Liam Williams

Precisely Steff. I fail to also see why our comments are deemed petulant & silly when a player clearly is underperforming. How can we compare the superb committment shown by players like Sione to that of Liam over the past two seasons? Bearing in mind that Liam was rejected by his home region I would have thought he at least owed the Scarlets some gratitude for giving him his chance.

For sure none of us could fault the sheer determination & will to succeed that Liam brought in his first contract with us, sadly that memory has been tarnished by the past two years. Far too often Welsh Internationals are guilty of forgetting their committment to their regions once they are Welsh regulars. Of course that does not apply across the board. Players like Cawdor, Tipuric, Faletau & Moriarty are examples of how it should be done. 

I'd take issue with this "only a short career" old chestnut.It's not.Age,just like a complete absence of any kind of form,is no barrier to staying at the very top of the professional game in Welsh rugby.

For the record Leigh Halfpenny and Foxy are two of the best professionals Wales have ever had, for the youngsters to learn off these players is priceless. 

You can't simply have a thread closed down because you don't like or agree with the content 

I agree with every word you've written there.

It's a perfect explanation of why professional sportsmen should know when to call it a day.

What concerns me is Foxy being made captain. Unless his performances improve then he shouldn't be first choice at 13 or even on the bench. There were times last season where he struggled to get the basics rights at all. 

His defence has been immense at times. The loss v Toulon his tackle on his opposite number, making up a fair bit of ground. He's done that a hell of a lot for us. Covered hard yards to make the tackle. And many runs from deep with ball in hand being the catalyst for a fair few tries. 

Sorry,but that's what full-backs do-they  cover a lot of yards in defence and run from deep.Halfpenny's meant to be a superstar and is paid accordingly.It's funny that anybody praising him simply celebrates the prosaic.For what it's worth,I lost interest in him when he lost his pace,and he lost his pace long before he came here.

So he did his job then? And the element  of psychology placed on the opposition of not conceding penalties because of his range has also been a positive. 

Tackle technique definitely let him down, I'll agree there. 

Anyway onwards and upwards, Tom Rogers is the future. And what a player he may become.
