Worcester Warriors

A lot of the blame for always being in the bottom 2 seems to escape Carl Hogg, he's worked under DR, he was dor himself for a while, then worked under GG and now AS. I personally hope solmans mixes the coaching staff up abit, would be good to refresh the current lot and give solomams a chance to bring people in he likes. And IMO Carl Hogg hasn't done a good job, and I think we need to be a bit more ruthless, how many chances can he get?

I think that assessment is harsh. I think we must keep site of how competitive the AP is. Every effort to retain continuity is key to warriors building up a run of momentum and consistency. IMO Solomon’s was chosen for his ability to work with the core coaching team in place. So in summary, understand your arguments fully but politely and wholeheartedly disagree. Hogg and Vesty are the future of warriors.

He wasn’t a great success at Gloucester either and would probably have been moved on if he hadn’t come here.

The negativity towards the coaching staff is not helpful. Warriors play and exciting brand of rugby and have a young coaching team that are learning all the time.

I’ll ask you all just this. Who would you replace them with?

Not sure he's the future but don't agree that he's been the main issue either. Don't forget that when Carl has had a decent squad to choose from we've played some very good rugby.

Granted he isn't a DOR yet but he was thrust into that role far too early.

Like pointed out above, was a great success at Gloucester. Our forwards haven't been great in the set piece lately. I think we need a new head coach/forwards coach. Vesty had a very promising future and is doing great things with the backs. Asking who I would have is a stupid question. It wouldn't be my decision so it's irrelevant. But in terms of the personality And style I'd like to see, someone like Sanderson or Ackerman.

In these discussions there’s always a point missing.

We have serious recruitment difficulties with both players and coaches, it’s all,very well to say we need a world class DoR, Head Coach, 10, or whatever, but the best people , generally, just won’t come.......at any price.

Realism is needed.

I was not keen on Solomons when he arrived, but must recognise a definite step up in performance, overall, since then.

If Hoggie and Sam V are refreshed and reenergised under Solomons, then all should be left in place.

Asking who you would have is not a stupid question. Keeping them or replacing them wouldn’t be my decision either. However I would stick with them and see how they go for a period of time under Solomon’s stable leadership.

Debate is a key and important part of this forum and all opinions are valid and welcome, however when they’re questioned see the question as an opportunity to grow and diversify your point rather than a personal affront.

Hogg’s contract is up in the Summer.

Solomans will have been asked to work with existing resource until then I expect.

I seem to remember Richard Blaze is at a loose end...

Joined the England U20’s setup a few weeks back.

I believe that C Hogg is available in the summer so sign him on. Oh forgot he is already here extend then continuity is key. I personally don't think he has had a bed spell less the temporary run as director.

What exactly does a head coach do, there are directors of rugby, forwards coach, back, attack coach, defence coach, kit men ball boys and medical staff easy to pick on one when their seems to be a team effort with regards to non playing staff as well.

having said that we are getting very South African orientated all we need is EG back

WW, I’m pretty sure that is now a total deal duck.
