Anyhow ... O’Toole now out & missing the Junior RWC. Not sure how bad his knee is but a shame for him. Would’ve been a good experience for him.

Just looking at our current playing squad, if we had a match this weekend and could only play fit players who will be in the squad next year we wouldn't have a heck of a lot more than a match day 23 available.

Some of the young lads will swim when thrown into the deep end but it's going to be painful watching the others.

I wonder is it a sign of things to come ... he was playing because he was “the least injured”?Rooster wrote:You would have to wonder should O'Toole have been playing on Sunday if that is the leg he had heavily strapped that is injuredBring Humph On!! wrote:We know you e really settled Baggy when you start referring to those who rub you the wrong way as “putas” ... although if a puta rubbed you the wrong way ....

I have no idea of any truth to this, purely speculating.

There is no point getting rid of daves to fill the squad back up again with new daves.

Re: Ulster Squad 2018/19
I heard on the telly at the weekend that Leinster has used 55 players this season. Albeit they have hugely more international calls, how we expect to get by with less than 40 is beyond my ken, especially when the A/Ravens are playing the same weekend.BR wrote:Unsustainable!BaggyTrousers wrote:Poor Louis has the same injury that finished POC, the ligament off the bone. Poor Luke, that's NHL to you, ballixes ACL. Both likely to be out for much if not all of the season.
This 41 man squad looking somewhat shallow at present and no word of what Deysel's situation is and of course.... the great imponderable, Marvell. 39, at best and that includes Hond FFFS.
If I were an academy player or Darren Cave bid be expecting a lot of game minutes. If I were a decent AIL player, I'd be thinking, houl'on here, I could be getting a call, A team at least, or Ravens as the committee still think they are called.
Of course, I suppose all you Nordies know all that already.

Presumably the As won't play the same weekend.

Re: Ulster Squad 2018/19
Just imagine this scenario, John Cooney called up for the AIs - as befits his talent - Janny Junior injured, McCloskey pulls a fetlock and Cave is off on his own training without even the two young gentlemen for company.
Question: can Will Addison, if he's fit, cover 3/4 positions simultaneously?
As for the A team not playing the same weekends, I assume that is a wee joke?

I'd have guessed the A games may be scheduled mid week and around the few existing breaks.BaggyTrousers wrote:Just imagine this scenario, John Cooney called up for the AIs - as befits his talent - Janny Junior injured, McCloskey pulls a fetlock and Cave is off on his own training without even the two young gentlemen for company.

Re: Ulster Squad 2018/19
We can probably assume that with a strong tour party off to Oz, including those that toured with the Lions last summer, that those players nailed on to be going to the RWC will be getting extensive rest during the season. Taking into account AI’s, 6 Nations & Carton House get togethers would it be beyond the realms of possibility that we will be without Best, Hendy, the Interceptor & possibly Cooney for the guts of 50% of our games?BaggyTrousers wrote:Just imagine this scenario, John Cooney called up for the AIs - as befits his talent - Janny Junior injured, McCloskey pulls a fetlock and Cave is off on his own training without even the two young gentlemen for company.

Strangely, of the 4 it’s probably Cooney we’d miss most.
