Any idea when Tom Biggs is out of contract? Really rate him and would love to see him down Parc y Scarlets after a decent haircut.

100% agree if people like you are struggling to see the point of investing more how the hell are we going to attract the much needed new supporters. I have to justify to the wife the point of travelling nearly 50 miles round trip and the price of season ticket next year and with the kids devastated because of George going then that makes it really hard. But then again George hasn't gone yet has he ? |

Yeah I agree, it isn't doom and gloom for sure, but it doesn't stop me feeling well and truly fed up as a supporter, this season has been a testing time with a number of instances, and this latest one has just tipped the jar over with issues that have been slowly building (and not being addressed) for some time now. I fear the repercussion of the North departure, this headline with the WRU isn't finished, and with our most potent young gun on the park leaving for pastures new at the ripe age of 20, I no longer hold any hope of being able to secure the services of our other young guns when contracts come for renewal (or before). The tide has well and truly turned from IF they go to WHEN, and that is a hard pill to swallow, it doesn't fill you with confidence, and when you lose confidence in your region and Welsh rugby, you do ask why you bother and spend your hard earned money supporting something that doesn't seem to have any firm foundations going forward. We're all struggling for money during these tough times, the supporters are no different to anyone else, not even the region, and with the region having to take measures, so do the supporters, it works both ways. I have supported the Scarlets for nearly 30 years, and will continue to do so going forward, but this latest pill to swallow is a real sour one and doesn't make one self feel very good! |

Easterby was defence coach under Nigel. Not forwards coach.

Difference is that we didn't "sign" George as a marquee player. Had we signed Habana then it would have been the same as Lomu but we already had our own Habana but because he was ours, we didn't consider him as such. As the saying goes - you don't know what you've got until you lose it. Edited by Abbey - 05 April 2013 at 8:52am |

Jedward not being offered a new contract is a good indication that we are looking to recruit an openside, frankly he has been poor this year. Dale Ford has been very unlucky with injuries, feel sorry for him as he could have been a decent player for us. oh well another wing down, only Phillips who is the worst of them left.

He was given a development contract for 2-years in 2011. Shame if true , he needs another season at RFC to find his pre-injury form. Perhaps he'll be given something there.

Before two major injuries Dale was an outstanding prospect as a wing or full back who also had the ability to kick long range penalties. If this is true I'm very disappointed. He will be snapped up by the Dragons and like some of our other "rejects" he will come back to bite us.
Unfortunately Jedward has been very disappointing this season and this news isn't a shock.
The only positive that I can take from this news is that we must be signing new back 3 players and 7s (unless Easterby continues with his failed plan of playing 3 6s).

I can understand for Jedward but I thought Ford was a good prospect and one to keep an eye on, am I mistaken? |

At loosehead we've got Rhodri Jones, Phil John, Shaun Hopkins, Rob Evans and Gareth Thomas and other youngsters on the horizon. It's not one of the positions that we are desparate to strengthen. Let's concentrate on getting a tough, balanced, competitive backrow and a wing to replace George. I'm sure one of Dale Ford, Jordan Williams, Kyle Evans, Kristian Phillips, Adam or Aaron Warren or even Scott Williams at a push could fill the other wing slot.
