Re: Petrie departs…..

So we have an organisation whose biggest challenge is commercial under-performance and we decide the ideal appointment as CEO is… a civil servant!

Re: Petrie departs…..

Good thing, no harm to him - couple of hundred k right there off the cost budget for next year, that doesn’t have to come out of the player cost budget..

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Werner Kok to Ulster confirmed I hope I’m proved wrong about this but a very meh signing, half decent player but nothing special, gets attention disproportionately because of his wacky hair imo Actually I’m doing a bit of a 180 on this.. graceless way to welcome any new player to Ulster - but also ...

Re: Ulster's finances

Good post by Columbo. Yet accounts highlight a developing more & more weak financial situation over the last few years. Suggests poor financial management. IRFU will bail them out, of course, but at a price which seems to be more aimed at cutting direct costs (squad) rather than administrative ...

Re: 2024 U20's

I switched off when Ireland knocked on in injury time, assuming that they had lost and it wasn’t until about ten mins later scrolling through Twitter that k realised he went back for the pen! Tbh I was expecting an England win, but the scrum held up surprisingly well, and our skills and attacking pl...

Sorry to be a downer on a Friday, but I’ve heard that the one rumour that I was hoping would prove to be unfounded in fact has legs… namely that in fact it is 12 contracts that are going, with the 12th being Stu [emoji30] Not a done deal yet but Ulster are expecting him to go.

Ulster's finances

I think there’s a lot of confusion around about Ulster / the IRFU / finances etc, leading IMO to this situation where while Ulster are definitely in a bit of a squeeze, it’s been blown out of all proportion, to the extent where I’ve been seeing people responding with surprise to the contract extensi...
