Contract Situation

[UR13IRFU]

Hopefully UR Negotiated Stockcube into taking a serious pay cut otherwise it is once again a shambles for a player that hasn’t done very much in an Ulster jersey in a very long time. Anyone know where DV is away to?

Stockdale on pay per ball catch contract.

Catching balls in his zipper not included.

Harsh. Have you watched his recent performances?

[Bobbievee]

been quite surprised lately to notice how many of the esteemed commentators on the forum dont actually attend Kingspan.........for one reason or another........
Should we have separate forums/fora?

Really harsh, he was my man of the match at the weekend.

The non attendees have their own WhatsApp group. It's me, rum, Clive, Baggy and swiss Tony. There is a lot of spit. It's wild stuff, honestly. Hopefully the cost of living crisis continues so we keep this up.

Add me in please Dave, unfortunately can't make all matches as dont live in the country, travel costs are restrictive as well as getting time of work to actually travel but still SUFTUM even watching on TV

Agreed, mate. Every SUFTUM helps though.

McDonald and Declan Moore off to Connacht. Original A team announcement mentioned that it was Madigan’s final season at Ulster, since changed.

Sheridan and Marcus Rea start.

Loan moves for McDonald and Moore rather than permanent ones which is interesting.

Something that should be considered more. Especially us loaning some delicious privately educated D4 talent, fresh from the conveyer belt of chunky forwards.

The UR site indicates that Moore is signed up with us for another season but that McDonald only came on a one year deal.

If it’s a loan then we must have extended his contract.

[CIMANFOREVER]

Forwards coach, Roddy Grant, has signed a new two-year deal, which will see him remain at the province until at least 2025.

Don't think even the most negative of us would argue against that.

Forwards outscoring backs, we can make it over the gain line more often than not, scrum gains parity or better in most games.

Going back a few seasons if Nick Williams wasn't playing we didn't get over the gain line and without Marty Moore our scrum retreated like it was on the beaches of Dunkirk we are in a much better place.
