Re: Petrie departs…..

Also - There are several intriguing candidates who could be in the mix, such as the likes of former winger Andrew Trimble who has just sold his sports tech business, Kairos, to an American investor for a reported £15m and has a razor-sharp business acumen. Ex-flanker Matt McCullough is now a Managi...

Re: Petrie departs…..

IRFU bail out incoming. Never going to be handed out while Petrie still in position to oversee more squandering.

Now.... where the feck is BO'D when you need him to call Ulster a basket case. Reset button complete.

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

It's a fair point Bart, I think last night with Dan gone wasn't a gimme, we just wanted to ensure the win.

We've still a shot at top 4 and a home QF which is needed for the bank account.

Its a £2mil deficit at present. I don't hear much but that came from within.

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

On VAT I would very much like to know what he’s talking about - apart from anything VAT is levied in Ireland as well. I’m not an expert on VAT in the south but struggle to see why Ulster should be at any meaningful disadvantage. In the UK VAT will be due on the full selling price of tickets sold at...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

Petrie seems "confident" Ulster will have a competitive side next season. If all of the departures are as suggested elsewhere then hard to see how unless he expects the youngsters to immediately step up to be seasoned pros or a Lazarus like recovery in form by everyone who is currently be...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Should Italy have been allowed to retake that last penalty :scratch: and the French marched 10 metres? French twice encroached on the 10 metres before Garbisi took the penalty. The opposing team may not do anything to delay the kick or obstruct the kicker, including intentionally taking, throwing or...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

Funny how Burns suddenly becomes everybody’s favourite just as he’s emptying out his locker. You’re forgetting that Munster couldn’t afford to offer their WC winner a contract. Until this week, they couldn’t even afford to offer the Ireland captain a contract. Whatever your opinion on Burns, even S...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

I mean it can only be Ulster fans that can be drunk off about signing a dual WC winner in their prime right? If it leads to having to dump players all over the place as a result then yeah! If there had have been any medium term financial planning we would never have signed him. I’m all for dumping ...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

It’s all a fairly unsophisticated load of smoke and mirrors as Ulster, like pretty much every sports team, is, in isolation, an unsustainable business. Ticket income was down 180k to about 3 million which is not great but relatively insignificant. The key swing in the accounts was professional game...

He's £1.2 million over two years p**sed off.

Who at Ulster Rugby was at fault for the debacle v LaRochelle?
