Just seen a photo on Marco Mama's twitter with Duncan Weir in warriors training kit? New 10?
Interesting that the tweet has now been deleted! I have a screenshot of the tweet though? Not sure how I post that on here though?

Luke Baldwin has a pic with him too. Wonder if that means Heathcote is retiring? He was due for a final assessment answer around now wasn’t he for his concussion
He is out of contract in May according to Edinburgh rugby’s website and with Solomons connections it has more than a chance of being true
Bresler and Weir. What’s the betting Sam Hidalgo Clyne and Cornell Du Preez will be the next ones? All good players too and will add to the quality of next years squad.
I would love to see Sam Hidalgo Clyne run out for warriors.
Doesn't get enough game time at Edinburgh.

Obviously one bad game doesn't define a player but Du Preez was poor against Wales,I'd expect Denton to play but I'm not holding my breath.Hopefully in the matchday 23 @ least.

I watched that game and Du Preez closely...I say closely I think he only touched the ball twice and didn’t carry once,but he’s meant to be a top top player and everyone has a bad game like you say here and there so he definitely shouldn’t be judged on the back of that. It could have possibly been the Scottish game plan.
If we signed him and played him at 6 and Dents 8 then we have 2 huge ball carriers in the back row. As for Hidalgo Clyne he’s absolutely electric..Cockers mustn’t like him much,but he would be outstanding back up for Francois and he’s a high percentage goal kicker too

I’ve heard Arr is going mate. Hasn’t been offered a new contract. How true that is I’m not sure? Just heard rumblings another player Solly has coached at Edinburgh could be on his way from Glaws...Matt Scott. A really good player before his injury and meant to be coming back to form
Gosh we really are becoming Scottish Warriors if this were all true. Now, where's that SRU money?!?!
I'll get my kilt...

IMHO Matt Scott is a fantastic centre from the Glaws games I've seen on TV.Can't remember if he played against us when we got hammered @ Castle Grim last January when I was there.

I can see it being a lot of Scottish and SA players coming in
Would be gutted ir Arr left. We can bang on about player loyalty but when they are involved in a club their whole life and then just releases it's no surprise.
Weir would be a good signing.

But....
No evidence he is leaving apart from what AJ has said.How reliable his info is is anyone's guess! ;-)
Think Jonny has struggled with significant injuries in recent seasons. He has his detractors, but he has been one of a few 'one club' Pro's we've had. His game may not be the current vogue style, but he can play.
He may be looking to move on to pursue outside interests with his Degree and all that. Would continue to be a great Ambassador for the club if such roles exist at the club.
All rumour, but potential Celtic bias is in the offing to even out the Saffers.
AS, suggesting that recruitment news is nearly ready to reveals in WEN
[www.worcesternews.co.uk]
Hope it is, but i suspect soon will be post Irish game at earliest, as it is the most pivotal aspect to the remainder of the season, at this stage unless either Irish or ourselevs get an unexpected victory in the run in.

To be fair AJ has a good track record. Although you don’t need to be a genius to work out that Arr must be approaching the end,
I understand Arr has another year left on his contract but it would not suprise me if he retires following a couple of bad knocks on his head (just my personal opinion based on no inside knowledge).
Back to Duncan Weir ....
Initial short-term signing until end of season ?
Initial short-term signing until end of season ?
A short term contract to the end of the season followed by a 3year contract if we stay up.
However he is not fit, still recovering from a bad abdominal injury, so, will he be Match fit for Irish?

According to this Not happening
That falls in line with what I feel about his availability and fitness. It won’t matter after 25th Feb.

Why would he be training at Sixways if he wasn't fit? Last Monday on twitter he said he was back in training with Edinburgh.
Now confirmed on Twitter - sort of
"Warriors can confirm that Scotland international Duncan Weir has travelled to Sixways ahead of a proposed short-term loan starting next week."

understand that he has signed until the end of this season
Good Signing IMO
not sure where the rumor about Matt Scott cam from but if true that would be excellent
Always misunderstood

I hear rumours that there is a name change for the club- Worcester Wildebeests.

I wonder if Rory Duncan has a relegation clause?
Possible back line v Irish.
15. Pennell
14. Heem
13. Te’o
12. Mills
11. Adams
10. Weir
09. Hougaard
That is some back line!
However the 6Nations may cause us a problem, swap Te’o with Willison and Hammond with Adams if Humphries is not fit.
Still at sometime this season we will see that backline playing together.

JP , it’s a 6N weekend, surely Josh will be with Wales, and BT with England??
Yep that is why I put the swaps in and as I also said we will at some stage see that backline

I bet Luke Baldwin wasn't popular with the PR department yesterday!!!
He has confirmed in a tweet he is joining us until the end of the season. Welcome aboard Duncan!
Shilly did ok on Saturday against Exeter.

Absolutely, and how long have we been saying he needs the game time to establish himself as our first 10.
I’m happy to see Duncan arrive, but not to jump straight in at 10.
Great it is all offical Weir is a very good 10 and as I understand it if he proves fitness and form and we stay up he will extend the deal for a couple of seasons.

Shillcock rated 5 in TRP.
7 in the Worcester News which was the joint lowest score (along with 7 others). I don't see the issue in Shillcock and Weir both fighting out for the starting place, at the moment we have 2 inexperienced options at 10 and Heathcote who is sadly injured so Weir is in to replace Tom until the end of the season, possibly longer.
