Re: Replacement 10
If we had a different CEO, say just for the sake of it, let me think, Gordy Hamilton, would it make any difference to our relationship with the IRFU? Just wondering like.

Re: Replacement 10
It just shows how pig-headed Nucifora is when he turns down the option to bring Ruan back as a 10. Absolutely no reasonable explanation for blocking this.

Re: Replacement 10
Not surprised in the slightest. He's playing for a tight knit club who've come up together. What would he be trading that for? A dysfunctional club full of Daves, with no coach, with a clown at CEO, owned by FIRFU run by Leinster and Munster men for the benefit of whom? Not a hope in hell of him coming back here.prawnsarnies wrote:Already asked a few months ago.stickinout wrote:I'd be amazed if he came back here. Maybe if the money was right?

Re: Replacement 10
I think ex players, especially successful international players, would get a certain amount of respect from the start, regardless of what else they would bring to the party. what do you think our CEO got or gets? He's a lackey, a lap dog, a yes man, a non-entity in D4. Maybe his Midas touch reputation has reached the hallowed halls of D4? Clown. BTW, when the f@ck is he gone?Gary wrote:If we had a different CEO, say just for the sake of it, let me think, Gordy Hamilton, would it make any difference to our relationship with the IRFU?

Absolutely. I think Nucifuhrer is going to lose this one but i don't think he'll give us what we need or deserve.Dave wrote:No I don't.

Black - South African no difference it was never the point I was making the importance placed on the that description is of your making not mine .
That he is another Carberry is the point he is a running brainfart .
And the length of contract he would be seeking for what could be a one season mess .

Difference -- he might like to come and he would not be suffering as being seen as an imposed Dublin plant .
But I don't rate him highly as an outhalf .
