We have to give credit where it's due, how many people had heard of Beirne or Ball for example before they arrived here??
It's still relatively early to be judging some players that arrived this season - its not exactly been a settled squad playing week after week. |

Think, think, think - it's a thinking man's game!! - The Great Carwyn James.

Blade is a very high quality signing and for overall level of play is up there with Barclay - what he cannot bring yet is leadership which we are struggling with at the moment. When things go wrong we don't seem to have anyone who can assess, gather the forwards around and adjust. Last night's game was crying out for calm leadership - firstly Rhys should have kicked the penalty when the lad got red. Then we should have played territory and tried to put together phases. Instead we enter into a frantic high tempo game on their terms. Clearly the penalty count crucified us so why not let them have the ball trust our defence and keep squeaky clean.

The WRU should be looking long and hard at the situation with the Dragons. They have some very good young guys who don't seem to be being developed properly - Brown, Keddie, Griffiths, Wainwright are all forwards who would add to any other regions' squads. At 20's level Brown & Keddie were as good if not better than their Irish counterparts who are now tearing up trees at Leinster - why???? It has to be coaching surely.

One player we should sign in Owen Williams, quick as possible.

We have 3 quality centres at the moment & I don't think he will be happy coming in to play 2nd fiddle to Rhys at 10.

At this point in time we are an injury away from being in big trouble at 10. Owen would challenge Rhys hard for the starting jersey and would push Parkes & Asquith at 12. Therefore from a team strengthening point of view he would be ideal. As for wingers we currently have Jonny & Steff who are starters, Prydie, Ioan, Baldwin, Conbeer & Tomi Lewis. If all remain with us a wing is not a prioirity particularly when you see how weak we are in the forwards.

2 second rows, carrying 6 and a proper 8. A blistering wing at least

Just a wishlist on my part. I believe they are all out of contract and in Lam and Lousis case - are not in All Blacks radar for the World Cup - type of players we need to target IMO. |

Snyman & Lousi would certainly be upgrades on Bulbring & Price & would give us that hard edge and carrying. Add in another effective no 8 carrier and we are well on our way.

Eh? A no.10 is THE most important signing we can make this season (besides a coach) We just can't rely on Patchell, he's either with Wales or injured. He's so fragile we can't go a whole season again without a 10 of serious quality going toe to toe with Patch for the shirt. |
