Sweeping statement l know but l feel its the truth.

Ospreys are only in a slightly better position though.

Agree at moment we be mid table with the extra money available we be very competitive we better the Worcester Bristol Newcastle Sale Harlequins and Leicester Would put us on par with Northampton but below Exeter Wasps Saracens and Bath

Why would the Aviva want the Welsh regions?

Competition as their league only two teams can conceivably win it they would love to us and the Ospreys not sure about the blues and Dragons. With the money available us and the Ospreys would be competitive.

I have never liked DC's and getting fed up with them and the animosity it creates within the regions.

16 Players in total are on NDCs split like this:

Blues 2 - Sam Warburton / Gareth Anscombe
Dragons 2 - Tyler Morgan / Hal Amos 
Scarlets 3 - Samson / Jake / Foxy
Ospreys 9 - Webb / Biggar / AWJ / Bradley / Baldwin / Lydiate / Thornton / Baker 

heavy tilt towards one side there with all their key players signed up on NDCs.



This shows very clearly what is wrong with the way the NDCs have been administered - I was in favour, but NOT if it means subsidising the Os at 3x the rate of the Scarlets.

No sane person could pretend that the Os have developed or are contributing 3x as many players to the national cause as the Scarlets - indeed, we had more starters, and more players in the 23, than the Os vs Ireland. This needs sorting, as it is bringing the system into disrepute.

Safe to say these NDC agreements are completely shafting us. The WRU clearly are prioritising the Ospreys and Blues, I hope our leadership are all over them like a rash.

Wouldn't add Blues in that comment to be honest as they only have Warburton and Anscombe currently. Francis...doesn't need to move does he. He's a forward. He is a prop. He will always be a wildcard as there is only him and Samson. It's the backs that are risking things with moving away / turning down a return. Can not see Roberts returning on a DC. He will be 31 next season. If he is to return to Cardiff, he will go there in full IMO. 
 
it's absolutely ridiculous though how we have:
Samson Lee
Jake Ball
Foxy

But Ken Owen, Rob Evans, Scott Williams, Liam Williams, Gareth Davies...All match day regulars, most starters, for Wales. All these players have recently signed new deals...and not cheaper deals either. 

Ospreys have:
Rhys Webb
Alun Wyn Jones
Dan Biggar
Bradley Davies
Dan Lydiate
James King
Scott Baldwin
Dan Baker
Rory Thornton
ones in bold i simply can not understand. 
When you have the likes of Rob Evs, Ken Owen (the Lions hooker for me) etc not on one! 
For the Ospreys starting line up - 60% are NDC players...and by that, obviously, only 40% of wages Ospreys are paying for majority of their line up. 

I don't get it! Does anybody? 

With East Wales Blues bound to happen, I see this side having a first 15 of NDC players...where the glut of Ospreys NDCs will end and offered to that controlled region. That's where I see things heading.
