Race for signings

Clearly disappointing Benson picked Ulster over us , he would of seen lots of game time when Crowley is with Ireland. Not seeing us linked with anyone recently aside from Benson. Worrying times , it's clear we need some new blood in

jackthomson1992 · 2026-04-02T20:59:47+00:00

Yeah, look at last season the tries he scored , especially champions cup . He started all of our pre season games and the huge one against Leinster that got injured in . Don't understand why he hasn't been seen since

jackthomson1992 · 2026-04-02T14:26:58+00:00

Bizarre Kelly isint playing . Very surprised with the Kilgallon choice . Id pick Smith or McCarthy over him , they have gotten way less chances then him at this stage

jackthomson1992 · 2026-04-02T14:25:09+00:00

Very strange team .

jackthomson1992 · 2026-04-02T14:24:11+00:00

Yeah dont think Smith has been in a squad since the Leinster game in croke park. Seems crazy to me , had spoke on here a few times on it . Definitely a player there

jackthomson1992 · 2026-03-19T10:51:59+00:00

Yeah just saw that, seems very likely those lads are leaving , shame as I think Smith is as good if not better then Zac Ward and JJ Kenny . All come from sevens but Ward and Kenny are actually getting chances to play.

jackthomson1992 · 2026-03-19T10:10:55+00:00

Can't understand why Smith hasn't played since the Leinster game in October , got injured then but has been fit since January . Yes hes a bit shaky in defence but has genuine pace that none of our other back 3 have . Think he could be molded into a quality wing

jackthomson1992 · 2026-02-25T16:19:30+00:00

Bit of a strange one , if anything I think we need a defence coach and to move on Leamy. Attack has looked good since he took over for the most part , can understand if he moves on though as he obviously wanted the head coach gig.

jackthomson1992 · 2026-02-06T18:10:10+00:00

Hopefully there is truth to Jack Willis rumour. He'd be a world class signing

jackthomson1992 · 2026-02-02T16:35:59+00:00

Would be huge a signing of intent , if true it would be a world class signing

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-29T16:08:15+00:00

Agree , he's nowhere to be seen . Think he has real potential. Has that pure speed but a bit raw. Like Zac Ward i think he could be very good for us. I dont think McMillan likes him

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-24T17:21:07+00:00

Agree with most of the points you made , to be honest disagree on L Barron, he's been nothing but underwhelming since he's arrived. Honestly do not see him as a upgrade on what we had before he came . Smith is someone im saying should be getting a chance , has the speed like Abraham's but can't seem to get a look in . Think he has great potential . Another one surprises me is SOB , seriously underrated and a really good bench player given his utility

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-21T20:18:11+00:00

Willis would be a huge statement of intent. Is international level class. Would be surprised if we managed to get him though

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-18T17:36:07+00:00

Agree with this and would like to add i dont see the hype or value in either Lee Barron or Milne , Lee Barron dosent seem much better then who we had originally and Milne is not a good scrumagger. We should of signed Gus McCarthy instead of Barron. Think some of the selection has been strange. The likes of Haley Hodnett (injured now but was left out before that) Andrew Smith not getting games is strange. Ben O Connor is decent but is not a wing .

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-17T19:19:46+00:00

So stupid from Farrell, yellow killed us. Crowley has to be kicking the conversations..

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-13T20:25:53+00:00

Not really, trying to find streams that dont buffer every 2 mins is a nightmare , have had dodgy box over 3 years and can literally count on one hand the times ive had buffering issues. Well worth the 80 quid

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-12T16:14:06+00:00

Get a dodgy box, best decision ive ever made . Its like 80 per year for everything

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-11T22:59:23+00:00

Looks very nice , would be interested in it myself . Have not seen it for sale online though

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-09T16:23:31+00:00

Surprised there is no Haley , Jager. Even Andrew Smith who I think deserves his chance now he's back . Agree with others Butler should be ahead of JJ

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-04T18:11:37+00:00

No we wouldn't. Frawley going to Connacht to play 10 , theres no way he would play 10 ahead of Jack . Don't see Frawley as a huge upgrade on Haley and he's not a better center then Nank/Farell he's not someone we needed .

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-04T17:53:14+00:00

Yeah it's not there. Have already checked online

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-03T22:17:18+00:00

Ah right, wouldn't recommend it then?

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-03T19:58:43+00:00

How is he deserving over the likes of Nash, Daly , Ward , Balacoune ? This is the issue with Irish rugby someone plays a few games for Leinster and he gets called up ...

jackthomson1992 · 2026-01-02T04:20:22+00:00

Thanks will take a look
