Maybe - so why go to Scotland then? :duck:
Edinburgh v. Belfast. Now let me think......The Royal Mile or the Golden Mile? The Edinburgh Festival or Orangefest? Portobello Beach or Helen's bay? The water of Leith or the Lagan? That's a tough set of questions....not. Much as i like it here Edinburgh is a fantastic city for a young guy with no ties or responsibilities. Anyway, I was being a little tongue in cheek. I often wonder what some of the better players think when they see a squad stuffed with time servers and no-hopers and the better guys who can play a bit that have to listen to Farquhar and Boak every day. Does anyone else think that the wheels have fallen off the Sinclair C5? Losing those last two games and the one at home to Munster was just amateur hour. We earned 2 points when we should have had 12. Just shyte rugby with little by way of any sight of the 'top 2 inches.'

Agree totally with your excellent post.

Based on what I've seen this season, he would be first choice, or close to, at Ulster before his contract in Edinburgh ends. Unless there are bigger hopes for Stockdale, Lyttle et al., it doesn't really make any sense to me. Scholes certainly seems well-placed to be Ulster's most consistent winger moving forwards. For me, personally, it's hard to think of a worse piece of business Ulster could have done!
Yup. Unless the strategy is to get him gametime and take him back. However, quite a few guys that go across the water don't come back in a hurry.

Ulster's strategy, or Scholes' strategy?

Because - and I claim no insider knowledge here - but it looks pretty obvious this is Scholes' decision, not Ulster's.

Don't really see how ulster could have a strategy to let someone go in the hope he'll come back in a couple of years. Of course it may happen, but in professional times the only way ulster could be sure of having him in a couple of years would be to keep him now.

Did someone accidentally offer Stockdale a contract instead of Scholes?
