OK I admit it, I'm a miserable spoofing git. I hate everything.Ulsters Red Hand wrote:Uh ohunseenwork wrote:Treadwell really has lost a decent bit of bulk there for the better, great season from the young lad.
It is hard to label Piutau a waste of money as he’s single handedly won us games this year but I agree money should maybe have been spent else where at the time. We’ve been really unlucky with Coetzee and Deysel as well, the latter has only looked good when he’s not had to do all the tight workcamroc1 wrote:It needs better players.Ulsters Red Hand wrote:Gavin Cumminsky on Twitter claiming our coaching ticket just needs time
There have been some poor buy-ins since the original late noughties Saffer influx (and they were by and large successful). Some of signings (and Piutau comes immediately to mind) seem more driven by marketing needs, than playing ones.
There has definitely been too many jobs for the boys and keeping players on because they are "nice lads".Floppykid wrote:I get the vibe there's a lot of rot all the way through Ulster, you don't go through as many coaches as they have without it.

Weston Super Mud isn't faraway.Sissyfuss wrote:Jake Heenan gone to Bristol? Good surfing there?
I felt tired just reading that.
So what he's really saying is that Furlong was seagulling taking a break.......
You don’t think he’s handsome enough to be allowed out there?CM11 wrote:So what he's really saying is that Furlong was seagulling taking a break.......

Will VDF start against France do you think?jezzer wrote:The whole pack put in a huge shift but Furlong, Cronin, VDF and Ryan really stood out for me
I'd be surprised if he didn't. But then I would say that.hermie wrote:Will VDF start against France do you think?jezzer wrote:The whole pack put in a huge shift but Furlong, Cronin, VDF and Ryan really stood out for me
Yeah, I think I'd go with Leavy for his greater physicality, especially against France.Nolanator wrote:Wouldn't be surprised to see Leavy for a bit of extra biff.
He doesn't get tired. I think it'd be more likely that Conan/Leavy comes on at 6.Mr. Very Popular wrote:The way VDF has played recently I think he has to start, let him run himself into the ground for 50 and then bring on Leavy.
Probably, not a bad problem too have.Diego wrote:He doesn't get tired. I think it'd be more likely that Conan/Leavy comes on at 6.Mr. Very Popular wrote:The way VDF has played recently I think he has to start, let him run himself into the ground for 50 and then bring on Leavy.
Nope. Missed the opener in 2010 or 2011, SOB played 8. Against France too.camroc1 wrote:The first 6N since 2007 that we won't be starting with Heaslip at 8 ?
I think Leavy's strength over the ball will be a better compliment to POM and Stander.Lenny wrote:Yeah, I think I'd go with Leavy for his greater physicality, especially against France.Nolanator wrote:Wouldn't be surprised to see Leavy for a bit of extra biff.
Certainly wouldn't bet against it being Jordi.rialtoblue wrote:Bod reckons it will be jordi with vdf on the bench
I'd forgotten that, but some run from Heaslip all the same.CM11 wrote:Just checked, sorry, it was Italy 2010.
No, not at all. He's playing very good rugby.CM11 wrote:Certainly wouldn't bet against it being Jordi.rialtoblue wrote:Bod reckons it will be jordi with vdf on the bench
We need the biff against France. He should start.Nolanator wrote:Wouldn't be surprised to see Leavy for a bit of extra biff.
He came into the team in 2008.camroc1 wrote:The first 6N since 2007 that we won't be starting with Heaslip at 8 ?
Listening to the head of Epcr doesn't fill you with confidence that we'll ever see the final here again. Lots of waffle about no easy games tooYOYO wrote:Brian Moore podcast “Full Contact.” Some chat about Jordan Lamour on it. Alan Quinlan a guest this week amongst others. Nigel Owens too.
