Rhys Priestland says he's probably going to move to another club at the end of the season according to the Fail. I'm disappointed, frankly. He's a steadying influence on the team. Apparently, he sees his future in financial services.

Maybe they'll give Ben Thomas a chance at 10, he plays 1st receiver most of the time when he plays at 12 with Jarrod Evans at 10 anyway.

My instinct is that Thomas is more effective as a "2nd 5"; but it's certainly worth a try.

This could get really ugly. And to cap it all, with the recent allegations of sexism within the WRU then further disruption could occur if sponsors decide to step away.

Nicky Smith now the latest to be linked to a move away according to the Fail. No doubt agents and scouts are always looking at whether players are available, but as you say with the various issues around the game in Wales, regional players will probably be getting extra attention.

It makes sense for Nicky since he's being ignored by Wales. No so much sense for Adams.
