He was tearing it up in the AIL for clontarf afaik. Was definitely worth a 1 year deal but we haven't had a look at him yet. Hopefully in the next few games as time is running out.

I'm not sure on the loose heads. Anyone?

Could be one of the more critical pathways we need over the next season or two.

Dennis plays too much I think. He hasn't been quite as influential this season as seasons in the past. Got to put fatigue as a considerable factor.

Regardless, I'd just love to see some of these young guys come through rather than have to shop.

Anyone know what Soroka is like? Think he is definitely a LH...

I know Saba and O'Donnell are tightheads, what about the rest?

I could've sworn Jamie played more than 1 game for the senior team, but Ultimate Rugby isn't backing me on that. Am I right in thinking that he's played some good minutes for the Eagles?

Going off the team site, we currently have 5 props in our academy.

Year 3
Jamie Dever (1 cap 2014/15) ?
Saba Meunargia (1 cap 2015/16) ON LOAN

Year 2
Conor Kyne (no caps) ?
Conan O'Donnell (8 caps 2015/16) INJURED

Year 1
Conor Kenny (no caps) ?

Who are we going to see come through beyond probably young Conan? I think many of these young fellas have suffered a lot of injury, but after Buckley, Bealham and Carey the depth is more of an unknown with Soroka and Robertson McCoy. Andress is a stop gap and Loughney probably has another season (or two) left in him at best.

Thought it might be an interesting debate, especially with the need for a good LH to share time or challenge Dennis probably a priority requirement for next season.

Thoughts?
