We should be busting our holes to get a world class fly half, but we won't
As usual we have a bunch of talented backs wasted behind a rubbish pack (chock full of Leinster rejects) and a 2nd rate 10

Yeah, much as I like Billy - mainly for his effort, his kicking from hand which is often inventive, his courage and his obvious dedication to staying on the pitch when used as a speed bump, we do need better.
I'd go out on a limb and say we could do worse than Paddy Jackson and/or Stu Olding, preferably both....but then people might accuse me of being rooted in 2018 when I was yet to get my state pension from Betty.
The fact is the FIRFUCs not only ruined the guy's careers but they ruined Ulster when those guys were getting to the peak of their ability, Jackson was a better player than Sexton in season 2017-18 but had to overcome not playing in blue or having a soft brogue or not having been to the right Dublin school.
Speaking of "Ruined" their next heinous act was to tell Ruan to bugger off whilst renewing the contract of Isa Nacewa who was fully 2 years old than Ruan. Don't let the bollix about producing your own 9 fool you, don't let "Cooney has been great" fool you, they took the decision to leave Ulster bereft and Cooney was not in the decision, that happened after the fact that they blew up Ulster and left us with the likes of Small p & Shanners.
I'm not Jesus, so I'll never forgive, never forget. Or to paraphrase Big Ian in Spanish: NUNCA, NUNCA, NUNCA
I'll be astonished if we get a temp replacement for Marty or any signing worth a damn barring The Red Menace, possibly the best all-round Loosie playing rugby today. I will be more than happy to be proved wrong.
