What becomes clear?
Jamison Gibson-Park will be a year in as a project player, so the IQ qualified scrum half can wait a year.

No, that's not Maths, that's gibberish.
Who is this IQ 9 in the ITM?

Cracker, was it you by any chance who started the Big Stu to no.6 shemozzle?

Just asking ................maybe it was Ron'n.

No Baggy. I don't usually post nonsense. By the way Lyttle sounds pretty good to me.

Ok, I just don't see a guy who is a capped international leaving his best/preferred position in search of a wing and a prayer that he might be great in another position. Rugby is not littered with such moves, though quite a few have moved between centre and 10.

The French experience of thinking 9 & 10 are interchangeable has flopped without exception.

Austin Healy was and is a Bellend but could play both scrum and wing. Lyttle is our saviour.

That is true also, we too have wee-p who has filled in on the wing in a injury crisis, I seem to recall Irish 9 John Maloney doing similar, but that is pretty much a move that swift 9s can make occasionally.

As for that get Healy, I believe him to have been overrated as a 9, I think his overconfidence lured a few to into believing the hype. He was a fast but modest player.

I still hope to see Healy perish under the wheels of a pantechnicon before my own imminent demise. >threaten

the chat seems to be this boy Stewart is to be the real deal and Ulster/Ireland see him as the future. I heard they will spend this season trying to bulk him up, let him play limited amount of rugby so he is ready for next season.

Ian Humphreys once of this parish dealt with Healy, cant find the footage but it was a joy to behold

Er so we have a potential scrum half who will spend a year eating lots and then potentially will be our starting 9 next season ?

Sounds like a plan to me.....

A crap plan, but a plan nevertheless.

If that's our plan next season then we're just adding to the problem.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

I'd say the most likely scheme is that he'll sit on the bench behind Cooney or Marshall.
