I agree with you guys regarding Cooney but just want to give a big shout out to Jeff Toomaga-Allen as well. Now that's a proper NIQ signing!
+1
Better researched and better performer. Fairly typical of Ulster signings under McFarland , TBH.

Craig Gilroy finishing up with Ulster at the end of this season and heading overseas
He's their record try scorer but that's dried up for a few years. 0 this year, 3 last, 2 before that, then 4, then 1. You have to go back to 17/18 the last time he scored more than 5 tries in a season (he had 11).
It's not a great recent record for a winger who isn't great in the air or have a big boot.
He was enjoyable in his pomp and I hope he has a good retirement.

As Dave says not retiring and looking to move to a new club overseas, whatever that means? USA, Italy, France maybe?
I know of 2 wider squad players in Ulster who said McFarland told them, along with others, not to expected to be selected in the first team. He asked then to be good squad members and contribute to training….seems terrible squad management from a coach who supposedly specialises in mental side of things

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Edinburgh just not bothered at all. Kinghorn totally phoning in a performance, doesn't want to tackle, take a tackle, go for a contestable ball - didn't think he was that type of player.
So, going to form really

Kinghorn must have been asleep for the intercept pass he gave Cooney.
