A serious question here from someone who rarely gets to see the semi pro games due to where I live, and the ones I do see are The Drovers.
Why are LLanelli RFC so poor? I was up at Parc Eirias on Sunday and saw the drubbing they had as the score was still up. My understanding is we have 3 feeder clubs Quins Drovers and LLanelli and my understanding is that Academy players are fed into these clubs to gain experience (happy to be corrected if this is wrong) Do the RFC not have an equal share of these assets? Are they prone to player theft with short notice call ups due to their proximity to Scarlets? Or Do they have a good squad but poor coaching? It just seems mad that they I assume have access to all the facilities of the Scarlets but zero outcome whereas using the Drovers as my example (as I have seen their facilities) have your basic club facilities and I would say punch above their weight Also do Scarlets fund the 3 clubs in anyway? Long winded question but I just don't understand how LLanelli RFC are so poor and consistently so |

Good question, which needs a good answer. Unfortunately, I do 'nt have one. It's a real issue I think ,which has to be addressed urgently. If there was relegation this year, we would be gone Incidentally, was anyone at the Carmarthen game today...basement battle?Another poor loss for RFC.

Yes I was there today…the game was over at half time really Carmarthen were 26-0 up…Jac Price played for Carmarthen and was the only Scarlet/Academy player in their side..Morgan Jones was due to play for Llanelli but pulled out..Llanelli did come back into the game and scored 4 tries,2 were late on with the game lost..Llanelli had 6 full time Academy players playing with only Shelton their best forward…Back line look lost at times,as they were missing Eddie James / Corey Baldwin..From what I was told today the Wales u20’s boys were missing as well…Llandovery today didn’t have anyone playing from the Scarlets set up in their game..Llanelli rfc should be doing better with the players at their dispense,maybe it’s a coaching issue as the coaching staff have been there for some time..

Thanks Townboy. I would have gone today, but we were taking my wife's great nieces to the panto in Frwnes. I am very disappointed with that result. Honestly, do'nt know what the answer is ? There has to be a total re- assessment surely!

Thank you, Llanelli 1963.
It really upsets me to us doing so poorly. Carmarthen also having a poor season, so not a great time for region. Let's hope some can be done

Llandovery going well beat Ebbw vale
Other two feeder clubs struggling thought Llanelli would have won today but sounds like Quins played well Quins have a big injury list but still expected Llanelli to win today |

watched a fantastic game of rugby yesterday where Ammanford entertained Brecon in the cup with the Chief coaching Brecon it was end to end stuff full of skill and commitment which neither side deserved to lose but the highlight was Ammanford being awarded a touchline penalty in the final minute in front of Chief who well and truly threw his toys (clipboard and baseball cap) out the pram it was kicked and Ammanford won a thriller 25-24 really enjoyable game.

Disappointing result for Llanelli but when you lose players to the Scarlets, Wales U20's and have to bring in 4 or 5 players in on permit you'll always struggle.

There’s an argument to be made that spending another £100-150k pa on grizzled semi pros would aid the development of our youngsters. There’s another argument that playing in a struggling team doesn’t harm the development of the youngsters provided they’re getting the right coaching.
