Better to be a development side than closed because you're in deep financial trouble, and playing like a Joey Deacon's select 15 most weeks. At least we've the honesty to be shit every week. We've won the Singha 7s by the way. You’re a department of the WRU. If Davies succeeds in knocking off Phill...

Suck a dick PT, a big fat dick. The Ospreys are trading in past glories, they're skint, and will lose players after the World cup. You're in the shit, regardless of what you did in the past. We’ll see what happens now that James and Davies are awake. Whatever happens, you’ve accepted development st...

One of the things I find worrying is, if the Dragons are binned, that means no pro rugby side in Gwent, the same Gwent that produces more players than any of the other regions. Gwent also has a healthy premiership presence, and is fully loaded throughout the lower leagues. If they (Dragons) hadn't ...

The Ospreys aren’t being shut down because of ‘financial problems’, they’re being shut down because the WRU wants them to be shut down. They want Cardiff and the Turks to be fully funded, and the Dragons and north Wales to be development teams. This is lead by the WRU. What makes you say this? And ...

PT You still haven't explained this devious 'trap'. What has changed from the regions saying they weren't going to sign the PA and then not actually signing it? Jesus wept. Really?

The welsh regions might be a bit of a novelty for the english for a season or two, but they wouldn't give that much of a fudge in the long term.

Part of RRW strategy is to make Lewis so toxic that David Pickering, as chairman, directs the board to remove him. Until NYE, he was totally safe in his position. Now, as a result of the nuRegions debacle, he has been roasted in the media and on social media; today, the board of directors issued a ...

So what difference would the regions playing in the AP make? They're still made up shite regardless of where they ply their trade. Cardiff, Llanelli, Newport and the Ospreys? One of them from 2003, the others from 1870s. Ok, so you have 4 teams with history. Why not use them as a basis for a centra...

Some of the Journo's on twitter are saying this statement is a row back from the mental one on Tues. Gareth Davies sounding very reasonable on the TV yesterday appealing to the non Roger members of the board have had an effect.

Sounds like an ultimatum to me. "One last chance or we're making our own regions. We mean it this time" We'll see what the new PA is like, but I can't imagine it'll be what the regions are after.

Bloody hell man......That's just wishful thinking on your part. You have to be logical in all this and balance out the probabilities of what is likely to happen.

Wishful thinking, was it?
