Very mysterious.... there was a post on the darkside this morning witha rumour that Ulster were signing a number 8 called Grant Webb from the NZ NPC team Hawkes Bay, however the post has been removed from the ur.com message board.
Given injuries to Ferris and Wilson, it seems sensible to bring in some cover... as long it isn't another Sam Harding who I don't think even played an entire half of rugby.
New signing????

Saw that post as well MR, could removal signal some truth in rumour 
With some of the dross over there, even more than here
it is very strange that such a post should vanish

There was a post to that thread at 10:08 this morning. By 10:30 the thread was gone.
In the period between these times the thread was visible as a thread heading but it could not be accessed by either the heading link or through the post history of the first or last posters.
Very pro-active.

I am surprised that it was inactivated and then deleted so soon. I did not think the board was so routinely monitored.
I guess they must now all about how to run a plc by now............

It's more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.
Anyway, the only difference between me and a madman is I’m not mad….I think…

No mention in the Hawkes Bay section of NZ rugby site, The Silver Fern, although there was a post yesterday saying: "Im also dying to know what is happening with Grant Webb. I hope we keep him that boy is a very valuable assett."

Grant Webb
No. 8
1.90m
108kg

Otago Matches 25

"He has been touted as a player for the future since playing for New Zealand Colts in 2000 and making his Otago debut in 2001. After one Rebel Sport Super 12 game as a substitute in 2002, Webb became a regular member of the Highlanders pack in 2004 and was included again in 2005."
18 Jun 2005 – started as No. 8 for Otago v British and Irish Lions – was not replaced. The Lions won 30-19.
