Rob was understandably blowing a bit. Shings looked as fit as ever. Hope Rob’s venture in US goes well for him. Too young to retire . I keep on thinking ‘ what if’ with the last 3 years or so of Rob’s career and his Welsh caps ..

Absolutely right - strange to say, there were periods when he had his doubters who complained that he wasn't a big strong carrying hulk - oddly ignoring the fact that he was our best lineout specialist by a country mile, plus had real pace - remember that try straight from a kick-off? A superb player for the Scarlets.

That explains it then - the 'driver' (whichever that was) carried a long-term grudge against the 'passenger' for not paying his fair share of mileage! Seriously, though - hope it works out for Rob in the USA. A very talented player who for whatever reason seemed to lose his way.

Yes Dai Flanagan took him on but that career resurgence opportunity fizzled out sadly. His prime was nothing like it should have been sadly

I spoke to Kemsley at the end of last season, and I told him how irked I was about Rob Evans comments about Scarlets , once he joined Dragons. Kempley laughed and said take no notice of Rob, that's the way he is , sometimes a great wind up merchant ! He also said how much Rob loved the Scarlets. I that context, it must have been a blow to him to lose his pro contact here, and now at Dragons. We have wonderful memories of Rob at his best here at Scarlets and of course for Wales.He formed a formidable front row with Ken and Samson(at his best ) Rob had a great skill set, and who can forget the lovely pass, in the 2017 Pro 12 final in Dublin which ended in steff Evans scoring, after the ' me to you, with foxy'. Sadly injures affected him badly, and when you cannot scummage effectively any more , which is now the case with Rob, its curtains. I heard he had taken up a player coach role at his old club of Haverfordwest , so I don't know what happened to that. Anyway, if he is going to the US on a new venture, I wish him well.

Fair play, that's going to be fun. If it's the new Miami Sharks, they just signed a deal to play at Inter Miami's training ground. Rob on the same field as Messi?

Always seemed a very look at me kind of player. Belongs to the rugby teams of the 90s.

Great win, as many have alluded to second half we had a lot of youngsters playing and they more than held their own.
Ioan Lloyd was man of the match for me. Excited by him linking up with Mcnicholl and our backs. Eddie James showing great promise. Plumtree has great rugby IQ. Impressed by Morgan Jones and Ed Scragg for his first game did very well. Shaun Evans with a strong showing again. Gutting for Archie Hughes to come off after scoring. Lineout needs real work, and the scrum, Defence looked good.

Thanks for this. Excellent |
