Pre Season Games 2022/23

[StandUp]

Good to see Izzy back too.

Anybody know what sort of team Exter are sending? Similar to ours I assume, rather then a full blown first fifteen.

Been doing some hard-core marines stuff in pre season.

Not named yet, they are playing Cornish Pirates on the Friday night also.

Santa caps and flegs are ready. Let the season begin.

Honestly think Addison is a lost cause - yes KOTH I know you have a mancrush on him- and Luke is the past. I'm sure there must be one or two young centers ready to move up. Look at Humes progress. We need to trust in the kids- if that stupid SA tour goes ahead it's all we will have

Lukey last season showed enough to indicate that he's still got it.

Nothing agin the fella, but only Ulster would persist with Addison - now entering a 5th consecutive injury blighted season with only a paltry 26 appearances in the previous 4.

The last injury was a freak accident. Just incredibly unlucky.

I maybe do have a bit of man crush on him but I think it’s easy to forget how good he is (not was). Skills, evasion, aggression,running ability, defence…he has it all. I hope to see all that again when he’s back.

Postlewaite will replace Stu.

I think you could be right there KOTH watching him play for the U20s --his willingness to ruck was one of his greatest strong points --and essential part of 12 play when supporting an outside centre running with the ball --since the inside centre is one of the first to the breakdown. He is also a fairly physical player when in possession.

I not that sure Luke should be considered a yesterday man -- the fact is he has vision and skills which others lack.

Addison needs a long period of freedom from injury -- but his style of play I fear may deny that to him.

[Setanta]

I must admit I have always seen him as a 15 who can play elsewhere across the backline.

Mads at 12? What is the point in that? Likewise with Carter in any position.

Those were my thoughts too…
Perhaps they fear losing both Stu’s to the
Imbecilic Ridiculous Farcical Union tour of some sh1te teams, so they’ve asked Mads to fill in at 12??

I'm guessing but I expect Mads is at 12 to calm down and encourage Flannery at 10 and give the kid a chance to settle into the game - maybe take a bit of the responsibility off him etc. Very much a pre-season friendly tactic and not one you'd have the luxury of trying in a league game.

Stronger side playing ulster as expected. We might struggle up front in the first half.

I like their no 7. I bet he has a complex about people always being surprised to see him.
