Surprise surprise. A world class hooker at semi pro rates. Or is it a one off fee?

According to the evening post I think, he's playing for the Ashtrays at the request of the WRU.

Surely they treated him exactly the same way we treated him (i.e. we and they didn't offer him a contract when the Warriors went bust).

This has been requested by the WRU. Mike Ruddock wants him to play a game or two at a higher level than semi-pro before the Nov. internationals.

How do you know we didn't offer him a contract? Maybe we did and he turned us down. We've been turned down by players before init.

Well said. Why anyone thinks there should be an obligation on regions to offer contracts to certain players is beyond me.

I agree that it's a shame and not in Wales' interests for Mefin not to be playing at regional level, but to force a region to add £60kpa or so onto their books out of duty, not their own interest, is absurd.

i thought that the obligation on the regions was to produce 4 strong welsh sides to aid the country,therefore contracts should be offered to the best and lets be honest judging by the standards so far he must fall close to that category.
