As long as Worrincey goes and it doesn't inhibit us making other signings then I can live with it, but he'll have more to prove to us than any other signing so far.

Although Sibbit is hardly a player that's going to sell tickets or anything, I think it's fair to give him a chance first to see what he does.

Also remember he played centre for a long time before moving to the back row (and I think he's played a bit of prop too), so he does provide cover for more than one position. If he's coming in as cover, rather than first choice, which I suspect he is, it might not be quite as bad a signing as everyone's first reaction will suggest.

I'm at a loss to explain any new contract for Worrincy though. Sorry, he's had his chance to impress and failed miserably.

One of our biggest problems has been a lack of squad depth. When players got injured, we had nobody who could in to replace them except for going straight to the academy who weren't necessarily ready for too much game time and need time to adapt. It seems to me that Potter is trying to address that issue and make sure we have some cover that has SL experience. The way it's looking, there's only the halves that we don't seem to have much cover for now. And perhaps that's in announcements still to come.

Has Worrincy got a new contract? I know i heard a rumour of 1 year on less cash but nothing anywhere near official

Nothing's been officially announced yet, but everyone seems to have "heard" it. I've certainly been told from 3 seperate places so far and at least 2 of them were very very reliable.

I suspect it won't be announced until after pledge deadline.

Good luck with that, he'll still be here next year.

I know I've put some weight on mate, but labeling me as 2 isn't that nice!

never mind cover, we need to confirm we have some choice halves before we start worrying about cover for them!

Is there any mileage in that Bosc rumour that's floating around on the T&A forums? Think someone mentioned it somewhere on here a few weeks back too.

If so, would be a useful acquisition IMO and would help out massively in the kicking department where we are so terribly weak.

yesterdy, Martin Offiah posted a video montage about Worrincy on a certain popular video site, after posting it as a link on twitter (cue the jokes about the length of the video



)...he is an agent now isnt he?...so i am guessing he is Worrincy's agent or he is very fond of him.

i did tweet him asking if that meant Worrincy was looking for a new employer...needless to say he didnt respond.

read into that what you will.

Absolutely nothing.

As DILLIGAF has said, multiple super reliable sources (including me) have all said that he'll be in the Bulls colours next season.

Agree totally with this. Also reckon that the whole bit around centre/second row/prop can equally apply to Elima. Bulk him out a bit and I reckon he could easily be that 'enforcer' prop that we've been looking for - Elima and Lynch starting in the front row with Hargreaves and Scruton spelling sounds pretty decent to me....

in which case, that implies there is some sort of 'bromance' going on between the 2 of them and Offiah has posted it purely for his own gratification.





whatever floats your boat i guess
