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

They’ve doubled down on that online. Can’t find the tournament rules - could be a head to head element or something? No it is points difference, then tries scored. They were wrong and are just burying their heads in the sand. England +59 v Ireland +41 PD, Ireland 18 tries v England 17. Ireland Scot...

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...

Re: Contract Situation

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...

Re: Autumn Internationals 2024

If correct, that’s good news as I never liked watching on Amazon. On a similar topic can anyone shed light on the URC contract with Viaplay? As I understand it Viaplay sold their sports coverage back to Premier Sports effective 2024. It’s 2024 now but I’ve heard nothing. So Viaplay/Premier Sports h...

Well they funded it with a loan - whether it’s a loan we have to pay back, or a ‘Munster loan’ remains to be seen!

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Well it hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for online ‘ITK’-artists… Neil Fissler ended up with egg on his face when Huw Jones ‘done deal at Montpellier’ turned out to be ..er.. not done - I mention in passing that he is the source of the Kok rumour.. Also a rake of Munster rumours faltering, Galla...
