Now that's what I call a missed opportunity to spread a rumour!

That would be Ken Reid the "political" editor?

Long time Ulster fan. Maybe we are signing somebody funded by the executive?

Yeah but going by his tweets I think the UR Squad was up at the big house on the hill tonight!!!

Doubt it if Peter gets annoyed at the Inpho caption on the photo of his arrival at Twickenham - "Peter Mandleson arrives ....."

Hey buddy, whadya hear?

Now Gentlemen ORDER ORDER ORDER. I am astonished at the number of people trying to lay down ground rules for the quality of rumour to be posted ................... only in Ulster eh? what? eh?

If someone wishes to post that he heard a rumour that Barry John is feeling a little unfulfilled having retired at 26 and is coming to Ulster, so what? Not going to happen but where is the harm, just the same bullshit as on other threads, use yer wit FFS & quit throwing your toys about.

Its a rumour, the trick with rumours you see is not that you are fed up hearing crap, its that you are afraid to look ridiculous if you invest hope in it & are equally worried they if you poo-ho it & by a miracle it comes to pass you look at know it all chube who doesn't know his Brennan from a hole in the ground.

I don't know it there is a recognised "phobia" for fear of rumours but it is alive and well here.

I heard a rumour that our back row signing is Talei, it is from a good source that has be proven before. It would only be a short contract and humph will be looking for a top quality NIQ signing for 2013/2014. Talei signed 3 years with Edinburgh from 2009/10 season.

Talei seems to have a year to run on his contract according to this:

He said after the final that he's lucky he has a great job to step into (the academy role) so I assume he'll be taking it and I really hope he does. Ulster really need as many quality coaches at underage level as possible and the likes of McLaughlin is perfect for the role. He is an experienced and successful schools coach, so he'll be fit to work easily with kids, but he has also held coaching roles at the very highest level.

P.S - I'm pretty pleased, albeit slightly worried that Ulster are still looking for a backrower, hopefully means there it won't be Williams.

If they are tight for cash and options, nipping down to Leinster and signing Jordan Coughlan and/or Conor Gilsenan would be great, both powerful and very talented young backrowers.
