Really?

Hidden talents maybe?

And Eddie O'Sullivan is still unemployed...... go figure

Stockdale, Ludik, Charles, Rory, Chad, Lili, Deysel, Tredders,Hendo, Big Stu, McCall, Reidy, Lyttle and it appears Cooney are talented imo. That's leaving out GLU and Bowe, who have undoubted talent, but their best years, like their ar$es, are all behind them.

Les only targets defeat in the matches where he says we are clear favourites.

Yeah but sure it's only Zebre so we don't need all our talented players. Leave out Stockdale, Chad, big Stu, McCall...then take Cooney off.

Treat Zebre with no respect and a defeat is fully deserved.

Kiss thinks himself the master tactician, when without those mentioned, we'll struggle at home and we'll get beaten up away.
We had a chance to put a load of points on the board and Kiss, with his resting his best players policy, cost us yesterday, as it has in the past and doubtless will again.

He needs to Play the Dave's when injuries make it necessary and start every game like it's a final.
Kiss has got this so wrong, so often

As always, I tend to try to be MR Brightside, that is one game closer to KISS being sacked.

Cool, ta Zebre. Can anyone take him seriously?

Baggy.... I am not sure we will get the Xmas present we want this year

Give him to Munster. Two birds...one stone...

Baggy - Would you settle for non- contract renewal beyond this season being announced at Christmas?

Short term I would like to see McCusker and O'Hagan given a chance ahead of 2MP and CB, would rather we got beat blooding youngsters who very well may improve than getting beat by players who we know can't/won't improve, mid to long term, would invest the money we'll save on Charlie in bring back either or both of Conor Carey and Finlay Bealham as well as Paddy McAllister, I would also ask the IRFU to send Tadgh Bernie North.

Is his contract up this year?

D'oh. I forgot that it is supposedly 5 years.

How about "leaving at the end of the season" then.

Started November 2015 - so only 3 left. Surely some performance related goals built in.

The fixture list over next 3 months will define where the whole thing is at.

Agree with previous posters re team continuity / youth. Pick our best available team week in / week out with youth selected in front of older squad players (where possible and there's no significant obvious drop in quality). The weekly chop change has gone on too long now

FFFS Cockers, I didn't want a Christmas present, it's a Halloween Horror I'm looking for.
