Re: Squad depth 2024/25

A lot of these guys could do with a really robust preseason with a massive focus on fitness. Marty looks like he has been doing a far bit of cycling lately. AOC and EOS look in dire need of some conditioning too. Get this lot up the dunes again.

They went to a lot of trouble to produce an edit announcing the fake news.

He’s actually Austrian I believe so Big-Al could have got behind him.
He could live directly on the Malone golf course, specifically on the green at the 9th.

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Why? Almost half of them come from Leinster. Which is worrying. I don’t want to support a team of Leinster men. If I did, would it not be worthwhile travelling to the RDS every other week instead? What if a Ukrainian (or similar) refugee plays for Ulster? Will this be acceptable? what? WHAT IF A UK...

Re: Squad depth 2024/25

A signing like Morgan might help but I'd feel very good about Murphy jnr heading this way. I'm enjoying young players getting a crack. I think we shouldn't expect too much from Murphy this season, he's still very young. He'd be behind Flannery in terms of his career progression. One for the future ...

Dave a goal line kick the number one priority is touch usually the angle is such that length is not possible . A long kick from the goal line which fails to get touch is highly dangerous because without a proper follow up chasers can be easily beaten by the receiver and a running return is at pace ...
