Can we send some kids down? A few hoodlums from the falls and some from the Shankill. Make it cross community.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

I wonder if Ulster would be better off paying the fees to send a bunch of our prospects down to Dublin schools.

Getting the players to come back to Ulster would be the hard part.

Skimming off the best players not only from Leinster but from all over Ireland. This Leinster system is a joke (but equally brilliant for them). B@stids.
Re: Leinster VS Ulster HC QF 01/04/23
We should just keep offering Leinster academy players senior contracts, if for no other reason than to make it more expensive for Leinster to keep a hold of them.HammerTime wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 8:31 am Skimming off the best players not only from Leinster but from all over Ireland.

The idea of lowry at 10 will never happen he is nowhere near the standard required and shows no sign of getting there in the short cameos he has had. His kicking is just awful. He would be a massive step down on BB whose kicking game is also not great. We need players who can kick more than 20 or 30 metres.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 2:52 pm .

Addison will not be back or if he is will only get a couple of games before retirement. I wouldn't factor him into plans.
But I agree with you re Stuart Moore.

Moore has to start at fullback for the rest of the season. When he went on at 15 it was a totally different feel to the game when you had someone who could catch a contestable high ball and someone who had a boot on him. He launched a couple with the left peg a stunning distance. Lowry was genius level level last year but a busted flush this year. Moore from here on in!!!
Re: Leinster VS Ulster HC QF 01/04/23
Lowry is probably a luxury we can't afford. Unless he's cutting into the line, he doesn't effect the game so well. Leinster kicked deep for him to collect in the back field. He is most dangerous coming onto a pass with a defender caught flat footed. When they see him coming from deep the line is easier to set. His kicking is poor. Moore has played well enough to be considered for a start.

D4 prob just use it as an excuse to cut our budgets to let Leinster keep them!thecrouch wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:16 amWe should just keep offering Leinster academy players senior contracts, if for no other reason than to make it more expensive for Leinster to keep a hold of them.HammerTime wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 8:31 am Skimming off the best players not only from Leinster but from all over Ireland.

Leicester forwards sticking it to the Leinster pack unlike Ulster last week who collectively bent over and got ripped a new one.

Ulster had a decent front row last week, but the locks and backrow aren’t anywhere near the quality Leicester have.
Our locks in general aren’t great (Henderson aside)

Re: Leinster VS Ulster HC QF 01/04/23
Tbh ML is becoming a liability at 15. No distance on his kicks and better teams are learning to shepherd him into a cul de sac. Apart from 10, where else is there apart from a luxury on the bench when the game opens up? He has never had a run at 10- BB is game but a limited game manager and not a front line Heineken cup 10.allezlesverres wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:17 pmThe idea of lowry at 10 will never happen he is nowhere near the standard required and shows no sign of getting there in the short cameos he has had.

Moore has earned a run at 15. Clever player in the Cave and Addison mould.
We can have our fingers crossed for Addison as he's the obvious choice at 15 and a Rolls Royce of a player, unless you have info his playing future is terminal.
Exterminate all rational thought

Not unheard of for a team to crumble after 55-60mins Especially after a spirited effort.
