Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

And then Goode on Armitage! Jesus.

Joseph didnt draw the man at all and gave the ball too early, but didnt matter as Goode then decided not to tackle Armitage.

Goode had a stinker, Tagicakibau embarrassed him and Strettle a couple of times with hand offs.

There are a lot of players who have switched off for the season. Glos on saturday being the prime example.

Never seen a side want to play for the boss less in my life.

Kingsholm was booing the side and they really did not care.

Irish v Glos will be a cracker last game of the season! worst two form sides in the league. probably two of the best back lines though.

If Brush is gone i can see us playing well. If he stays then no. Never seen players leaving the pitch giving the coach abuse before. a real low point for us. The players need to take some responsibility also.

We would be best to get rid of him today and have an interim coach.

Booth seems to have lost the dressing room at Irish.
sooner he and catt go the better as far as im concerned.

Who's your new FH then Nick?

Poolys idea of Gary Gold to gloucester is the one i like but cant see it happening.

EFS off to Japan and Tindall off gives us a fair bit of cash to play with

Agree with nick, Booth needs to go.

Been a good coach but not cut it as the head man.

wait and see Pooly!
should be announced today.
no-one to get too excited about but similar kind of player to Bowden.

Not Stephen Brett is it?

What's happened to Stephen Brett, have the Blues got rid of him?

see that Delon has just confirmed he will be joining Toulon - was that always expected Pete/Nick?

not Brett no!

Yeh that was 'confirmed' a while ago Chris.

He went to Japan Pete

Gutted that Delon is going, but it was always the likely outcome with him. Showed at the weekend that when on form he is a great attacking player.

is that 4 London Irish players at Toulon now? Must be like a second club for you both now!

Not a fan of Toulon to be honest. They represent some of what is wrong with the game right now for me. There solution to everything is to throw cash at it, as opposed to building solid foundations for success as Exeter Chiefs appear to be doing.

think all French clubs do! i never knew just how much someone could make from selling comic books!

it's odd at Toulon though as they just don't seem to even try and bring through their own youth players - with the new rules in French rugby coming in it makes you wonder how they are going to deal with it all

By buying players like the Armitages who count in their French quota having played junior rugby in France.

wow - talk about getting around the rules! lovely part of the world to play rugby though.

I don't know why but I've got a feeling it may either be Robinson or Gopperth going to Irish.........probably wrong mind!!

you are wrong Prop.

Why is it every new Sarries signing says there is something 'special' happening at Saracens. Do they do it for a joke?!

Gopperth signed a 3 year deal with Falcons this year and Robinson has a year to run on his Wasps contract. We don't have the finances to buy people out of contracts and neither fits the criteria that Brian Smith has stated for new players.

Oh well, worth a guess!! They coming from outside av then I guess..... :o have you hijacked Dan Parks' move to Connacht

Desperate Dan definitely doesn't fit the profile either. (Thank feic!!!)

Aw but he'd bring the 'entertainment' for the opposing fans anyway!!

Your probably not going to have to worry about Robinson needing to be bought out of his contract Pete - have a worrying feeling that Wasps might struggle to find a buyer in time...

Our owner is such a Muppet - ruined the club.

Trust me, it's not Robinson

I think Wasps will be ok, someone will come in for them. There main issue is going to be staying up this season.

trouble is they are over valuing a club that is losing £2million and year and has zero assets apart from its players, who are all on 1-2 year contracts so very little value.

it's Dan Carter isnt it.

It's Chris Malone.
The Prodigal Son is returning.

You're a bad man stnick

i hope that it's Andy Goode - he'd absolutely kick start your backline, could probably play him on the wing too.

Anybody think they will be way below the 40 man limt come june 1st or whenever it has to be changed.

definitely not

I'm currently on 38 with 2 guys who could be dispensed on releases without me losing too much.

Good players will have to be released by some sides. Could be cheap talent availible.

I'm at about 45

im gonna have to release couple of decent players like stowers

Think i'm going to hit 40.

So far I'm releasing Ceri Jones, Croall, Ongaro, Halavatau, Burgess, Mulchrone and Steenson for certain.

I am
Going to have to release players of the quality of carraro who is a seriously good player.

Shows we have too many when I can't play a player
Like that ever

my most high profile release may have to be tiesi
never plays for me

I'm below the limit - still got Tuilagi, Gill and Benvenutti in my senior squad who can slip into my academy!

I am similar chris. Marler, Morahan, Joseph, Gibson, Hooper, Gaskell, Kruis, Burns, Clegg, Lowe and Jones all can be in my academy next season I think.

You've had the same approach as me - how many of those were with you originally - Marler, Clegg and Lowe?

I'm going to be giving players like Wade, Launchbury more game time next season I think - just having to decide who to take a punt on Sam Harrison or Charlie Davies at no9.

Have kept Marler and Lowe all along. Clegg was with Newcastle to start with on this game and has done the rounds with a few clubs.

im never sure about Clegg, sometimes he looks good but saw him play recently where he kicked the ball out three times directly from a kick off.

who do you rate as your best youngster?

I've got about 5 players I really like a few months above, so tough.

i dont rate clegg at all
pretty poor goal kicker and doesnt seem to have much about him in open play.
miles behind farrell and ford for me.

My best youngster?

Tough between Gibson, Marler, Hooper and Joseph. Although I think Chisholm and Kruis could become topclass.
