None of the best 9s in world rugby have ever been arrogant...

(Ruan is the exception to everything).

Graham Curtis was on the bench for Malone at the weekend. Younger brother of Angus Curtis, plays scrumhalf.

In a brief cameo, he looked pretty good, I must say. Having seen Shane Kelly, our No 1 nine, fall on the ice and fracture his patella (rest of season gone), Graeme will be a very useful addition to our squad.

Maybe a better attitude, and understands humility.

Supposedly the better of the two brothers. I'm told he's a lad with a shed load of potential. Hope Peel can turn him into a leg end.

Still not a local. Though one does get the feeling at times Campbell wants an academy of unquestioning robots

Not exactly a poach when they both decided to come here, grandfather and father both played for Ireland unless I am mistaken.

Peel doesn't coach the academy players. How's he getting on with Cooney?

Not a product of the Irish youth system, let alone the Ulster youth system so a poach to me at this point.
