you say that llanelli have the first roll of the dice but say that Josh went to the Quins, and Pete has gone to Llanelli, even tho he's played for you all season and only played 1 game for llanelli when they had a prop shortage and you didnt have a game that wknd.. |

you said ponty would complain if he played for the Drovers. i asked why, when he's played for the Drovers all season (and only played 1 game for Llanelli when you didnt have a game). |

I really hope the Drovers are well supported by the region for Wednesday, why not? Fair amount of negativity about Llanelli getting the favours still exists I see - I thought that had been put to bed?
IMHO the Drovers should have Adam, Rhodri, Emyr, Pete, Damien and Kieran available as they are all Drovers players. Plus they can have some extras under the rules so let's sort it out. That would really get under Ponty's skin - Excellent !!

Didn't know that, but it's just as well the Drovers weren't in the BIC this year, or that would surely have cup-tied Rhodri. And since all the WP are in the BIC next season, we'll need to be careful about swapping players between feeders for the hell of it. I think that should apply to the league as well. No problem with moving what are, after all, the Scarlets own players around, but each such move should be "permanent", in my view. |

But doesn't that defeat the whole point of regional rugby.
The Scarlets have 3 feeder clubs, Quins, Drovers and Llanelli.
The region has a large pot of players that need to get regular rugby
It's almost like central contacts where the region ensure that each side has shortfalls covered game on game.
What would the point be of Llanelli failing to fulfil a fixture due to prop problems when the Quins have 6 fit props?
The Drovers don't seem to have fully accepted the regional feeder concept if you want fixed squads.

ST, you are right.
While it's nice to have players 'fixed' to certain feeder clubs, at times there have to be exceptions - like last week when the RFC didn't have enough fit props and drafted Pete in, who is a Drovers regular.

Because Ponty are Ponty ... very bitter .... Living on expectations & past glory ! I wish all our Premiership sides could have a setup where the sides aren't ripped apart every week to cover injuries in the Scarlets ... I suppose that's what happens when you buy into regionalisation ! |

That's exactly what it's like. So when central contracts come in, do you expect our international players to switch regions to get game time or make up for injuries? Why would you object, assuming you accept that regions are only there to develop players for Team Wales. I don't know what the Drovers management expect, but I do know the supporters welcomed the allocation of some named Scarlets players - not all of them original developed by the Drovers - to their squad, on the understanding that these would not always be available when expected to appear for the region. They didn't much like the previous system of parachuting in a regional player on occasions when they needed game time, were recovering from injury, or were in the middle of attitude rehabilitation. |

I sincerely hope not but I wouldn't put anything past the good old WRU. My analogy was maybe slightly wrong as in a centrally contracted set-up you would only be allocated to one club per season generally whereas for the feeders it's game by game. I think it works well and will support the Drovers 100% against the beasts from Sardis

So why would it be necessary for you only to be allocated to one club per season in a centrally contracted system regional system? Surely, shuffling players around to, say, do better in Heineken Cup games would surely give more of our internationals the chance to experience high pressure rugby? Would you be happy for players who have played for Llanelli RFC to turn out for other feeders in your region, perhaps to play against Llanelli RFC? And if not, why not? |
