Give Winston a break lads he is surely entitled to his opinion. He's paid his money to follow the Scarlets and is free to say what he wants - he didn't say anything controversial surely. Our leadership in general has been poor & only improved in my mind when Scott or Barclay were leading.

Ken's committment to the cause is unquestionable but that doesn't absolve him from mistakes in leadership. AWJ would have taken those penalties and I wouldn't have fancied any coaches chances of overruling him. He has a feel for the game as he is in the middle of the action.

And I’ve turned why.   Because some on here don’t like what is staring them in the face

And just for the record I will be at PYS next week and the coming weeks come what may. Even though I have to swap shifts at work and have a two hour round trip. Oh and I didn’t leave early   I just express my opinion. I do admit to not being one eyed.

I don't think anyone has an issue with you taking issue with the fact we turned down kicks, i am on the same mind as you, the issue is the way you expressed it. your post a few posts later explained perfectly how you felt...without the personal attack.

Thank you for recognising that.   I realise that as a newbie I haven’t yet earned the right to criticise anything Scarlets and perhaps I should cease to post for a couple of seasons until that right has been earned   Many others have criticised Ken but not been pilloried. I stand corrected and apologise to the forum

The points being referred to were in front of the posts early second half when Dan was on the pitch.

Sometimes it takes a newbie to say something. I’m sorry if you think that I should go back to Gloucester. I changed clubs as I relocated. I came to Scarlets to watch attractive rugby.   Scarlets like wales mostly have attractive backs but need the front five to win the ball and the back three to win the breakdown. All simple stuff. But when thats not happening and confidence is clearly low then for goodness sake take the points


Beware this place for speaking your mind.

It is, isn't it. For me losing scrum possession about 10 metres from their line on 55 minutes was the turning point.

That's what's wrong with modern rugby.   Players should have the autonomy to make decisions themselves. I think Ken should have ignored Flanagan. Ken is the   captain.

Sorry but I disagree. Ken is on the   pitch. I've seen lots of occasions in international sport that this happens. I take what your saying Wasp but I think in certain instances the captain should   make the call

My main issue was why he didn't chew Nigel about the hand in the ruck that led to the Lloyd Williams try. It was obvious !
