Got some insight tonight as to what has potentially been affecting the Ulster performance of late. Apparently the players don’t like the crowd shouting as this puts them off their concentration!! This was revealed when Gavin Andrews interviewed Craig Gilroy at half-time. Gilroy had his socks pulled up to his knees (on account of the cold) which attracted a few shouted comments from the Promenaders (tis the Ulster Way). Lo and behold after the interview Andrews and Gilroy came over to berate some in the crowd saying that such shouting (of benign comments) made it ‘very difficult to concentrate’ and ‘it may just seem like banter to you but it makes the job all the harder’!!
Such are the trials and tribulations of a professional rugby player and indeed a professional broadcaster!! Mind you it was cold enough for snowflakes tonight!,
Big bunch of fannies. I get that there are plenty of loudmouths on the terraces who are just an embarrassment but it would be typical of this lot to be easily offended.

Ah well, at least Gilroy won’t have to put up with it for too much longer…
Yes. Big elephant in that room. Gilroy discussing Jacob's situation and not a mention of his own.

Sutherland is a machine. Granted he only had about 20 mins but he covers the pitch like a 7 and after the tackle his speed getting back into the defensive line is unbelievable.
Said before I'd take him before Kitshoff. How about both lol. Then we'd have best FR in Europe

No way.
Sutherland decent but not in Kitschoff league.
The fact kitschoff is a captain and serial winner is enough for me.

I've as big a crush on JTA as the next guy but this talk about getting him signed up for next season can only happen if there is special dispensation for Moores injury. You cannot have a 3rd choice prop taking up an NIQ spot.

Why not no9? Surely they are less likely to block the signing because two Irish players are ahead of him if you see my logic. Obviously you'd have to get value for money and not paying him top wages.
I can definitely see the logic of both arguments here. I’d love to see JTA get a contract, but NIQ’s should be the first names on the team sheet.
I don’t know what the correct answer is.

Ala’alatoa for leinster is hardly the 1st name on the team sheet. Jeff would get game time as TOT might be missing plenty and marty is not guaranteed to come back however unlikely.

He's 32 in March and has a law degree to fall back on.A praper old school qualification (as opposed to the current trend of using a business degree from the Poly to sell coffee or sassidges!)
69 (why did txt msgs come into my head there ) trys from 208 Ulster appearances and 5 from 10 Ireland caps is not too shabby.
Former Ulster player of the year and twice named in the Pro12 "dream team" to boot.

Scoring 69 tries will get him cancelled. He seems to be in the property game also.

You'd wonder if he could pick up a season in proD2 bfore gently easing into retirement

Sutherland is an seasoned international and Lion. Very sound scrummager and much more mobile King
Kitshoff (sic) didn't win those trophies himself. I grant you advantage in terms of captaincy, but in every other way Sutherland is his equal and in some aspects better (loose). Probably cheaper too. With Carter and DV gone, off load Milo and some deadwood if we can, sign Jeff at least. Neither Kitshoff nor Sutherland are blockers. MM s international ship has sailed you feel, and TOT is in the international squad anyway.
