Andy Goode & Matt Mullan to Wasps

Our food bill is going up then...

That said, he's a proven match winner and Mullan is a very good prop.

Mullan is a crackin signing for you guys..

Worcester are losing some players mind...i wouldnt be happy i was a Wuss fan.

Tim Payne out - Matt Mullan in. Should offer improvements on the pitch and reduced food bill (enough to compensate for Goode's habits?)

To be fair between them they probably don't eat as much as Billy V does, the gannette!!

Who will play stand off for Wasps besides Goode next year?

Rate Matt Mullen and hope he can kick on, would have been more than happy for him to sign for Saints if the Corbiserio deal hadn't happened. Not the biggest Goode fan - not because I don't think he can do a job, he's a solid enough if a little limited kicking 10 but he seems to have a chip on his ample sized shoulder at times and can loose the plot. Expect more in a player with his experience.

Joe Carlisle (also currently at Worcester) and Tommy Bell who shared 10 duties for England U20s last year with the world and his wife.

Saints are losing three props for next season. Will need some more beef up front.

You signed an Aussie

Julia Gillard?

Nah - she's Welsh

Not too worried about Mullan leaving,he hasn't pushed on from the promise he showed a few years ago, hence dropping down the England pecking order.

Goode could be a blessing in disguise for Wuss,he has dominated our play,to the level that I feel he hasn't really allowed the rest to shine.

Kvesic is a much more galling loss.

Pretty happy with the Goode signing, very happy with the Mullan signing (just hope it's not at the expense of Zak Taulafo) but a bit miffed about the arrival of Joe Carlisle. Second row Kearnan Myall from Sale and young scrum half Jack Moates are our other recruits so far, shaping up fairly well.

Been impressed with Dai's recruitment thus far started with Hugo Southwell his first year and continued with the likes of Andrea Masi, Ashley Johnson and Phil Swainston last summer who have all impressed.

Replacing Billy Vunipola and possibly Jonathan Poff are going to be huge challenges.
