Excellent article I hope a lot of Scarlets supporters living in Llanelli area will show there support for the RFC next season and turn up in good numbers . |

| Strange selection of players to identify ... suggests no link to the Scarlets pathway. |

Headline names, perhaps, favoured over pathway products. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

I think the point been made his none of the players mentioned came through our pathway and still made it as top end players after cutting there teeth with Llanelli RFC

Good letter and I agree that players mentioned did seem out of cinque with the core marketed thrust of the RFC as a player pathway club,but then we have picked up players like Ben Morgan and Liam , but guess this may reflect the Gareth Jenkins scouting connection.Anyway the letter is overall a very good one as the RFC needs more money independent of the Scarlets board. How these new RFC memberships dovetail into the reduced RFC admission that Scarlets season ticket holders have enjoyed next season does need clarification Asap so fans of both Region and the RFC know where they stand. An important aspect is of course the level of team that the RFC can put out. If we get defeated for half the season again due to lack of player maturity the fan base momentum will fall away and it is vital that a decent squad takes the field from game one not a team littered with junior club permits. Interesting times 👍 |

And all bar Aaron left us to ply their trade in England, some leaving under a cloud. The best linkage is surely to promote players who came through the system to play largely for the Scarlets, countless examples. Ben, Owen and Sanjay started with the RFC at around the age of 20, none were a product of our system. I don’t get it, I’m a bit dull mind. |

Llanelli RFC has long provided the pathway for players to go on and
flourish on the international stage. In recent seasons, late developers
like Liam Williams, Aaron Shingler, Owen Williams and Ben Morgan have
become accomplished Test match rugby players. I read it as they develop players through the pathway and pick up late developers. ------------- Tymor nesa Duw, plis tymor nesa. |

The WRU Board was cut back from 18 to 12 I think. Anyway, I’ll be behind the entity. |

hopefully the region will supply players earlier in the season than they did this year.

Not 100% certain on this but the Welsh Premiership does not start until late September next season and will not clash with the A league in its entirety . |

Didn't want to start a new thread but common sense has, it seems, prevailed at the WRU. They have scrapped the promotion/relegation play off, it will now be a simple one up one down for the winners of the Championship & bottom side of the Premiership. |

Got to feel for Pontypool though as the Championship this year is going to be a lot tougher with Neath, Cross Keys, Bedwas and Bargoed in it. Obviously im happy that the play off allowed Llanelli to escape relegation last year but I do feel for Pontypool |
