We need a big name player like Latham in our backline. Someone with the experience and ability to help the guys around him.

Wonder could we get him and young Mortlock in a package deal?

He's undoubtedly the best fullback in the game at the moment and if he's on the market Ulster should definitely have a crack at him. Debatable whether the IRUPA would sanction it as that would mean we'd have 5 non-irish qualified players in our backline though...

Thats a point, can't see it happening since we have the likes of Dewie, Steiney and Bart!

We could always thin out the Aussie count by repatriating Harrison, Bartholomeusz and Pop Larkin. Put all the money in a big bag and send a bloke down to Oz to deliver the surplus 3 and bring back Latham.

The important bits from that article..............

Meanwhile, there is speculation Latham has already signed to play with Ulster, which includes former Australia second-rower Justin Harrison.

Latham has made it known he was looking at playing overseas next year, although the ARU said he would be required by the Wallabies until the end of the Tri-Nations series.

Another 'report':

Maybe Chris is just trying to get the best deal possible from the home Union, always helps if you have another couple of 'offers' on the table in your employer negotiations!?

(Mind you, it is interesting to see in the photograph that he has already learned the 'Ulsterspeak' for 'what about-ye'...)

Hmmm... there are two major newspaper groups in Australia... Murdoch's New International and the Fairfax Group... NI own The Australian and Fairfax has the Sydney Morning Herald and others... if one of these papers prints a rumour, the other paper immediately tries to disprove or rubbish it!
