There was also the considerable influence by Graham Henry's endorsement of Joey.LeinsterLeader wrote: ↑April 19th, 2023, 5:04 pm Whether Joey should have gone to Munster or where his best position was/is has probably been done to death at this stage and is now probably water under the bridge. The real lesson from this (and the reason I chose that article) was the absolute insane hype that was going on about this guy at that time from the media and some fans. I mean that basketball comparison was just crazy. I know Joey made his own bed but I don't think this this level of hype helps anyone really. Hopefully we'll all learn from this in relation to other guys coming down the line.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Just an aside, I remember one of the first matches Joey played against us, possibly the first, I'd some Munster fans behind us and Ross was having a good one (got MOTM if I remember correctly) and the two boyos between sips of their pints kept uttering "we got the wrong bloody outhalf"

Re: Leinster Squad 22-23
One more at 6pm. Doesn’t look like Soroka. I’m thinking Deeny maybe from the photo on Twitter.

Who does that leave assuming it is Deeny? The assumption seems to be that O’Reilly, Dave Kearney and Hanan won’t get a deal.
Seem to be unsure about Soroka, Healy maybe, and Martin Moloney?

McElroy, Martin Moloney, Soroka & Healy I think.
Maybe one or two early graduates from the academy too - Culhane/Prendergast?
