have you not been watching Ulster Rugby over the last few seasons, it is standard fare, a youngster gets 15 minutes, does well and is let go, sure it's the Ulster Waytherealspratt wrote:What the hell? How the heck can that be allowed to happen?
This is particularly odd considering he's still only 2 years into his academy contract.scrum5 wrote:have you not been watching Ulster Rugby over the last few seasons, it is standard fare, a youngster gets 15 minutes, does well and is let go, sure it's the Ulster Waytherealspratt wrote:What the hell?

If true, sounds like a better offer with a better team.therealspratt wrote:This is particularly odd considering he's still only 2 years into his academy contract.scrum5 wrote:have you not been watching Ulster Rugby over the last few seasons, it is standard fare, a youngster gets 15 minutes, does well and is let go, sure it's the Ulster Waytherealspratt wrote:What the hell?

Baggy baby, young Hall is a flanker. Ulster have been crying out for man-bating, baby-eating forwards who'd take you up the wrong'un sans-lube if you turned their back on them.BaggyTrousers wrote:May I remind people that players are not tied serfs and enjoy the same rights of freedom of movement that any European person from within the EU does. I've seen nothing much of him, have no idea if he'll be great or shyte, so if Embra are happy to take a punt and offer him a lot more than Ulster, there is really very little to be done.
I would also remind you that very very few of those who have left have prospered, I think of young Scholes and the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Did he come back a better player? What would have happened to Stockdale if Scholes had stayed?
Point in time decisions are made, occasionally they make people look stupid but damned seldom.
My point Crouchie is that I don't know if he's good enough and the wider point is that we cannot afford to jack up the incomes of the entire academy in the hope that they will come through in vast numbers. Judgement calls on young players are bloody tough and if he has been made an offer that pays him a living wage good luck to him.thecrouch wrote:Baggy baby, young Hall is a flanker.

Is Hall a tough as nails, mexican-smashing forward? Who knows at this stage. But he is at least a forward and deserves more of a shot. It would be a disgrace to lose him before he even gets a proper go at Ulster.
