[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 636649, member: 13739"] Johnson was pretty damn poor during his time with the Ospreys, I fully agree with Feic on that. The Ospreys managed to put together a string of impressive displays together at the end of the season which resulted in them winning the league, but for most of the regular season they looked disjointed and error strewn. However, I don't blame the Ospreys for hiring him, as they were actively trying to bring in an experienced coach to get the best out of a talented squad. Very different to the likes of Baber and Burnell, Tandy, and Easturby, who were given the reigns with little coaching experience. I know money is tight, but I'd happily see the regions invest in quality coaches at the expense of a player or two if needs be. Regarding the RCC. The headlines make it sound great for everyone, more money for all! However Sean Holley pointed out something on Scrum V that I think some people haven't realised. Yes the regions get more money, but the English and French clubs get a lot more. The regions will find it even harder to compete once wages have inflated to match. I am still very, very weary about this new competition. It's good that it's at least all sorted, but I think in a couple of years time it'll be obvious that this was a far worse deal for the Welsh regions than what they were getting in the HC. [/QUOTE]
