Jenkins Questions Regions Motives

Jenkins believes that other regions had "inside knowledge" and were waiting to pick up the peices.

"We had done our transfer deals by last January because we realised the importance of recruitment,".

" Other regions seemed to be waiting for the demise of the Warriors, there seemed to be information out there that other regions were aware of and we didn't have access to.

The coach who appeared a near certainty to take over as Wales coach, untill Mike Ruddocks' shock appointment, believes that the Scarlets' have still managed to get value for their money this summer.

" Finances are difficult. We need to consolidate with what we have got this year and see where this squad can take us.

" I've been very pleased with new recruits Andy Powell, Gavin Thomas and Matthew Rees, whilst Arwel Thomas has only played two games in 11 months.

" It's too early to measure the squad, but we can look at things again in December and then in March and April."
