Encouraging interview by Nigel, fully engaged in next season's planning, especially recruitment, and ball carriers in the pack. Also back room appointments as well. Apparently news coming soon. And he hasn't decided his own future yet.

Ladram, amongst others, will probably say the proof is in the pudding - or rather the names being signed.

He speaks of 44-45 player squads. Right now we are low to mid 30s in the senior squad. Huge recruitment and retention needed.

Tonight , Nigel Davies and several players were appearing at the Crys 16
" Meet the Players " Evening at Parc. In the past , I have thoroughly enjoyed this occasion. Last year my friend and I were able to meet Archer Holtz., who proved both funny and engaging. Several funny stories about James Slipper( who holds the record number of caps for Australian front row forwards). Archer has huge potential, and despite being unlucky vwith injury and serious debilitating illness, has played well. Fletcher Anderson and Jake Ball were two,of the names appear tonight. It is Nigel Davies however who I would have been most interested in listening to. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it this evening, so if anyone who did attend is able to let us know how it went , and in particular what Nigel said.. I would be extremely grateful DIOLCH |

Couldn’t make the meet the players either, sadly.
I wonder how we’re going to afford 40+ senior players when we couldn’t afford them this year? I wonder how we can offer job security when we couldn’t do it for Marnus? Intriguing

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Yes, I'm scratching my head... I'm also not a fan of the approach of 'We've had some really good news this week...but can't tell you about it'... or 'I've got a budget for next season and I'm working to it, but don't know if I'm going to be around'. It's just the sceptic in me that reads these comments as just plain unnecessary really. |

I imagine the money from Munster will have been a fair whack more than we could offer sadly.

Could it be Ospreys players jumping to us knowing their ship has sunk? Bois wishing to stay local, bargain prices. Only thing I can think of, unless about to announce major investor at season end.

I would like to have a squad of 40 players however we are still on £4.5m per season so i would imagine a lot of these players will be picked up from the SRC teams and the quality would be low and they would be holding tackling bags for most of the season. I can't see us making any significant signings for next year because as it stands we go out of business at the end of next season, no decent player will want a 1 year contract. I'm sceptical about us even surviving atm let alone signing players.

the Nige interview is fairly damning of the club's set up the last few years, as I read it. If I put on my 'read between the lines x-ray goggles' he seems to be saying what many of us have been thinking. The same problem we've had for years though is how do you 'sell' scarlets to top coaches and players etc with the current uncertainty? Be interesting to see who he can attract
