Not sure what Mark Jones is saying about all this and would love to know! 

good post.

Obviously we're all being Osprey bashers with no objectivity. There's a reason they ended up here.

I very much doubt any of the criticism of GO and KP comes from the fact that they played for the Ospreys. We're desperate for players to do well for us.

Both of these players have ability, but their error count is consistently far too high for professional rugby. That doesn't mean they'll make errors in every game or they won't have really good moments, just that they're  unlikely to ever be a first team solution for us.

I think it's fair to say that in the cases of both players, their lack of development since they were promising youngsters is disappointing.

It doesn't happen often but it's agreement I think on this one

It is odd, it's not as if we post that often.
 
As for people not giving them a chance because they're Ospreys I don't buy that, we're not good enough to be that pedantic about where they are from.
 
And I'll change my opinion of them as players when they give me a reason to.
