that sounds familiar!!! those people never come forward. They will more than likely have fresh people coming in. They are in a huge position geographically, and I am sure they wont be short of investors. However that line excuse...we have had it said about us - they never came in! Its a new excuse now - probably macron! |

Cardiff look set to have a good few years on the field if there's any shape on this Mulvihill. I hope they kick on and sort themselves out off the field soon, about time we had some competition

Arhip to blues. The French move fell through. Montpellier(I think) offered £400k a year . He’s not that good. It makes you wonder what Samson is worth. (Answer- priceless)

Arhip is a top tight head. He has given Rob Evans a few hard times in recent years and that takes some doing. Blues have got themselves a very good signing.

think its an excellent signing for the blues. with big heavy lump of a 2nd row coming in as well this will certainly improve their scrum and tight play. arhip has always been very solid and very few props get the better of him. blues will be much stronger again next year

Top signing for Cardiff Blues. If he manages to stay fit, he will be a real assett for them. No doubt a signing that help bring through Dillon Lewis.

Yes its got the makings of another excellent season. Blues have a decent young squad which with the right coaching could become our biggest Welsh challengers. I remain unconvinced about the Ospreys squad quite frankly. They have lost quality - Biggar, Webb, Beck, Fonotia & Arhip. Some of the replacements are top notch - Scotty for instance but most of the others are going to have to up their performance levels considerably to get anywhere near their predecessors.

agree. I see Cardiff Blues as a genuine play off contending side next season - all depends how they take off under the new coaching team though but there is a realistic shot there. Ospreys I feel are in a bit of a rebuilding phase which may not be great watching for their fans next season...There will be a new half back pairing, new centre partnership and a new unit in back 3 so its a brand new backline that may take time to settle but they have lost some depth which could be a huge issue. It will be interesting to see how AWJ plays next year - I'm guessing wrapped in cotton wool for the world cup. Dragons...even with the Ospreys being at their worst in regional history, I still don't see Dragons being anything other than 4th Welsh region.

Again not regional, or even a Pro 14 deal (sorry), but Wallabies legend George Smith has signed a 6 month deal with Bristol.

It’s nice to be in a position where you afford to just go out a pick up a global star of the game, even if it’s only for a short period of time.
Remember Bristol signed Piatau from Ulster whilst they were still playing championship rugby and not certain of being promoted to the Aviva. Just think what we could achieve under this current coaching setup if our board (as great as they are) had that sort of money at their disposal. We would probably have been european champions is season, bearing in mind the only team to stop us making the final and retaining the pro14 was Leinster, who had a much larger pool of players to pick from and a considerably larger player budget. I echo what’s been said already about our regional neighbours, Ospreys will struggle to replace the class of players they have lost, the Dragons will still be bottom of the pile and the Blues will be pushing for a playoff spot, should they gel quickly with their new coaches. From our point of view, I presume that most of the contracting and transfer deals are now done and that Pivac is happy with what he’s got to work with, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he maybe has another signing in mind. |
