Since the departure of their highly rated Director of Rugby, David Young, to Wasps in 2011, the capital city region has bounced from one calamity to another.<br \/>\nHere <em>Cardiffian <\/em>rugby writer Steffan Thomas gives his view on what the Blues need to do in order to become competitive once again.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><u>Quality over quantity<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\nGlancing briefly over the Blues\u2019 squad, the names Gethin Jenkins, Sam Warburton, Rhys Patchell and Lloyd Williams catch the eye, leading to the conclusion that perhaps the Blues have underachieved.<br \/>\nHowever, on closer inspection, there are quite frankly far too many poor players within the Blues squad. Every successful club and provincial side have a core group of solid clubmen behind their contingent of front line international players.<br \/>\nBut this is not the case at the Arms Park, with \u00a0Head Coach Danny Wilson having inherited a squad of 60 players, many of whom just aren\u2019t up to the standards required to compete both domestically and in Europe.<br \/>\nGive credit to Wilson, he has already identified this as an issue that needs urgent attention, with the former Scarlets coach expected to assemble a smaller, tighter squad with more quality in preparation for next season.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7856 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bothteams1-300x122.jpg\" alt=\"Bothteams\" width=\"388\" height=\"158\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7856 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bothteams1-300x122.jpg\" alt=\"Bothteams\" width=\"388\" height=\"158\" \/><\/noscript><br \/>\n<strong><u>Recruitment<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWith only a finite amount of money available in Welsh rugby, the Blues need to choose their signings far more wisely than in recent seasons.<br \/>\nSo far this season the Blues\u2019 pack of forwards have struggled to gain a foothold in games with their lack of possession being a major weakness.<br \/>\nClose analysis of match statistics this season show that the Blues more often than not have less possession than their opposition. Last Thursday against Harlequins they were only able to secure 45 per cent of the possession, with 39 per cent against Munster and a mere 33 per cent against both Zebre and Leinster.<br \/>\nIt is clear then that the Blues board must target the signings of some top class forwards. A quality tight-head prop to anchor the scrum, at least two grafting locks, and a ball carrying number eight are a must in terms of recruitment.<br \/>\nThe Blues squad is also short on leaders with Wilson\u2019s side resembling a fragile mess on more than one occasion this season. They must not only consider the quality of any player they are signing but his leadership potential.<br \/>\nThe Blues would do well to remember the impact that Kiwi lock Paul Tito, and All Blacks number eight Xavier Rush had on and off the field during David Young\u2019s tenure in charge.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Xavier_Rush.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-7853 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Xavier_Rush-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Xavier_Rush\" width=\"275\" height=\"413\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7853 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Xavier_Rush-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Xavier_Rush\" width=\"275\" height=\"413\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><u>Faith in youth<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>The Blues would also do well to put more faith in youth ahead of next season.<br \/>\nAs has already been mentioned there are far too many players closer to the standard of the semi-professional Welsh Premiership than the Pro 12.<br \/>\nIt would be of far more benefit in the long run if the Blues put faith in their Wales under 20\u2019s contingent such as hooker Liam Belcher, fly half Jarrod Evans and scrum half Tomos Williams among others.<br \/>\nThere may be some pain to begin with but in the long run this would inevitably create a far more vibrant squad full of players with greater potential than they currently have in their squad.<br \/>\nTake the Ospreys and Scarlets, while neither are able to consistently compete with European rugby\u2019s superpowers due to financial limitations, both stay reasonably competitive due to the players produced from their academies.<br \/>\nThere is far more quality in both the Ospreys and Scarlets squads, with their faith in youth allowing them to be competitive in the Pro 12 at least \u2013 an example that the Blues could learn from.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Patchellkick1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7857\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Patchellkick1-300x122.jpg\" alt=\"Patchellkick\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7857\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Patchellkick1-300x122.jpg\" alt=\"Patchellkick\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><u>Danny Wilson<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>Head Coach Danny Wilson has only been at the helm for a matter of months, with most of the deep-rooted problems facing the Blues pre-dating his arrival.<br \/>\nWilson is well respected within rugby circles, with a reputation as a set-piece expert whose attention to detail is often praised. He must therefore be afforded a minimum of two seasons to turn around the fortunes of an ailing Blues region.<br \/>\nIt is also vitally important that the Blues board fully support the former hooker in his efforts, while also allowing him the luxury of appointing his own backroom staff, which is something t.hat hasn&#8217;t happened so far.<br \/>\nGiven the financial restrictions facing the Welsh regions it is always going to be an uphill battle to compete with European rugby\u2019s big spenders.<br \/>\nHowever, a few structural changes and the Blues should at the very least become competitive in the Guinness Pro 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; THERE was a time when the name Cardiff was synonymous with success, with the Blues having qualified for three Heineken Cup quarter-finals and a semi-final between 2007 to 2012, and lifted the 2009 EDF Energy Cup.
