Therin lies the problem Husky, give Pedrie 1 year now and then they would not be allowed to give him another year.Husky wrote:If the IRFU would only allow us to give him a 1-year extension to his contract, then does that mean that they'll prevent us from replacing him with another imported back-rower? Thought these new restrictions weren't coming into place 'til the 2013/14 season.

Glad you think so Al, have you watched Wilson this season, he looks like his best days are past and he is here till he is almost 35.Big-al wrote:
He's a solid player, there are many better 8's out there than him. Whether or not Ulster can afford a better players is another thing though. Wilson is more than a capable replacement.

Re: Re: Pedrie leaving confirmed!
yes I have, Wilson has been as dependable as ever, just like Wannenburg and is by far the more effective ball carrier.Rooster wrote:Glad you think so Al, have you watched Wilson this season, he looks like his best days are past and he is here till he is almost 35.Big-al wrote:

Re: Pedrie leaving confirmed!
Does anyone think that Birch could become our first choice 7? Hard to judge for myself by what little I've seen of him, but on the rare occasions that I have, he seemed to be quite industrious. Perhaps not a lethal poacher as yet, but maybe that can be developed by Anscombe.

Re: Pedrie leaving confirmed!

Re: Pedrie leaving confirmed!
I'd sign him up in a heartbeat. You'd assume Glasgow would be trying their best to keep him.Cornerfleg wrote:Just asking was I overlooked or ignored for mentioning Barclay is out of contract at Glasgow????????

Doubt it. Pointless signing anyway, Rush is past his best and Wilson would start ahead of him, waste of a niq.

Anyone know if, say you have an NIQ 8, can you then sign an NIQ 6 (who "can" play?
