Who will and who won't?

Lots of rumours seem to be gathering pace at the moment, Rhys Thomas has been confirmed and names mentioned being:

  • Daniel Braid, who's been in impressive form so far for the Queensland Reds. Seems he'd be a perfect acquisition given that we haven't really seen a 7 play in the Scarlets shirt for a while. Since Gavin Thomas' injury Easterby and Dafydd Jones have filled the 7 shirt, both of whom are more suited to Blind-side. Braid would be in a different league to Thomas.
  • In another league again is Phil Waugh. Lots of rumours flying around in the Southern Hemisphere regarding his future but it's more than likely that he'll be costing too much. No doubt he'd be a class act in the Scarlet jersey though. Keep talking to him Lyno!
  • Daniel Halangahu, a player who has come to life this season given Kurtley Beale's inconsistent form. Another 'NWQ' but his current form suggests he'd be a good signing. Also reported to have been to Y Parc to watch a game.
  • David Lemi, Bristol's dazzling wing, has also been rumoured. It could definitely spark some life into the back line which has looked laboured at times this season.

Each of these would bring much needed depth, along with the youngsters coming through such as Daniel Evans, Jon Davies, who has established himself at 12, Lou Reed, Josh Turnbull and anyone else who fancies putting their hand up for contention!
