There was a problem at both, as I said look at the backs through the academy aged 24 to 28.the spoofer wrote:In fairness, you slated the academy when the problem was there but at head coach level. Not bringing through players fell at the feet of MOC who preferred Mick McGrath and Darragh Fanning to the young lads.
Academy backs from 1990-1993 age groups:
John Cooney(1990) - MOC'd
Luke McGrath(1993) - almost MOC'd
Cathal Marsh(1991) - not good enough
Noel Reid(1990) - not top quality
Brendan Macken(1991) - not top quality
Tom Daly(1993) - not good enough
Tom Farrell(1993) - almost MOC'd
Steve Crosbie(1993) - not good enough
Darren Hudson(1990) - not good enough
Andrew Conway(1991) - left prior to MOC
Sam Coghlan Murray(1991) - not good enough
Andrew Boyle(1992) - not good enough
Michael Sherlock(1992) - left before MOC
Ultimately I have faith that Lancaster will be able to develop at least one of the inside centres in the academy to a sufficient level.
