Only one position worries me, the rest looks great.
Good luck, lads, lets have another win... :-)

the no 8 is a big miss-he has worked v hard, tackled well and carried the ball well. we look short of bodies to fill in the second n back row. lets hope for adry day an da firm pitch.
By the number 8 tonker you mean Ed Milne, but unfortunately even in training these things happen.
Jake Farnworth covered back row last week, Sam can cover 2nd row as well having played there.

I think we would all agree that it would be preferable to have a recognised Back rower or 2nd row on the bench.
Hows Gareth Turner getting on and is Danny Wright regaining fitness yet? Does anyone know?

Just noticed there is no mention of Dom LP on the official website within the squad list.
Perhaps someone, who knows someone, can pass a message on to get our top try scorer added to the squad list please!? :-)

We have to remember this squad has done really well. nearly every position has been covered all season and the personnel who have covered these positions have kept cov on this winning run this squad believe in them selves it about time we give all the replacements the support they deserve. com on cov 16

The squad list is the document Tom published at the start of the season.
People have been trying since the following week to get it updated with corrections, updates, player photos, player profiles. Etc. Etc.
Unfortunately, as far as I can fi d out it seems that the way the club set up the website with their outside supplier, this was classified as static information, and so there is (organisationally, / commercially not technically) no way to get it updated.
Ridiculous - yes. Likely to get fixed this season - no. Want to get it sorted - ask the board members who brought us Zar-X and the no-score board last season, and see if they can get it right next season.
Rant over.

Very happy Jacques is back too Fordy.
Our best try-scorer last season by a country mile (work it out by tries per minute played if you doubt it) was always going to be tough to replace. Ed's done exceptionally well, and I've been extremely impressed by his all-action style in the games I've seen, but to have Jacques fit and available as a replacement just goes to show how much strength in depth we now have in the back row.
Best of luck tomorrow all.

Will we ever get a full squad photo nick or do u think its to late now or has anyone at the club asked you to try again to get them together
Once we failed to get one in September we are unlikely to get one until March/April as the squad won't be training together in daylight until then.

I have done an updated squad list which just needs clarification about certain players,once that is sorted out it can go onto website in news section .
It is indeed great to have such depth in the squad, carrying a lot of injuries but not feeling worried at all!
Team looks fine to me.Quietly confident.
Strange to have a team with only JLR not to have played in a winning Cov side this season.
Good luck boys....onwards and upwards.

Now we will see how the players handle it,shortage in the back row players out of position and up against a team full of confidence after beating Ealing.We have been lucky with injuries to the backs so far but now with Dom out injured and Cliffie not available with visa problems we look a bit light especialy as J.O.seems to be banished to Broadstreet.Good luck on Saturday Cov.
Kimbo-
I wasnt referring to the team, I know he's Injured. This is the 'squad' list from the website!
Dom is a fully signed player from the start of the season and should really be on there, don't you think? Where have you been?

Cheers nick... I get the feeling there's some frustration there from you!? ;-)
Crazy situation to be in, that a simple list can't be updated though..

Odd that Nige. I thought this thread was about the selection for Saturday? Silly me.
Absolutely .... Silly you.
You suggesting I should start a whole new thread just to try to highlight that the squad list is out of date!? ..
Anyway, enough for now, I'm off to find your marbles.. ;-)

Absolutely you should, that way it might get noticed. Tucked away in here its just an off topic posting in transient thread about this week's selections.
Ok.. Fair point, but I wasn't making a big deal about it, it was just something I noticed in assing when I was looking at what back row players we have, whilst wondering if they are fit.
You know me, I don't wanna be negative! ;-)
Toms seen it now anyway, so all is good.
And back to the thread...
Good luck for today, another game for the people of coventry to look forward to. And for those less fussy about who they go to watch, I'm sure it will be a great day for rugby fans in the city in general, with today's 'double header'! I find it fascinating how the waspies game will have an affect on our attendance today, hopefully in a positive way. :-)
