| What do you think of the play offs this season and as players how to best deal with it? | More of a challenge, bigger squads will have an advantage | Make sure you rotate the squad so as not to pick up too many injuries towards the end of the season like Bristol did.

| What is the most unusual pre game superstition you have or have witnessed? | I put everything on left then right, including putting left leg into my shorts first. | ||||
| What song would you chose to be played after you scored a try or kicked points during a game? | Something hard and gangstery | Thunderstruck – AC/DC or anything by AC/DC | Nepalise National Anthem (With a huge grin on his face!) | Can't touch this – MC Hammer | |
| Which law/rule change would improve the game | Contact area to be made more clear and consistent | Nothing – but being on the floor specialist it would be good for refs to give it a good fair contest | Consistency with the refs | ||

| What comes after the rugby career is over? | |||||
| What made you decide to come to Warriors and what do you expect to achieve whilst here? | Would have preferred to have stayed at Bristol but it's a good young ambitious squad which good prospects with a good set up. | ||||
| What's the best piece of advice you've ever received or given | From Andrew Stanley "Only be concerned with the things you can control" | Play your normal game and not to let the occasion get the better of you | |||
| Which is the worst kit you have ever had to wear ? | All shirts have been nice design. Hates wearing shirts that don't fit properly | ||||

Would be great to know what its all about.
Sets himself a very low standard and has great difficulty in maintaining it!

Assume that is Ed Shervington (the new Hooker and prankster), Jake Abbot, Oriel Ripol, Louis Silver and Tom Arscott?
I thought the questions were only being put to the new boys so assume the next edition will include some of the other arrivals?
How did Jake and Louis get in on the act?
Good stuff

We thought we only get the new boys too but ended up with pretty much trying to get as many players interviewed as possible.. We have 17 all together...The rest of the interviews will be published 4 at a time with 2 new boys and 2 old lags!!
Some we had to ask but some just came over and asked what we were doing and just started answering the questions.. it was great!
Dare I say a that at one point I was a bit over faced!!!
And no I didn't interview Kai! Silverwarrior and DnT did

Pilot if you look at the link this will explain.

We decided to try and do this so we had articles to keep the board up and running as we don't seem to have anyone who wants to contribute to keeping this board alive.

Give him a break Drifter.. he had little choice about leaving Bristol and he demonstrates admirable loyalty which seems to be very important to some.. I doubt that his commitment to The Warriors will be any less that it was to Brizz

' would have prefered to stay at Bristol'
That struck me as a decent slice of honesty. Frankly, if we only want people who want to play for worcester for worcester's sake, forsaking all other teams and whatever offer they make....we will find our way back down the divisions fairly promptly
Dare we hope? We dare.
Can we hope? We can.
Should we hope? We must.

SilverWarrior is a bit worried that Tom’s comments, as she reported them, have come across not as they were intended. When things are written you lose the way they were said and Tom was very much in a playful mood that day and he was being light-hearted when he made the comment. We tried very hard to be true to what the guys said and it was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and we are very grateful for the time we were allowed with the players. If we have in some way misinterpreted what a player meant that is entirely our fault. We are not journalists and not professionals, just amateurs trying to create better communication between the squad and the support.

Well, the lad obviously loved Bristol, and enjoyed his time there, but their well publicised situation made that unviable for a young and aspiring talent such as him to continue his career.
'owt wrong with that.

I'm sure the rest of the squad can manage without Tom when playing Brizz (just in case he still has divided loyalty by then!)
I understand your points. This is why so many posters seem to upset other posters as it never comes across as intended.
