Gwir. In the absence of Samson I'd be tempted to start with Gardiner so that we put pressure on the opposition scrum at the start, maybe earn a few penalties,and then when the game opens up bring Werner on for his superior contribution in the loose and carrying in particular. He's one of the few Scarlet forwards that have the bulk, power and low body angle to crash through anyone but the best defenders.

But Kruger offers more for over an hour when he starts, Gardiner is a 20 minute scrummager these days it seems.

Gardiner is not fit enough, and while the scrum may be ok at the start of the game we would suffer elsewhere, a risk I wouldn't want to take.

Deffo give Kruger a year or two contract unless he wants to leave. I’ve seen Sebastian come on for gardnier in a rfc game and the scrum improved.

You wouldn’t have seen Sebastian come on for Gardiner in an RFC game, he’s attached to Quins!

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

It seems there are a lot of players leaving Wasps at the end of the season.

Yeah if the rumours are true Wasps could be in the proper cach. I think Tom has a year left on his contract but you would hope if he was available we'd be having a chat. Superb player, people who don't watch the Aviva do not realise how good he is. If he was English he'd have 50 caps by now. Gopparth will be 36 before the start of next season so may be a bit long in the tooth for us. Great player though! I think Scarlets released a statement a few weeks/months ago saying retention was nearly complete. Does anyone have an inkling who is staying and who is going?

What rumours are there about Wasps - thought they were one of the better run clubs. I know there is talk about Daly & Hughes leaving for pastures new at the end of the season but thats life. Don't see why Thomas Young would want to join us to play 2nd fiddle to Cubby. Excellent player tho.

Lets all remember how high the salaries are in the Wasps.
Money problems are such that Hughes/Daley etc are leaving for a lot more money, allegedly £500K, I bet they are on £300/400k now, so compared to the Scarlets very high earners. The rest of the squad are also on high salaries (allegedly) so they have decided to start developing their own players, a business model which we started a few years ago. We can not compete with these clubs, and in all honesty regardless of how good they are we need players in other positions first.

GPR, the owners of Wasps are in dispute with a few people, including Coventry City I believe, and also they have to repay short term loans from patrons they had when they moved to Coventry.
They are not as solvent as many think, but aren't we all !!!!
