An inside centre has signed to play for the Prem team next season. He's come from Ebbw Vale.
Anybody know who chose him, who signed him and who is in charge of this kind of thing?
Phil means Shaun Powell the centre from Ebbw Vale who is playing on licence tonight and has signed to play for Cardiff next season

Following Cardiff RFC all over from sunny Bournemouth in Blue and Black
Phil Osbourne off to Pontypridd I'm told. Anyone able to provide confirmation?
Hands OFF
Veater has not been offered a contract for 2010/11, according to him on Facebook.
To try to clear up the usual speculation at this time of the season the situation regarding contracts is as follows:-
Matthew Veater,like most of the squad was offered a contract but due to budgetary constraints we were unable to match his expectations.
Most of the squad have signed but some are still outstanding.
New additions will be revealed once the coaching team have finalised their squad.
Players leaving for new clubs are:-
Jake Thomas
Phil Osborne
Gareth Chapman
Garry Horrigan
There may be others once the squad is finalised.
We wish all players who are leaving every success in the future and thank them for their efforts on behalf of Cardiff RFC.
Finally I can confirm that Richard Hodges has been appointed as Head Coach with effect from 1st June.

Matthew Veater
Would love to have stayed, but not even an offer!!
My time with the blue and blacks was great and I will look forward to coming back to play against the boys and catch up with you all.
Cheers Veats
As our forum members are doubtless aware, this forum has been sponsoring Matthew Veater, now that he's leaving we'll have to consider who the forum want to sponsor next season.
As soon as the squad has been finalised I'll put up a poll of the presently unsponsored players and give you all a vote !
Perhaps Ian or Keith can keep us updated with the player sponsorship details when they have been finalised.
To anyone thinking about sponsorship, please come on board, if you can't afford to sponsor a player as an individual, consider getting together with your friends and doing a "group" sponsorship.
Jim Trigg was a sponsor so this coming season there will be some extra players seeking sponsorship.
Vote for Tabs!!
I will keep you updated as much as I can

If your friends dont like rugby ....get new friends!
