Where do we go from here?

A few sections of the Welsh media will no doubt be enjoying this. One of Wales' stand alone 'regions' struggling to get it right on and off the field. Of course, they'd be right to question the direction of the Scarlets. None of us could guess the next move of what appears to be a shambolic excuse for a professional rugby outfit currently.

In front of yet another disappointing crowd I, along with a few thousand other Scarlets fans, witnessed possibly the worst defeat since professional rugby began in West Wales. It wasn't in terms of the scoreline, but the manner in which the team lost was enough to send home the majority with over 20 minutes still remaining. A chorus of 'boos' sounded around Parc y Scarlets as the team walked off the pitch.

Where was the pride? Where was the commitment? Where was the plan? Most importantly, where do we go from here?

Nigel Davies commented on Scrum V that if we're looking for someone to blame, then blame him. Ultimately, he is the guy responsible for motivating the players, installing the game plan and ensuring that we have the structures in place on the field to eventually win the game. Can he take us forward? By now we should surely be seeing his influence on the team given that he is approaching a full year in charge. As of yet, we haven't seen any positives during his reign.

Unless we sign a few players with the ability to change the way we play then we have to fear for the future of the Scarlets. The recruitment over the last 5 or so years has been diabolical on the whole, wasting money and putting the club in a desperate light.

Off the pitch we're looking more and more amateur as the days go by. Stories of elementary mistakes in the marketing, a business plan which appears to have been out of touch with reality, especially when it comes to pricing structures and to top it all off, we've no idea of who the next CEO will be. If anyone is listening, please give us something to perk us up a bit!
