    @mikey07 Yeah i kept half an eye on the Ulster team sheets throughout the year to see how he went. He seemed to get a few starts early on by faded away to the bench or not selected as the season progressed. Think Ulster struggles in general. Always though he was a tidy NPC player, but just not quite there with any traits required at next level, same sort of ceiling as a Mitch Hunt.

    Surely no space at canes. I'd say Pro D2, Japan or lets say Western Force

    There’s also a certain team in the South Island that could do with another 10.

    Guess it comes down if he wants to chase the money at a young age, don’t blame him if he does.

    No thanks, we've got Cameron, Godfrey, Love and Harkin that can play ten to a better standard IMO.

    This would be my team as well. That backline is something else.

    I've also jotted down the most exciting Canes team on paper IMO, a team that would score some sensational tries.

    1. Goodes
    2. Coles
    3. Uhila
    4. Fifita
    5. Fatialofa
    6. Collins
    7. Savea
    8. Vito
    9. Weepu
    10. Barrett
    11. Lomu
    12. Nonu
    13. Umaga
    14. Milner Skudder
    15. Cullen

    Alatini should piss it in over Jordie.

    Who was that crusader fullback that went to the canes and killed it?

    Nah not when he only played 16 games for us. Maybe the Highlanders all time team as he played 48 games for you guys.

    He could be a nice pick up for the Landers. My issue with Morgan was he never had a big boot, his running game was sound but he never got any distance on his kicks which is important in today's game.

    Yep, had a decent running game, but wasn't at all what you would call someone that could run a game. And was rather small.
    I see no need for him to come back. Maybe could start training as a 9?

    you can easily get away with a 10 that doesn't have a big boot, as long as you have a 9 who can kick, and a fullback or 12 with a big boot for line clearances and penalties. We are collectively just too dumb and set in our ways to do that effectively.

    Argh ffs. We just better hope we get no more injuries. That's a massive blow IMO. He made the impact I was expecting, just has touches of class that we will certainly miss in the playoffs if we get there.

    Kini and Iose now also gone for the season. We've had some horrible luck, just can't buy a trick. Always seems to be our form players as well.

    Except Hunt didnt have the running game but had the kicking game, similar players but opposite at what their best trait is.

    I wouldn’t be upset if we got him. 23 years old with room to grow, wouldn’t count as a foreign player too. Better than going and grabbing your Patchells and Burns of the world imo.

    All Hunt could do was run, his kicking from hand was child like.

    Maybe I just have visions of him kicking the ball away every time we looked good on attack so feels like he kicked it more. Gives me PTSD thinking about it

    Fly-half Morgan to leave Ulster after one season

    Fly-half Morgan to leave Ulster after one season

    Ulster confirm that New Zealand-born fly-half Aidan Morgan will leave the club this summer "by mutual consent".
