Kickety Kickety kick!

Another day another bonus point. Unfortunately it's another losing bonus point and it came as the match was snatched away in injury time, again!

I have to admit I haven't watched the game, but from what I've read it was another scrappy affair with Rhys Priestland slotting over 6 penalties before Connacht snatched the game deep into injury time with their fifth penalty, an earlier try from Conor O'Loughlin helping them on their way.

I understand the fact that these games give players like Liam Davies, Rhys Priestland and other youngsters in the Dragons game and even new players like Bruce Douglas valuable gametime, but the fact that its always a scrappy affair and we're beginning to come out on the losing side a bit too often is quite disappointing.

So what's the solution? Are we to be patient and hold on until next season when these players have more gametime under their belts to improve the squad and we've signed some of these 'promised' international class players? Or do we demand that this is reloved NOW before the players become so demotivated it has a knock on effect to next season anyway?

None of us outside the Scarlets truly know what goes on behind the closed doors but does that matter to the fans? What we want is some silverware, something to cheer about and something to put that spring back in our step! I'm prepared to give it time, but please give us something to cheer about this season!

Oh great, its started to rain...
