DK has experience in H cup.

Has Olding signed a contract extension?

do you have my hat?

One thing that you can be sure of is that Humph will be careful how he handles this one. The media will be used more carefully by UR and Maaak will also be taking his opportunities to get his message across. Public opinion is a powerful tool in any such negotiation. Maaak gets more chances to talk ...

All things considered, it'd be pretty harsh if MA did get the boot. HEC QFs and topped the Pro12 last season. Top seed 5/5 in the group stages of HEC this year and top 4 of Pro 12. I like his style in post-match interviews too. But, how much of Ulster's relative success has been down to him or is i...

Big ballsy call.

Not for me.

I take all the points here and perhaps KOTH knows something we don't. However would getting rid of MA not just be change for change's sake? As much as good coaching is important, so is stability and we are already looking at a huge upheaval in our pack. I don't know if I do know more than you. Did ...

It's an interesting one. The politics of it all. If he doesn't get a new contract will Humph be saying he got it wrong? Or has he been given one nore year as a holding measure? Exactly Humph needs to be very careful. He won't of been impressed with MA's interview a number of weeks ago. Is he one st...

Diack gives away to many silly penalties.

Cockatrice wrote:Any word on the contract being offered yet or is that now likely to wait until after the HEC. Can't leave it too late or he might be thinking of approaching other clubs.

I reckon he has been offered already.

Not bothered if he stays or goes.

Have ulster genuinely improved under him?
