[QUOTE="ScumV, post: 43480"] The problem is that Nicky Robinson is the Welsh Back up outside half, and he is first choice at the Blues. Had Stephen gone to the Blues that would have resulted in our back up 10 being on the bench week in week out, which is absolutely no good for Welsh Rugby. The Scarlets are building a very exciting set of Backs there with Daf James, Regan King & Mathew J Watkins at centre, Mark Jones, on the wing Barry Davies (who has just re-signed his contract) and Lee Byrne. Stephen will control the game fantastically, and I only hope that Gareth Jenkins will allow him to do it rather than control and force him to play the plays Gareth himself calls as Stephen recently commented on in an Interview to Midi Olympique. He said that at Mont he is allowed to do whatever he wants with the ball, while at Stradey he was told the two plays, and had to go with them. Personaly I feel that a coach who does that is limiting his players to the ability of the coach, rather than giving them a free hand and tweaking their rough edges. It is a fine line between coaching a player, and simply creating a controlled robot. [/QUOTE]
