Existing Squad

[andyj]

We have our final home game at the end of this month and I, for one, would really like to know which of the players in the squad on that day are actually remaining with the club. Is that going to be possible?
I have asked in previous seasons about player retention and had my fingers rapped as the club said that it is not up to them to announce where players have gone. Fair comment but my request was borne out of interest and passion for our club.

We confirm player retention as soon as contracts are completed. While negotiations may be ongoing we are unable to provide information.

I make 16 players contracted so far, including Chris Brightwell, Jacque la roux, Aaron croft, Tim molenar, Mark Harrison, Mike Penn, Gregg King

Under the 2017/18 page we have 15 players. Whose the 16th.

15 it is (so far)

[boris]

Yes my bad, plus the two today 17.
We're getting there, I'd like to see a few more of our existing players sign up.

[kingsheathlad]

Yeh we need some more in the front five.

[boris]

It would be nice to know who is staying or going as it is our last game of the season so we as supporters could wish them well on there journey or celebrate them staying.
No news on Ed, Drew, Harry etc etc,
I've heard rumours that Tom fiddler might be staying but jelly is leaving and overheard James Williams is of to Hartpury next year, nothing confirmed though!!
Be good to Finnish on a win and it should be a good game of rugby with really not a lot to play for other than pride and win for Maggsy especially. Good luck boys.

[grooveavenue]

Ah! boris patience is the order of the day. If No signatures on paper for incoming (if any) would make it all fake news!

Maybe players leaving would be pleased to tell you so - if you ask.

Someone once said here that it is really up to Clubs who are signing BMRFC players to make announcements - BMRFC may not know the detail of any players contracts with other Clubs so how can BMRFC comment.

[andyj]

Whilst we wait for news of possibly more players re-signing and/or new players joining I was wondering how many players should we require for next season? Is a squad of 30 too many and could we afford this number? Any news on any dual registered scheme?

[northwestnomad]

Would think that the tie-up with Worcester re - coaching would extend to playing resources as well. The Head Coach will already have an insight as to which loanees would enhance the team; unusually, he will know no less about those Moseley players remaining or those that are new to the club.

I believe we will get significantly more mileage out of next season's loan system having a coach with a foot in both camps. It should provide for greater continuity with youngsters getting a run of games rather than appearing once and disappearing off to other clubs. but as with most things, time will tell.

Additionally, the new H.C's defensive pedigree should be welcomed - " you can't fire a canon from a canoe!"

Not sure if we will see many young Warriors at Billesley Common due to the increase in A league games next season.

[kingsheathlad]

As we have a Worcester coach we must be getting some from there.

Not sure what your question is. He is a new signing under the 2017/18 section.

Yes we announced Jonah's signing on 24th March at the same time as Ciaran Moore . The announcement is on the home page news and he appears in the 2017/18 Player profiles
