[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 399963, member: 13739"] I'm finding it extremely difficult to feel sorry for the Ospreys at the moment. I didn't really want them to win before-hand, and after 10mins of the game was practically hoping for a heavy defeat so there'd be more chance of a majour shake-up in the backroom staff. I do feel sorry for the players that put their all into every game and deserve better from the players around them and the coaching staff. Players like Shane Williams, Richard Hibbard, Adam Jones, Alun-Wyn (certainly can't fault his effort), Tipuric, Fussell (although was guilty of a big mistake today). Not sure I'd put Tommy Bowe in that list, as his recent performances have been poor, with unforced knock ons a regular occurance, but he's been awesome for the O's, so he certainly deserves much better. Good on Hook, Byrne etc. for abandoning ship and wanting better for themselves, I think it'll really show in a year or so time when they are back playing with a smile on their face for a tight-knit and well managed team. I would sack the lot behind the scenes (namely Hore, Johnson and Holley), and bring in someone who won't be afraid to shake things up. Someone like Kingsley Jones comes across as a fair, but with a strong character and with decent experience. Seriously, who else would put up with a player like Biggar, a petulant child who offers nothing to the team. Who else would have wasted the talent of Hook in favour of Biggar. There was a time when I rated Biggar highly, but his game has regressed so much from what it was when he was a 17 year old. Although he comes across as a self confident person, I think at the moment it's all show, and he's actually extremely low on confidence. [/QUOTE]
