I was merely speculating. He could be another Tony Ward. Iām happy it is two years. Sickened he wonāt be linking with zebo. I think Scannell has played a nice bit at ten and Murray has so many of the traits a ten needs that they can really help Carberry. I suspect JJ will be given a good run at 15.

Can you please confirm that paddy jackson was not behind JJ Hanrahan like youāve claimed. PJ was vastly superior.
Happy to confirm that hanrahan the more talented and higher rated player at u20 level.
JJ Hanrahan was a very good prospect but is totally overrated based on a couple of games for the Ireland under 20s. He made a massive mistake leaving when he did and hasnāt really performed when given a chance. He is more of a 12 to me but isnāt near Scannell. Iād also suspect hearing stories from when he left his attitude isnāt the best.
You really shouldāve just set this as your stall a few hours ago rather than the mess of an argument you made of it. Thatās a valid opinion and I definitely think they fucked up by not giving him more game time at 10 in his last stint but I donāt really think heās good enough to be honest. Would like to be proved wrong and have a fellow Kerryman as an Irish starting 10.

Yes and Paddy Jackson was given the summer off because he was the starting ten for Ulster in a Heineken Cup final at the age of 19. So JJ took his place. He was either centre or a sub when Jackson was available.
As if it was that simple.
Hanrahan was offered alot of money. There was alot going on
Ya I hope they give him a good run somewhere
He is supposed to be a decent lad.
But having known one or two starlets who were messed around in pro sport it can ruin a guy easy enough. He needs solidity.
The strongest of us need love
Jackson clearly better player on all know evidence
Hanrahan sulked when he wasnāt starting. Iām not sure he has the best attitude. It was nearly 25 before Johnny Sexton won his Leinster starting shirt and even at that it was due to injury. He didnāt sulk. He worked on every single aspect of his game. Turning himself into a world class ten.
Johnny has an unbelievable attitude.
Iād be slow to out anyone in with him for comparison.
Many a good pro did a great job without reaching Sextons levels
But thatās difference between good and great
Only a clown could think otherwise. People have short memories. Jackson at 24 was probably ready to break in to the top ten outhalfs in the world after the bok tour in 2016. He was always a far more complete player than Jj.
Iām merely pointing out when things donāt happen for you thereās a way to handle it. Jj has multiple chances with munster and didnāt take them. All you can ask for a player is to reach the best of their ability. This why I feel sorry for keatley I actually think heās playing to his ceiling but it isnāt good enough.
Nah he just never addressed his mentality
Which is changeable
Iām not so sure I just donāt think he has it in him.
