Jeffreys from the Dragons originally , no Region comes close to the Scarlets when it comes to producing Pro players, be it for us ,or other Regions or English clubs . Barrie Williams( a few senior appearances with us )started with the legendary Scarlets under 21 team, lead by the Mighty Quinn!!! Went all season unbeaten ,Scott scoring 5 tries , when London Irish were pumped by 80 odd points .

Perfectly true 157 something we should cherish, hold dear & celebrate. It may well attract parasites but what the hell!!!!

I wonder when the Scarlets announce it, whether there will be a 6 page thread on the loss of Cassiem - a player who has become a fans favourite.... though because he isn't going to the Liberty I doubt there will be. |
Yes. The Ospreys fascination. There’s a preconception they’ve taken dozens of our academy players. I’d love to see a list. I bet it’ll be a short one. |
Absolutely a massive blow to hear of Osian suffering such serious injuries, I have seen the lad play over the past 3 seasons , had the potential to be a star . I just wonder did he have a medical ? before signing for them .
With regards the Scarlets developed players at the Os ,it is not a shortlist . Dan Evans, North, Scott, Osian, Rhodri Jones, Ifan Phillips, Sam Parry,Gareth Thomas and now Jac Morgan . That his not forgetting the likes of Barry Davies, Aled Davies,Barrie Williams, Rob McCusker and possibly Lee Byrne ,who was developed by the Scarlets after joining from Bridgend Athletic .
With regards Morgan Jones he been here for 4 seasons now, Costelow , Harry Williams, the O' Connor brothers, Morgan Macrae, Harry Breeze and Carwyn , they have all joined us from the Exiles programme, and are Welsh qualified . Not forgetting there all Welsh qualified . So none have joined from other Welsh Regions . |
Yes they were there but people seem convinced they’re ‘stealing’ our academy players. They were all established squad members.

I wouldn’t worry about who’s academy product is who’s. All that matters is those wearing Scarlet and those who want to wear Scarlet. (The latter being the key one)
