Would be surprised if Lawrence left Worcester now Diamond is there
I thought that would be a good reason to leave ! :smt026 :smt027
He seems a marmite bloke. His players either love him or leave the club.
In some ways so is Borthwick, there's a lot of players who've moved on in the last couple of years since his arrival, yet many others who hwve flourished.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

The ones that have moved on are either ones who Steve didn’t rate or ones who didn’t want to help the club through difficult Financial Times.

Having seen the Team vs Falcons I must say that Browning not being in the 23 suggests he's all but out of the running for being retained?

Two thoughts on Mike Brown joining us:

Thought #1: No
Thought #2: Hell, NO

From what I've seen watching him for Nottingham, he's not there yet.

Browning is suspended for 3 weeks for a shoulder charge according to the RFU Championship Twitter. (Reduced to 2 if he completes the WR course).

https://twitter.com/champrugby/status/1 ... 10241?s=21

He is unavailable for this game vs Newcastle, the Premiership game vs Chiefs, and (assuming the WR course is not completed) Nottingham’s game vs Doncaster on the 1st April. Free to play again in time for the London Irish game I believe.

Neither had I TFS!! Browning was only given a yellow in the match so I think it went under the radar!

I’ve seen something posted on Facebook (admittedly taken from Ruck…) that we have signed Phil Cokanasiga from London Irish…

Would be a handy signing - though not sure where he would fit in being a centre…?!?

Moroni and or Taute replacement?

He’s primarily a 12, so it’ll be interesting to see how he and Kelly fit into the centres…

Hopefully more likely Taute and Socino replacement - would really like Moroni to be retained!
