Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
Jared Payne not in the leaving list at Scarlets, so another "rumour" / idea put to bed. I suspect RM will be stuck with the coaching tkt til end of contracts next season because of finances. Bell will be a goner!! JP may well be out of contract by that point, and the obvious and best repl...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
HB ain’t coming to UR, just can’t see it. The IRFU have zero reasons to block an NIQ 10 from UR. DH is going to have to ruffle some feathers. As an aside - let’s just remember in this shitshow it’s forced our hand to expose McCann Wilson Sheridan and now Izzy. I see JP is now back focusing on d at s...

Re: Ulster v Benetton Fri Apr 26 7:35pm KO BBC2 NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports UK
Some thoughts no real order: Firstly well done, I didn’t think they’d win. Cooney was excellent, bit of a blast from the past, showed confidence and fully took control. Defo a player who is better when clear no1, I don’t think he likes/benefits from competition at all. Wilson another good game, can’...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
It’d be interesting to see what the dynamic would be between them if they worked together especially as it’d mean Payne lost out on the top gig. Pretty sure one of the reasons payne left was he wanted to move from d to attack coach. I’d happily see them work together but egos would have to be parked...

Re: Ulster v Benetton Fri Apr 26 7:35pm KO BBC2 NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports UK
Looking forward to seeing crouthers at 7, more time at 8 for McCann. Can Sheridan back it up in the row 2 weeks on the trot? More fast learning for Wilson. Can Stewart get his basics right? Will Izzy back up last weeks cameo? The lesser spotted young ulster forward, ain’t so lesser spotted these day...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
Forwards or head coach? Hmm…not for me though if head coach. A proven track record with young player development a must. The knowledge of young ire players a bonus. I wouldn’t have an issue re rest of coaching dept frankly, no one has covered themselves in glory. Contract buy outs could be an issue,...

Re: Ulster v Benetton Fri Apr 26 7:35pm KO BBC2 NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports UK
I think our goose is cooked, and we won’t qualify for Champ Cup. That said I’m bizarrely excited for next yr, and pre season. I think we’ll try to play a far more attractive brand of rugby, and there’ll be opportunities for young pups if they show promise. For me these few games are a free hit out, ...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
I’ll happily say it. If we are effectively going to be playing a side heavily filled with pups, so be it. It’ll likely be the closest thing to a home grown UR side for yrs. Non CC qualified, ok….a yr in the challenge cup with pups might not be a bad thing for their development. I don’t know re parti...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7p7qKt6ATyk&pp=ygUMdWxzdGVyIHJ1Z2J5 18:50 in. Appears we did approach Cruden. Between this and a non commital answer from the new CEO in the interview with Trimble. I take 3 things from them: 1 - we are sniffing around for a 10 for next season 2 - painfully obvious ...

Absolutely love Sheridan Wilson and McCann. There will be good and bad days at the office, but every game minute is an investment in their development. Thought postlewaite had good moments too, raw but very talented, and worth the game time. Hopefully theres a few more back row boys close to getting...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
I thought Ewers was in a 2yr deal.
Interesting that we are gonna operate with Doak and Flannery at 10 next season, absolutely damning.
Strap yourselves in it’s gonna be a bumpy ride for a good few yrs.

Whether guys are staying or leaving we have a smallish squad, and we don’t know re levels of fitness. Even if it doesn’t mean sense, truth is we may just need game mins off players even if they are leaving end of season. I’d also say although out of contract etc end of season if by some miracle RM s...
