Just putting together a list. Will try to keep this updated.
Ospreys:
Dan Biggar (offered)
Alun-Wyn Jones (offered)
Dan Lydiate (9/12/2014)
Rhys Webb (offered)
Dragons:
Taulupe Faletau (offered)
Tyler Morgan (26/12/2014)
Hallam Amos (26/12/2014)
Scarlets:
Scott Williams (offered)
Samson Lee (offered)
Rhodri Jones (26/12/2014)
Blues:
Gareth Anscombe (offered)
Sam Warburton (22/09/2014)
Alex Cuthbert (offered)
What does everyone think of the first batch of players? I think it's strange that guys like Amos and Morgan are being signed up before guys like Tipuric and Ball. My guess is that as part of the negotiations in establishing these contracts, the WRU had to agree to dual contracting similar numbers of players from each region? I think that if this were the case, it may point to that the WRU will try to bring overseas players (eg Owen Williams, Jonathan Davies) to the Dragons, in order to meet the quota of Dragons players signed up, whilst contracting players already at the other regions. This was probably why they wanted Lydiate at the Dragons so much!
