The UAFC

I wonder if Dalton might struggle to climb back up the pecking order when he's back, shine came off him a bit at the u20s world cup.

Sounds like D4 has its own ideas about what A games should be used for.

McFarland appears to have other ideas about how to use the A squad.

Finally the A coaches and players may have the ridiculous idea that the idea is to win their games.

From looking at the Munster, Connacht and Leinster A sides that would appear to be correct. No NIQ present.

Is Schalk assigned to a club? How's he meant to get game time?

He missed much of last season with a foot injury, has to be frustrating for the guy.

Seems odd to designate a player as a project and disqualify him.

As for his club, I understand it`s the Ulster Farmers Union.

SVM is simply a waste of money and a contract.. whatever I simply don’t understand why we don’t have a clause
to have already got rid... we are now trying to flog him off and guess what no one apart from Clogher Valley 2nds want him so big money down the drain..

Daltons problem is his own head and if he doesn’t sort himself out and prioritise the opportunity he has to move beyond being a Ashton he will only have himself to blame..

Kane, TOT, and Eric OSullivan all look the part propwise. Kane is the best of the 3 ito technique. One more bolter loosehead and we'll have some real future depth. We defo dont need RAY or SVDM. Add in McBurney and we're looking good in 2 years time front row wise.

What's he done

Is that fact CI man or a joke?

Always had and still do have a soft spot for big Caldie, he's a buck eejit but a good guy. Cannot help but feel management let down Caldwell and not the other way around. If he had of had the arm around the shoulder he would have been great.

That Dalton also has the handling skills of a trout doesn't help either as well as not being a terribly dynamic carrier in the loose.

Ryan lots of Brawn but a severe shortage of brains with an unfortunate gait which was unmissable by referees --a penalty machine .
