Will anyone consider moving on then?
All Little Joey wanted in life was to be the next Rob Kearney. Then Joe and David came along and told him that they wanted him to be the one thing Little Joey didn't want to be - the next Ian Madigan. Little Joey took his time agreeing – and didn’t want to do it at all if it meant moving to Belfast - but eventually signed on the dotted line and obediently trotted off to Munster to ready himself for his supporting role in next year’s World Cup.
Now Joe and David appear to have conjured an Irishman out of thin air, who might just provide a better option come next year, if Little Joey doesn’t pull his finger out.
Little Joey must be feeling a little bit confused and used this morning.
...who gives a sh*t?
Not so much about Joey’s feelings this morning, more about the fact that, unlike Joey, I think we have emerged from this whole business in a reasonably decent position.
We’re not facing the prospect of spending a season watching him learn on the job, and we’ve not agreed to mop up Munster’s mediocre out half overspill. We’ve also been spared the arrival of a big name player with a big price tag but a declining reputation.
Instead, we appear to have signed a player who has solid experience but who also has something to prove, and something to gain if he proves it.
Not the outcome many of us wanted a few weeks ago, but not one of the outcomes we’ve dreaded, either.
