Beck off...
... to Worcester Warriors. With Scott Williams arriving probably not a huge blow for the Ospreys, but a good servant of the region none the less.

Re: Beck off...
I am dissapointed for Beck ...I guess he has accepted that his chances for Wales are gone through whatever reason ..injury or playing style. I wish him good luck and great success with his new club. I don't think he will be the last to be exiting from the Ospreys for next season

Re: Beck off...
Real shame that injuries have impacted on what could've been a stellar career.
He's really the complete centre talent wise.

Re: Beck off...
Shame, Wales are just not interested in him and he knows it.
I guess he could have gambled on the post-Gatland management, but it's an understandable decision.
Hope he goes well (and stays fit).

He never stays fit long enough to be selected, quite how he will fair in the more physical Premiership I don't know.Son of Mathonwy wrote:Shame, Wales are just not interested in him and he knows it.

You could say Warburton is never fit long enough to be selected... except that he does get selected (....and rightly so).Numbers wrote:He never stays fit long enough to be selected, quite how he will fair in the more physical Premiership I don't know.Son of Mathonwy wrote:Shame, Wales are just not interested in him and he knows it.

Beck is a borderline player. It's not a crime that he hasn't been selected recently, but I think he could have been a useful member of the squad (again).
I guess it's only a two year contract, and at the moment no one can shine with the Ospreys. So good luck to him.

Re: Beck off...
Beck has rarely had more than a handful of games before injury which is unfortunate as I think he has a lot to offer when he if fully fit, unfortunately he hardly ever is, this is quite possibly a matter of timing, I'm sure he would have had a look in in the Autumn had he not been injured.Son of Mathonwy wrote:You could say Warburton is never fit long enough to be selected... except that he does get selected (....and rightly so).Numbers wrote:He never stays fit long enough to be selected, quite how he will fair in the more physical Premiership I don't know.Son of Mathonwy wrote:Shame, Wales are just not interested in him and he knows it.

I hope he can find form and consistency at Worcester, I just think that going to a more attritional league when he has constant injury issues is perhaps not the best career move for him.
The comparison with Sam Warburton doesn't warrant comment.
