Re: Next Season!
Heard they are hoping more October, but when it comes to injuries so many variables.

Plus the highly-rated Gaston Cortes and a fit and firing Owen Hills if need be.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 9:07 pm Genge can be seen in a leg brace in the preseason videos and looks like he might be out to Xmas with will be a blow.

Re: Next Season!
Owen Hills - you must be joking . A promising youngster yes , but a Premiership standard loosehead prop - nowhere near that level .

Re: Next Season!
Apparently the rumoured prop signing can play both sides also. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Re: Next Season!
I know it was strongly suggested as being David Feao, but has anyone thought about Ben Alexander? Coming out of contract with the Brumbies I believe, can play both sides too. 33 now, so perhaps not going to expect to be a starter.

Re: Next Season!
Not a bad shout that!
Re: Next Season!
Where do you get till Xmas from. Has it even been said he will miss the start of the season. Yes he’s in a brace but those pictures in his electric cart showed a small wound site just below his knee cap suggesting key hole surgery.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 9:07 pm Genge can be seen in a leg brace in the preseason videos and looks like he might be out to Xmas with will be a blow.

Re: Next Season!
Let's hope Genge recovers earlier than forecast, still worried about the pack and a couple of the new signings.
Both Spencer and Denton played for Bath and were moved on as Bath didn't think they good enough, not a great recommendation as Baths pack has been poor for a couple of years.
I'm more worried about Denton as after watching him play for Scotland over the summer he never made good yards and seemed be on the edge of rucks and mauls and didn't really get involved.
Spencer's an unknown but still not convinced he is in the same league as Launchbury, Atwood, Kruis, Itoje and Lawes.
Time will tell.

Re: Next Season!
Denton was hugely physical for Worcester last season
Re: Next Season!
There is a massive difference between being hugely physical and making good yards.
For a man of his size he is stopped in the tackle far to easily.
