Re: URC 2024/25 - Other Sides

Not ideal for us.

Annoying that an unimpressive Leinster gifted Edinburgh a second point at the death.

TOB’s hamstrings are made of the same stuff as Bobby B’s.

JGP has conceded defeat on the barnet front.

We don’t want them getting injured for the EI tour.

Re: Live Stream, Q & A Tuesday May 28

Dunno what you were expecting to learn but I reckon it was good to hear that 29 players had broken their speed PBs or whatever it was and the lads had generally come back bigger, as indicated on here.

WK was at the front door grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Quite a character.

Looking forward to seeing him get stuck in.

Re: Ulster v Glasgow Sat Sep 21 7:45pm KO

Well you’d think so.

Saw one comment that said minutes are managed on a calendar year basis though.

Stu played about three games more than JO over the course of last season.

I guess we’ll find out tomorrow!

Think I read somewhere reasonably credible that Big Stu wasn’t available on Saturday?

I’m really hoping it’s horlix…..

Re: Squad depth 2024/25

Think the coaches have known the squad for some time. Four of our likely match day 23 missing for a sixth of the league season. Add that to the xenophobic recruitment rules and having to keep bang average IQ players who’ll never play for Ireland, and it’s like trying to compete with one arm tied beh...

Re: Contract Situation

Nor has he been proved right. Agree with Silverstu that it would have been fascinating to see RL under the new coaching regime Really? The lad has given up the sport at 26 to produce kids and breed cows, or is it the other way around? 42 starts in 7 years. A bit part player albeit a decent one for ...

Re: Contract Situation

Great to hear re Stu.

If Dan thought RL didn’t have what it takes to be a pro rugby player, he’s hardly been proved wrong.

You'd hope he'd be open to coming back if he'd any international ambitions.
Shanners has got at least another five 12 month contract extensions left in him yet, unless his elbow gives way from carrying all those drinks.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Allowing Leinster to sign Slimani and then formally introducing the no props rule sums up the bias of the IRFU. Dublin Mafia. the prop rule was brought in by David Humphries. Did he think before he opened his gob? Sounds like Furlong’s agent is already rubbing his hands, with rumours of ‘interest’ ...

Re: Are we allowed to talk about KINGSPAN

The thrust of the announcement appeared to be that both were simultaneously extended until the end of this season. Iirc, Hugh said we’d engaged three different agents to find some other mug to waste their money on us. Actually, have irritated many of my colleagues in a previous life by signing us up...

Bit muddy in Preston today, to put it mildly.

Retreated to Spoons after Haircut 100, Paul Heaton and Shed Seven.
