Indeed, someone at Ulster is a Family Guy fan.

From Twitter

"BREAKING NEWS

I have been informed by a source whom I trust that Ulster Rugby gave Stuart McCloskey permission to look around for another club to join but then pulled the plug at the last minute"

Neil, makes no sense at all. Time for Petrie and Cunningham to leave!
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!

I had heard everything was agreed but then Ulster went back to Bayonne looking for more compensation for the final year of the contract than had previously been agreed, maybe that’s where it all broke down.

Total shambles.

He’s going nowhere. What has changed in the last 2-3 weeks?

I hope I’m proved wrong about this but a very meh signing, half decent player but nothing special, gets attention disproportionately because of his wacky hair imo

Always thought of him as a nightmare to play against, full blooded every time I see him. Can't be faulted for effort which is a start I suppose

But this is Ulster.

Can we be sure that when Bryn was sent to the shops for a player he was told to bring back a Vincent Koch but came back with a Werner Kok.

Werner Kok is a great player both sides the ball, I think he’s a terrific signing. Truthfully I would’ve preferred we’d held onto Rob Little but I’d take either over showboat Stockdale, his one trick pony, chip and chase, and his lollipop lady defence.
Ohhh have I said too much?

I'm pleased with the signing.

Any time I've seen him he's been physical in defence and a real threat in attack, always playing with passion.

When Stockdale gets the ball my heart is in my mouth and I dread to see what will unfold, so can see the attraction with a safe pair of hands.

He usually plays on the other wing to Stockdale.

It’ll be Baloucoune’s place under most risk.

Is he injured yet? If not he'll probably fall going down the steps of the plane

Actually I’m doing a bit of a 180 on this.. graceless way to welcome any new player to Ulster - but also describing him as just ‘half decent’ is very unfair, he is a cracking little player, proper grafter as well and as has been pointed out a solid poach threat.. consider my words eaten
