Spencer again looking good in a losing Worcester outfit. Him and Barrow would make some heavy unit partnership.

He looked shattered at 57min when he went off but he'd put a lot of work in. Be a good addition - like to see him with Wells or Barrow.

Did not impress me at all, would add depth but will not improve on Leicester's quality in my opinion!
I'd add, nine tackles completed and two missed, ten runs for nine metres, and looked shattered!

BT Sport mentioned it was rumoured that Spencer was in talks in Leicester for next season but the also stated that Worcester were keen to keep him

Maybe he wanted to come off as soon as possible to shut up David Flats 😂😂

Has anybody heard anything about the rumour rugbyinside line had posted about barrow trying to get out of his contract due a squad disagreement at the club. Or is this just a saints biased site trying to stir?

Be extremely odd if true. He was named captain before he was withdrawn because of his neck injury. Here’s hoping it’s a load of rubbish.

If it is true I wonder what the disagreement is I wonder weather it’s the seeming policy against playing youth. It would be a real shame to lose a young 2nd row with promise to keep 2 senior ones who’s given a lengthy run of games have failed to impress.

I think there is infighting stemming back to allegedly when the southern hemisphere players did for Cockers. Was Mauger out and MOC in the "senior" players getting their own back?

Heard the same.
Although heard it isn’t to do with coaches or back office stuff.

You know he has been played when fit, but he hasn’t been fit.

Fine if Mr Penalty Magnet wants to go then let him! I like Barrow but wouldn’t lose any sleep if he left, never fulfilled the levels we all thought he could get to.

Saying that it’s up the coach to create the right atmosphere so I guess it is also the coaches fault.

Apparently Barrow was involved in a punch up in training. Not sure who the other players involved are. Sounds like he's definitely leaving.
