I think he could become a bit of a cult hero With the crowd. Player wise he’s very combative, great aggressive attitude to boot. He’s a good un for me.
Frankly does anyone have a definitive squad for next season? WK has that utility side to him, which is likely needed with our injury profile.

He's the type of player who could be a real cult hero.

I like him and I'm sure he will be popular but it's just such a weird signing. Who looked at our roster (and production line) and said, do you know what we need? A wing. Instead of a no 3,5,7,9 and most especially a 10. Those are all positions of almost, if not actual, crisis. But someone decided to hire a wing where we have frankly plenty of options

Stockdale(patchy form).... Baloucoune (Injury prone / patchy form)..... McIlroy (Had a bad injury this year)..... Moxham (Currently out long term)..... Sexton (10 senior appearances and 4 starts in 3.5 seasons, maybe he is not good enough?).....

Let’s not forget Lowry who has played once on each wing this season and scored three tries!

I wouldn't say plenty of options but more pressing needs elsewhere!

Kok is 4 years older than Rob Lyttle and undoubtedly more expensive than him, yet we released him last year.
Meanwhile at 4, 8 and 10...

He retired because we didn't offer him a decent deal to stay.

Apparently NIQ salaries are paid from a separate pot v the money given to the provinces so if it did happen the money would go direct to the IRFU.
Of course they could then pass some/all of it to Ulster to purchase additional IQ players OR fund another NIQ signing.
Lots of ifs and buts.

I see the BT have regurgitated the SK rumour.
Wouldn’t a decent journalist have been questioning the “customary” contractual clause (the exact nature of which is not clear from the article) that seems to have previously passed me by in a rather long time reading about sport.
Will Liverpool face a mass exodus when Klopp buggers off in the summer?
Would SK have been so worried about Dan, that renowned leader of men and scrum guru, departing that he’d insist upon such a clause?
If the Stormers really have a pot of cash then things get interesting because the prospect of us/the IRFU pocketing a few rand, as well as saving the salary, is worth a conversation.

it’s probably more a case of cost cutting as much as anything else

Jackman suggesting Ulster should pursue AJ MacGinty if SK does head back home
