I’m not sure he really did embrace the Scarlets way.

The removal of past Scarlets heroes from the corridors in the players areas and changing rooms etc and the linking in to other clubs in different sports instead seemed to coincide with the loss of pride in the shirt, IMO.

Brilliant in front of the media, sure.
Bizarre reasons but ok, I doubt Mooar had the final say in parc y scarlets decor. What other clubs did he link us with?

 I didn’t see a loss of pride to be honest. That London Irish away match there was no loss of pride. We had a job to do to qualify and did it fantastically. Team spirit was back for that game and i’m not sure we have seen it since.

Embraced the Scarlets way? Because he said the right things in front of the cameras! Did we win any trophy’s or come close to getting far in Europe. I think not.

I also note that some in the NZ press are accusing/praising the Scarlets for pulling off a clever move by getting compensation for Brad Mooar's release. How things can change.

There is a nice piece on the BBC website, with an emotional farewell message from Brad, who leaves the UK today, alone with Hadley.
Diolch yn fawr to both.

I’ll call him a legend in his own right not necessarily a Scarlet legend. The man was inspirational and full of character like no coach I’d seen. On the Pro 14 post match analysis slots with the coaches the pundits were like kids buzzing with excitement around him.

An excellent positive reflective snap shot of the Brad Mooar stay and his time with us in Llanelli. Well said Lofty 👍

In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

jeez boys you could swear we'd lost dan carter not a promising youngster.

This topic did go off on a tangent a bit 😂

The Baldwin issue was amongst a few reasons why I don't see Brad as a Scarlets legend. No more than that, I'm sure we'll manage fine without Baldwin

Of course we will survive without Corey. For goodness sake bois bach this is not meant to be an Old Bailey event. Dic & I, in the main, have commented about what we saw as odd selection decisions some of which were regarding Corey. Dic's comments regarding Brad saying that Tompkins had the pace to play 13 also bring into question the selection of Steff Hughes at 13. Now Steff is a fine, intelligent player but quick he ain't. Lets face it does anyone disagree that Corey is one of the best centres to come out of our academy since Foxy & Scott? If you agree then it is surely pretty understandable that some of us are unhappy to lose him.
