Re: Reset button required?
You’d imagine Petrie will be sniffing around the SRU job with Dodson leaving. I can’t see Payne coming back while DMcF is top dog. For me there is too much recontracting of poor performers, and too much jobs for the boys. There’s no ruthless edge to any of it, no jeopardy. I’d hope DH would be looki...

Re: Petries Answering Questions
I actually thought it was very interesting he was even mentioning the playing style and selection of squads, which is as a CEO nothing to do with his role/responsibility. That said, IF he is telling the truth (clearly DMcF has to be onboard with this as head coach), and we start playing our young f...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports
Sorry don’t like Dans comments, admittedly only reading, not hearing them. Toulouse are a quality outfit, but so were Toulouse, LAR, R92, Clermont, Montpellier, Leicester, etc etc all sides I’ve seen UR beat in the Euro Cup over the yrs at Ravenhill. Tonight was a poor show, I’ll explain why: Toulou...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports
Serious question:
Is there a chance of the pitch being frozen again this weekend? I’ll be mightily cheesed off, as I’m flying back over for the game.
As an aside what have UR got in place to avoid this scenario, now they’ve gone down the plastic pitch route?

Re: Leinster v Ulster Mon Jan 1 5:15pm KO
Re Sheridan…is he still studying at uni in Dublin, maybe exams are coming up which could explain absence. I’m a massive fan of his, he’s abrasive, and I love that, especially when frankly there’s been times players have gone missing against big packs. You want that kind of attitude and player around...

Re: Ulster v Connacht
Re general Poor backline in attack The backline post first phase is static, very flat, and several things are noticeable. Flannery crabs across the pitch pre pass, backline follows at time close to a 45 angle….it’s that bad. Receiving the ball at a standing start, wingers wide static and totally tur...

Re: Ulster v Connacht
A decidedly mediocre performance, and zero surprise. It definitely falls into the category of take the pts/win, and move on. The double miss by Balacoune and Addison for the Connacht try was very poor especially being so close to the touch line. However there were elements i did like: the pop passin...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
Nothing will happen til end of season earliest.
I do think Humphries will hold UR to account, but that is 6/18mths away.

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
If UR fails to sort this scrum issue, they’ll lose a damn sight more games than that. Barclay had UR finishing 6/8 in URC….that could be generous. Inconsistent, a soft underbelly, with a habit of folding….was what he politely said reading between the lines. A real issue is that they are gonna need M...

Re: Injury Update
I thought when Lowry was on the wing he was quite effective and an interesting prospect going forward, and could really suit him. Low centre of gravity, fast feet, decent burst of pace over a short distance, and reasonable hands for a wide man, and ok kicking game. I have reservations re his hands/k...
