Re: Contract Situation
I'd take Carter in the absence of a replacement. I'd give TH a better go than Milo, and I'm busted

Leinster cast offs are that for a reason they ain’t good enough to make the Leinster 23
We should be trying to push through some of our younger back rows (McLaughlin, Crothers, McNabney) rather than giving Jones an extension - he’ll be 28 next year & shown he isn’t at the level needed.
Can’t wait to see what comes tomorrow - Matty Rea on a 4 year deal likely!
Outside of the starters on Saturday, there’s one who can tackle, one who can jackal, one who can claim a lineout and one with a great rugby brain.
Can we not just melt them down or something?

Re: Contract Situation
Can we not apply for a rebate on these 3 Mervyn?

Re: Contract Situation
Yup. Exactly the point and evidence for the prosecution

Re: Contract Situation
Jordi retiring then
You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

Re: Contract Situation
No wonder Henderson is at least thinking of life beyond Ulster… if I was him I’d go third choice heading for fourth for Ireland … if it wasn’t for the World Cup I suspect he be gone already
Currently studying Stage 5 (level3) at IRFU
Re: Contract Situation
Won’t make much difference to UR if he goes. He hardly plays for us anyway.Cockatrice wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 7:05 pm No wonder Henderson is at least thinking of life beyond Ulster… if I was him I’d go third choice heading for fourth for Ireland … if it wasn’t for the World Cup I suspect he be gone already

Jones has coaching attributes apparently.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 5:55 pmWho has the great rugby brain?

I see Shea scored a couple of tries at the weekend as Armagh made 1A for the first time.
Congrats to them - nice setting at the Palace Grounds.

Re: Contract Situation
This wailing and gnashing of teeth rehgarding Jones etc is pash poor. He obviously offers a lot in training. Not every squad player is a match day player.
Re: Contract Situation
I suppose Jones is a bit like Ian Madigan- I’ve heard a lot of reports of him being great with younger players, I know Harry Sheridan has spoken about him before. That sort of impact can be undervalued
Re: Contract Situation
Jones must be peak Billy Connolly with the charm of a suitcase full of cash. Fair feck to him. Woeful recruitment from Ulster.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: Contract Situation
That's what a decent NIQ that also has the ability to smash the opposition and win us tight games with big moments, is supposed to do.
Not what our 7th (at best, according to my list below [and I'm probably forgetting someone given Dan's schizo backrow selections]) string backrower should be tasked with.
Duane
Timoney
McCann
Marcus Rea
Jordi
Sheridan
Re: Contract Situation
C’mon surely we need to expect more than that - at a minimum someone who can push on to be a match day player rather squad trainer. Academy guys can do that.nonplussed wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 10:30 am This wailing and gnashing of teeth rehgarding Jones etc is pash poor. He obviously offers a lot in training.

Appreciate we probably aren’t spending big bucks on Jones but he should be in is prime (turning 28) by the end of this contract & hasn’t shown to be the standard we need.
Why not cut ties & look for a younger alternative, someone with a higher ceiling. Surely there are a few young guys on the periphery at Leinster & tearing up AIL 1A would be an option?

Re: Contract Situation
I would disgree, front line players need to be training against skill and experience... pure muscle from the academy isnt enough.
