays flyhalf and who plays 12? In my opinion, Toomua would play at 10 and Hardwick at 12. But what are other people’s thoughts on this?

To'omua at 10 deffo. So much time created, the mark of the great players.JP14 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:14 pm Here’s the interesting question for next season, say if we are playing the bottom-placed team (my bets on Worcester) and we select Toomua and Hardwick, who plays flyhalf and who plays 12?

Re: Next Season!
Toomua at 10,he would be my full-time FH but let's not go there ay
Re: Next Season!
You bringing it onto yourself there, if MOC goes on form (very big if) then Toomua might start 1st game of the season at flyhalf (depends on the fitness of Owen I suppose)Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 8:45 pm Toomua at 10,he would be my full-time FH but let's not go there ay

Re: Next Season!
Not a chance MoC goes on form,if Ford's fit regardless of how he's playing he will start.
