Can't see any questions other than ones about transfer speculation being asked, probably some diplomatic speak as answers, and no one any the wiser.
I hope someone can think of something else to ask though just to break up the barrage of transfer questions.

Why would the coaches not give some in-sight on transfers and runmours? ...I'm sure the meeting will shoot down or confirm some elements of player movement. Sorry I can't be there..these meetings are excellent. |

If you read between the lines you can normally get a decent feel for what's happening on the incoming/outgoing front.
People can also ask the questions about second half performances, subs, injury updates etc.
As always looking forward to it.

Can't make it, but I'm sure questions regarding second half performances will be asked in light oif results and Haydn's excellent statistics. Hope it is a great night

He said if I didn't take my notepad and pen and bring good news back he's cut my hands off, I think by law he's still entitled to do that because of his title so I'd better do what I'm told. I'll check with him whether I'm allowed to share the info.

Would be great to get updates on the injured players we have out at the moment.

With Nigel only spending about 5-10 % of his time on the training pitch I wonder what does a typical day for a head coach entail. Come to think about it I wonder what Garan and Brad do in a typical day. ------------- Then raise the scarlet standard high.

Maybe someone can ask for updates on our injured players? That shouldn't be controversial. Not sure if they can say anything about Rhys T, but it would be good to know IF they can tell us he's making good progress. ------------- “You cannot reason a man out of what he never reasoned himself into.” (Jonathan Swift) |

| Could Crys16 maybe write some of these questions down to ask on behalf of us? It's not as if people can't be bothered to go, some genuinely can't make it. |

Message to Crys 16 I know that you have a separate Supporters Trust section on SF, but it is named just that. Not much seems to get posted there. Suggestion. Can you open a separate section entitled Crys 16 so that messages about meetings can be posted there. Additionally, when a Meet the Coaches comes along members can post their questions there up until midday of the meeting. Those who cannot attend also have the facility to post question and time permitting they could be asked on the evening. Thanks.

I think it would be worth questioning the apparent drop off in performance in the second half, and why last weeks game was the opposite. what happened at the half-time talk - did Nigel get Garin to do it instead perhaps?! A question about Garin's longer term future would be interesting as the pack certainly seem to have improved this season. I'm sure there will be questions about transfers, but I wouldn't expect much clarification, although I would be interested to hear how they see things develop with WRU input to keep our internationals amid talk of central contracts etc. On this latter point I notice that Dan Parks is off to Connaght -are they financially better off than the Blues now - if so things are really dire!! I cannot get there this evening unfortunately, so I hope all who can go have a good one! ------------- Yma o Hyd North Enclosure Choir member since the Stradey Days. |

Great night tonight, thoroughly enjoyed!! Great touch by Nigel to tell us tonight in the meeting about Foxy's new contract!!  Couple of snipets about the evening: All the coaches are in agreement that the guys play too much rugby and that the season in the NH needs to be re-structured. Brad pointed out that in NZ the players that won the WC only played their 1st competatice match since the RWC final, last weekend!! Players being released by Wales for the regions are only let go a day or two before the match. Last week the Scarlets were only told on Wednesday afternoon who was being released before the game on Thursday!! 5 players have been released as of Monday for this Friday's match - Stevo, Liam, Aaron, Rhodri and Lou. The coaches have realised that the team has been 'losing' second halves this season and are looking into it, but as of yet there is nothing specific that it can be blamed on. ------------- Think, think, think - it's a thinking man's game!! - The Great Carwyn James. |

It was mentioned on another website that one of the posters was talking to him last week and he's doing well. Doesn't think he'll play rugby again ( the words of Rhys not the poster).

I cant remember if they said if Garin is staying with us for next season...i hope so.
did find it interesting that they watched video of the leinster front row (5 or 6 hours after our defeat). when nige was discussing recruitment processes. maybe i was putting 2 and 2 together and came out with 5, but are they maybe looking at one of the leinster reserve props for next year?
nothing mentioned also about lou reed or any other departures. ------------- Once a Scarlet, always a Scarlet! |

Isn,t it great that a professional club engages with it,s fans like the Scarlets do. None of your scripted questions that the answering panel are aware of prior to the meetingCrys 16 should be applauded for being able to engage with the club to host such an event and the club should be congratulated for the stance they take in being part of it ------------- Toontotown challenges have now raised £101,321 for charity www.toontotown.co.uk You cant buy Scarlet culture........You have to breed Scarlet culture Proud member of Herman Tours |

You're sorted for lunch today then, Mr. Evans? Cocktail sausages and mini-pasties, no doubt. A king's feast, mun.
Hope it went well last night. I did intend coming down, but I didn't leave work until 1830 and couldn't face a drive down the M4 from Newport.
Kudos to CRYS16 and the Scarlets for putting these events on. Incredible to think that there is that link between the club and the fans in a professional era. ------------- If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose. |

Many thanks to all who attended and made it a great night. We thank you for re-newing membership / joining as new members. A couple of the SF hardcore massif joined for the first time last night. Diolch, bois.
It was a fantastic gesture by the Scarlets to give us the news on Foxy's re-signing first. Well appreciated.
