I hope we are at least approaching him.

Good shout - he is a class player at AIL level, maybe the step up to pro might be a stretch, but you're right we've had plenty of messers on the books over the years that aren't as good as him..Tighthead Prod wrote:The one player who stood out for me was none of the aforementioned; rather it was the Bann centre Morrison who was excellent, especially in attack, where his strong and elusive running posed problems every time he had the ball. I know nothing about him or whether he was ever approached to be in '' the Ulster set-up', but to my mind Ulster have paid money to a lot worst!!!
Morrison is a class act. How he wasn’t picked up for an academy spot was a travesty.Columbo wrote:Good shout - he is a class player at AIL level, maybe the step up to pro might be a stretch, but you're right we've had plenty of messers on the books over the years that aren't as good as him..Tighthead Prod wrote:The one player who stood out for me was none of the aforementioned; rather it was the Bann centre Morrison who was excellent, especially in attack, where his strong and elusive running posed problems every time he had the ball.

Unpaid is one thing but how about taking a day of work, to travel to away game, then sit on the bench unused, then repeat. It would'nt take many of those in a row to make you feel a mug. Mind you when you see Hond togged out at Scarlets obviously getting paid, it's not the players who are the real mugs.ulster32 wrote: There was chat at the start of the season Ulster were looking at Peter Cromie and Morrison. Peter Cromie made several A appearances, and was asked to train with Ulster unpaid for a period of time to which he told them to shove it! How they’d expect someone to train full time unpaid Is beyond me.
In fairness I would most likely have selected Farrell and Arnold ahead of Morrison for the Academy. My point is that in the interim period Ulster has given contracts to the likes of Mark Best and Callum Patterson, who are definitely no better than him.kingofthehill wrote:Morrison is a class act.

Anyway at least Ulster have Arnold and Farrell instead........

That wasn’t my point. If your good enough then you should be in the academy.Tighthead Prod wrote:In fairness I would most likely have selected Farrell and Arnold ahead of Morrison for the Academy.

The sausage industry will thank us later.
Leave our Willie and Chris alone, they coach RSA and City of Armagh and have a wee production line of youth going also in club minis all working together in the same direction.Tighthead Prod wrote:Well done to Armagh ...a great result for a team with no players involved in the Ulster set-up beating a team in which about half had played for the Senior Ulster or A Teams this season
Maybe UR should have selected Willie Faloon rather than Soper
