Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

Who at Ulster Rugby was at fault for the debacle v LaRochelle? Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk And does he think fans are stupid enough to believe the monetary loss of one fixture has left Ulster in complete financial ruin. Ferris said on the Viaplay URC podcast the other day that apparently th...

Re: Contract Situation

So the rumoured exits so far are O’Sullivan French Jones Shanahan Burns Marshall - retiring Carson Addison McDonald comes back from Connacht to fight it out with McKee for 3rd choice scrum half. You imagine Saunderson and Wilson go onto development contracts to replace French and O’Sullivan. Same w...

Re: Contract Situation

There is no way this is all due to the unexpected loss of income from one game. Are we really living that hand to mouth, where is any long term planning and contingency. Big budget NIQs should never have been considered if we were that close to the wire financially. It all suggests financial disfun...

Re: Contract Situation

While not absolving Petrie I think we need to look at quite a few others From looking at the articles of association for UR it seems that the Professional Game Board ultimately reports, or at least is under the supervision, of the Management Committee Management Committee Chairman P Terrington, Pre...

Re: Petries Answering Questions

What’s the Council’s issue? And for those who can’t be bothered to open the BBC link, the Chief Exec of the SRU (who’s done all the hard work) is leaving in the summer. I would suggest there’s a fairly high chance of JP replacing him. Would they touch him? I doubt it. I’m sure Ulster will give him ...

Re: Leinster v Ulster Mon Jan 1 5:15pm KO

You mention Dalton and McBurney yet both have shown, at Newcastle and Edinburgh respectively, that they’re simply not good enough. How’s that feck ing anything up? McBurney was one of the outstanding players in the U20 team that got to the RWC final in 2016, scoring tries for fun, including the fin...

Re: Viaplay Offer

viaplay pulling out of the UK any thoughts where URC coverage will move to I wonder if the BBC would have the Ulster Games back. The BEEB would love to step in home and away, so here is hoping. But, if URC/CVC partners do a deal with BT or Sky etc will they allow a BBC NI deal for home games the wa...

Re: Are we allowed to talk about KINGSPAN

Im sure if Conchúr Mac Adaim can conjure up a new sponsor prepared to stump up near £1m then JP boys would talk to them.

Re: Contract Situation

We are also supposed to be signing Ben Griffin who is playing in AIL. We are becoming a pound shop club. 50p shop club at best. We have no money! Paying out McFarland isn’t an option. Only hope of him leaving is if another team picks him up. No Leinster prospect wants to come up North and they have...

Re: Contract Situation

So potentially JTA and Milo are being released? Here is one option, that contractually may be binding. Last season JTA was signed as TH cover when the signing that was made fell through due to injury. Ulster had actually signed Conor Carey from Northampton as the 3rd TH, only he did his ACL in his ...
