To be fair he's done well for Gloucester, and seemed to have a lot of pride in his shirt.

He played well during the 6N at 12, but he was always going to be hard pressed for a spot with Eliota back, and Sharples/May etc. vying for wing spots
 
^ True. Most people have only seen him play pants for England, but I think he's been strong for Gloucester, and was incredible for the Bradford Bulls. If he'd have come to union years earlier, he could have had a real crack at it..

It makes sense for Gloucester at this point though. He's probably our 5th-choice winger and we could do with the money spent elsewhere.

That would be awesome. Always been impressed when I've seen him play, but he's being overlooked for Wales at the moment. Hopefully it's the Blues or Dragons.

Don't think he'd be keen for the Dragons because they cancelled the deal on him and went for New Zealand's Ali McKenzie instead. Saracens jumped in and offered him a deal and the rest is history as they say. He is unlikely to end up at the Ospreys.
 
Hopefully he goes to the Blues then, because they're in need of a decent backup to Jenkins. Yapp just doesn't cut it. Can Gill play on both sides of the scrum, I can't remember?
 
Are the Blues stuck for money or is this a result of the WRUs new salary cap? Roberts, Jenkins and Laulala would be great signings for any team. Laulala moving to Munster would instantly improve their below par midfield.
 
Roberts has spoken of his desire to play abroad, but not until he graduates med school, so perhaps in another season or two.
Laulala is definately off from what I have heard (based on recent form, Cardiff will be glad!).
Owen Williams and Corey Allen are to big centres who could fill in. Williams has done well with the Sevens, and Allen will be involved with the U20's this year I would imagine.

Laulala's poor form coincidentally coincides with Parks arriving at the Blues. It really is crazy to see just how far behind the advantage line the Blues backline are in attack when Parks plays. Laulala's main strength is his quick feet and offloading in tight spaces. He cannot get either part of his game going 10m behind the gainline.
 
Laulala's passing and offloading have simply been dire. He makes these breaks and just doesn't connect with supporting runners. As poor as Sweeney is, he can at least play with a full backline. Hopefully Halfpenny's goalkicking continues to improve and there will be little need for Parks. Patchell could come through in a few seasons, but I thought Cardiff should have made a move for Steven Shingler until then.
 
Other names to appear in the "mill" are Adam jones......definately off to France as is AWJ and possibly Ryan Jones, Stowers unlikely to be extended. while at the Scarlets they will battle to Keep JD2 and fail but will keep North.
