Believe gilroys contract is up?
Rodney has at potential too
Wouldn't rule out shanahan either, after all as much as last week didn't make him the second coming, this week doesn't mean he is without hope

Also Im sure Jackson has signed, its just not public knowledge yet

Paddy is holding the aces. We simply have to match any other head-turning offers he might receive.

He will receive nothing too enticing with current circumstances being up in the air

A few notes.

Not just Ulster but the IRFU also.

Sexton is a walking injury and Madigan is already in France. Cannot lose a 10 to from the IRFU management system.

And Paddy knows it!

We'll sign some tom kite with an Irish granny from a second division English club. That tends to be the way of it. I'd rather give the academy guys a lash than bring in muck.

I would add Warwick and Kane to your list.

From what I hear Lyttle is a potential injury waiting to happen... Piutau will be in his last year so will be at least playing for his next club and Olding also appears to be a permanent injury machine.. Hopefully the two new boks can keep their knees safes.

I've no problems with potentials in the squad, that's what we want to see, guys with the potential to blossom.

Warwick was terrible today and has been for 18 months, hasn't kicked on since his first season. Can hold a scrum up but goes backwards when asked to carry.

Compare him to Healy, McGrath, Cronin, Kilcoyne, Buckley et al he wouldn't make the 23 man squad for any of the other provinces.

Our strength in depth is getting shallower, well we might have more players of squad quality but the overall quality has gone down.

We have a fine selection of nearly men.

Sums it up Snipe, sums it up very well. More than that, if a lot of supporters are thinking of not renewing season tickets who can blame any of our guys for thinking that it's not worth travelling to Ravers regularly and heading elsewhere to further their rugby careers or get a late but big pay day?

How many of those would make the Leinster or Munster 23?

Depressing.

We may pray that our new coaches have miraculous powers because there is nothing to suggest our problems will be solved next season.

Maybe Pat Lam can send some of his magic powers up North.
