Wilson shoudn't be in the situation he is, 25-30 minutes per week coming off the bench to see out games is where he should be.
Ulster lack of back row talent has meant the old horse is being flogged.
and someone should have seen that coming from a distance… Henry was injured and need eased back, Williams was going and Roger was 46 with 756 appearances and we needed that filled. I know nothing grows on trees but with this in mind we signed a world class winger albeit one dumped by the AB's and had time to let him play at Wasps for a year then signed a seriously injured BOK who may just be back by February. I still feel we could have pressured D4 more to release one of Leinster's back-row players if even short term.
and yes it isn't Rogers fault he is an Ulsterman through and through..
Is this the same Roger than when things were getting tough he cleared of to Northampton???

Yep gave them his best years, like Bowe to the Tosspreys. Players like Trimby and R.Best stayed to see it through.

Yip first thing came into my head. UR forgot some of us fans actually watch other rugby on TV and have access to Super Rugby on Sky.
Also goes on about the brilliant atmosphere and fans. None of the matches since he arrived have had a great atmosphere. Last 5 mins of Exeter was an improvement but has been much better. This is also free advertising for UR to promote people getting along to the "Kingspan" for a "match night experience".
Has he said how much his missus loves Belfast yet?

Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.

I've seen less scripted interviews on North Korean tv

Dave if you've managed to evade North Korean defences and snipe behind enemy lines you should be playing for us next week.

Think I'll wait till Marcell plays half a dozen games before I start having a gripe at him, so what if it's scripted, we're moaning now just for the sake of it...... Edinburgh up next time to move on, how many games has Scholes played so far

We forget Marcel is still a very young player and still developing his ball skills.
At the sharks Marcel carried the ball the maximum distance to the deck too often.
He has the ability to make more very quick short carries if he works on running with his head up, looking for the offload and working on his passing game.
Ulster have a light footed pack and playing in this system will make him a more all rounded player.
When I was a youth i was a big Sophie Marceau fan!
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

The issue with a NIQ arriving injured is that it's a much bigger hit for us than a project or IQ player. With a NIQ player we have a limited window to take advantage of their skills.
Jared for example was a fantastic signing, despite losing him for the guts of the first year. UR was also relayed in kind for loyalty to him with the contracts he has signed. With the RP situation we know that NIQ extensions are going to be limited.
Marcell I am very excited to see in the red and white, but I'm very glad he is on a 3 year contract, otherwise we would already be in a position where his signing might be a mistake.

You are a fine judge if French womanhood Santa, what we in Nirth Doon call a stoater.
Yaaaa Coetzee will mean there are 2 guys in the back row with some sort of energy, that's twice as much as at present.
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.

No guarantees Eggs, but with the comparative wealth of back row options in Ireland I'd say there might be every chance Marcell could get a further contract........ if he's mad in the head and we aren't broke.

We can but hope for an addiction to Ulster Frys, Tayto and a qwer mug a Te. If we keep up this current standard of Rabbit in Headlights Mediocrity, he'll be seeing out his contract and moving on to greener pastures.
By February, we could be having our end of season dinner.
