Hume continues to slap the chest etc. which imo is a juvenile display of uncontrolled emotion and p#sses everyone off.
He seems to think he's Sparky. All that whipping up the crowd stuff. :roll: Best way to do that is to deliver on the pitch.

Next season will have to look after itself.

Do you think Sarries will be leaving out OF?
And we're paying him
Correct
Reidy last season was a good example of somebody that was leaving who should have been utilised at the business end of the season.

Conceding a TBP against the worst team to visit Ravenhill in a good while wasn't great

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

On VAT I would very much like to know what he’s talking about - apart from anything VAT is levied in Ireland as well. I’m not an expert on VAT in the south but struggle to see why Ulster should be at any meaningful disadvantage. In the UK VAT will be due on the full selling price of tickets sold at...

Four of those seven conversions were from the touchline.
The Dragons lad missed a shocker.

I thought Addison might have been in touch for that first score. Surprised it wasn't TMO'd.

He will start more games now McFarseland has gone.

Re: Team for Dragoons

Just flicking through the programme. Dragons have ten players born in December. That’s too many. No wonder they’re rubbish. Ulster, across both the senior and academy squads, have just two. BOTH called Doak and BOTH born on Dec 17 (two years apart). Weird huh? NB Apologies to Josh Stevens who was a...

Re: Rate your top 5 foreign signings

Piatau was frustrating to watch and ultimately a waste of an expensive contract.

Pedrie deserves a mention

Yes, Cooney #1. Timoney #2 so far. Then a load of bang average imports.
Sure Cooney is half Scottish.An equal amount of Scots and Irish equals an Ulsterman .... sort of.

Re: Team for Dragoons

Izzy and Sheridan starting. Marcus Rea back in. That'll do. Marcus Rea started at Ospreys. Alright Dan, I stand corrected. Did I really want to select him? No, but at least I don’t have to listen to the experts on here any longer. If you'd spent more time at your job and less at the theatre and con...
