Would you put Kristian in to the starting team/match day squad next week, Baz?

I would if tagi isn't fit, he certainly looked like he was struggling last night.

Eastern outpost yes I would bring him back if Big Mike is still carrying a knock. George Earl was man of the match according to the Rugby Paper but I would possibly give him another run out in semi pro then bench him against Munster, hopefully he will be fit then to start in Toulon.

I agree with you there KC. He gets a lot of unfair criticism on here, as does Gareth Owen, from certain posters. I'd go as far to say that in a Scarlets shirt he's as good as George North ever was.

Yes KP played well last season, Made great breaks and scored some match wining tries.

I just presumed it was some osprey fans trolling!

Some of the unbalanced  negativity seems to eminate from them coming from the dreaded Ospreys and then portrayed as their rejects - unfairly. They are entitled to a clean slate when they and indeed  any players join us. If they came from Burry Port or similar they would be cut some slack. They haven't played worse than some of the others although KP seems to have dropped down the pecking order under Pivac and GO has gone up the pecking order over Warren and Shingler. Not sure what Mark Jones is saying about all this and would love to know!

Obviously we're all being Osprey bashers with no objectivity. There's a reason they ended up here.

I very much doubt any of the criticism of GO and KP comes from the fact that they played for the Ospreys. We're desperate for players to do well for us.

Both of these players have ability, but their error count is consistently far too high for professional rugby. That doesn't mean they'll make errors in every game or they won't have really good moments, just that they're  unlikely to ever be a first team solution for us.

I think it's fair to say that in the cases of both players, their lack of development since they were promising youngsters is disappointing.

It doesn't happen often but it's agreement I think on this one

It is odd, it's not as if we post that often.
 
As for people not giving them a chance because they're Ospreys I don't buy that, we're not good enough to be that pedantic about where they are from.
 
And I'll change my opinion of them as players when they give me a reason to.
