Chris Cook- one great game, two poor. If nothing else he’s consistent.

Just wonder if Cook played better because he wasn't kicking so much. Under instruction?

I always thought Cook's strength was his kicking. I'd prefer we kick less but can't fault his kicking.
What concerns me is his speed of delivery (especially as the game wears on) and his tendency to 'direct' rather than play what's in front of him.
I think his starts ahead of Kahn has been justified in the most part.

Cook has improved substantially under Blackadder. But jeez that dumbass yellow card last week was infuriating.

Agreed. Best on form.
Brain fart factor significantly reduced, but should be zero.
Quote:DanWiley
I'm not sure that's true either. I can think of plenty of players that can do the brilliance without the brain farts. Obviously there are players that don't make so many mistakes and don't do that much brilliant either. Then there's those like Chris.
That said, as CC and OD are two that I recall being discussed as having brain farts, I don't really recall them doing that much that was completely brilliant? I mean in the way that Watson did this weekend. They have moments when I think "that was nicely done".

Much as I loved watching Watson score, I'm not sure that it was 'brilliant' - in fact he said that his team-mates have been ribbing him because it was 'under 11's rugby' (i.e. give it to the fast kid and let him run sideways around everyone). He is some athlete, for sure. if you get the chance to watch the highlights, take a look at how Josua Tuisova just gives up and almost walks when Watson is running across - he is the total opposite of Aled Brew who chased everything.

Hope we hang on to Levi Douglas especially. Made himself known to Toulon's massive pack when he came on which takes some doing. Really strong in the tackle.

Sounds like Tapuai has signed a new deal, hints in the picture of him on Priestland's instagram.
Quote:Dammit - I'd heard that we were sniffing around for him. No idea how realistic it ever was, but would have been a good signing.Pie-Half
Neither is a rumour, but
I would love to sign Chris Pennell. Think he is class still. If but for injury and a more attacking Eng coach / 'trendy' club he would have had a good handful of caps. Still rate him.
Scotland-Williamson has left Worc, and going to the NFL. Odd move.[www.telegraph.co.uk]
Understand why he would want to go, but not sure anyone will take him. Wish him all the best.

I don’t think it would be a good fit at all, we’ve already got a strong set of scrum halves, and even if we were looking at getting another one, surely you’d want someone who could box kick seeing how much our game revolves around it.

Following our game against Wuss on Friday, sounds as though there is a good chance Jackson Willison will be arriving in Farleigh the following week.
Quote:Big Dog
Jackson Willison for me is a 12 as well more than a 13. When he defends at 13 I think he is a bit of a liability from set pieces but is a very dependable option at 12 in terms of attack and defence. Hope he's not a big money signing and more of a squad player though really as was hoping for a little bit more excitement than that given we are reported to be losing Banners and potentially Taps?
Quote:B4thB4ck
So we could have 2 Wilsons, a Watson and now a Willison on the pitch. This is not going to help BBC's radio commentary team!

Wasn't the latest on Taps that he is staying? Or did I hallucinate this after too much festive cheese?

Priestland hinted on his instagram story that Tapuai had signed a new deal with us.
Quote:Worcester Way
Wuss fan in peace. The noises coming out of warriors from people who work at the club is that not only is Jackson Willison staying for the season, but he has indeed signed up for next term. Whether this is posturing I don’t know but they’re not usually wrong. Interesting to see what happens.
