Re: Next NIQ
Why not keep McKinney? Resigning NOC after 1 year when he wasn't good enough before is a bad move. McKinney could have sat on the bench behind PJ and we'd have 2 youngsters with bags of potential fighting it out for the shirt. Instead we bring in a guy who at best was solid and at worst soul destroying.
We will be weaker.

Re: Next NIQ
McKinney's a better prospect than N'OC. Thought he was impressive with the medallion side that played Leinster ones... strange one, unless there's subterfuge afoot. But JB's right- Tele gives McGlocks saying PJ, Ruan and Olding, which is interesting.

McKinney has potential, lots of it. Will he develop that potential waiting for both Paddy and Ruan to get injured? No!
The guy is going to develop his career by getting game time. As it stands he wouldn't even make the 23 unless Paddy and or Ruan are injured or away.......

Re: Next NIQ
Don't we though? I have lost count of the number of posts I have made saying NOC isn't just coming, he's already signed on the dotted line and yet chube after chube keeps ignoring the facts.Snipe Watson wrote: We need a remedial class for slow learners on this site..............![]()

FFS Snipe just think of what its going to be like when the back row signing is announced. I predict blood letting, wailing, gnashing of teeth and perhaps a few numpties reducing the overall numpty numbers in Ulster. WHHHHHHHHHHHAT, HIM??? FFS.
If its who I've heard whispered many will be bowing at the feet of KOTH and saying "Feck, were you right your majesty? My flabber is gasted." .................. because mine is definitely aghast, my whelm has never been tucked quite so far under & my expectations never quite so completely deflated. Frankly I am gutted at the thought of a thorough journeyman, at least there will be no national call ups to worry about.
Now that should be the prelude to a shitstorm

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: Next NIQ
If it ends up NOC and a less than impressive NIQ journeyman I'll be disappointed but also surprised.
Why the big secret baggy / gary spill the beans.

I can't-but what I will say is, don't get your hopes up on a big name!

Re: Next NIQ
If it's Nick Williams, as I've heard elsewhere, I'll be incredibly annoyed at the IRFU over losing Wannenburg. Although I'd be annoyed if we signed another 8. Wilson/Diack- Henry can move over there too. We need a flanker.
But I suspect much of our budget to replace Wannenburg has been taken up by Wilson meaning we're going to see a less glamourous name being announced.

Re: Next NIQ
Nick Williams of Aironi?
He's the polar opposite of Wannenburg. A lazy sod.

Re: Next NIQ
Glamourous or not, is he of decent quality who has the right attitude and won't shy away from the hard and dirty stuff? Is he going to fit in?
I don't necessarily need glamourous ... I can cope with a Brussouw or Alberts!!!
Or is it more like uncle Albert???
