Proving yet again you are whiney moron, give us list of Ulster players who have joined the other Irish provinces in last 5 years. Mentally deficient. Earl have you misread the post you originally responded to? LC is continually asking me to respond to things I've not done and he's thick as pig shit...

How many Ulster players have ulster produced for the other provinces in the last 5 years? You whine (your defacto response) when Leinster yet again have to send you players as not you deem them not good enough but Ulster have the pick of their own best palyers with very few joining any of the other...

earl the beaver

I'd be fairly certain there have been more UIster produced players capped over the past 5 years than Connacht. In the past 5 years (since summer 2019): Ulster (5) - Stewart, Lowry, O'Toole, Hume, Baloucoune, Connacht (3) - Boyle, Prendergast, Blade I have not counted players brought in from abroad ...

Statistically not true. But then you are mentally efficient Probably over the last 20 years but clearly not the case in the last 5 or so.

So we've been linked with a saffer, Payne and keeping Murphy on, oh and Pienaar was back in NI at the weekend.

earl the beaver

All you do is whine, you probably have the second biggest amount of players after Leinster. You produce the least number of players for the other provinces. Connacht are better developing players for the other provinces. Yet again we have to give you players as you fail to develop your own but all ...

Each entrant's core picks are scored based on their placing but if they finish in the top 10 they get an additional bonus 1= -20 2= -10 3 = -9 4 = -8 5 = -7 6 = -6 7 = -5 8 = -4 9 = -3 10 = -2 So those scores count instead of their placing There are then additional bonuses: -10 points for getting al...

Mr Edwards has resigned from BBC on medical advice https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68873266 What was it he did in the end? Looked at some only fans or something? Well done social media, you've done it again. I believe he paid a vulnerable 17 year old for some sexually explicit pictures....

earl the beaver

Results are in, some key stats, we had 10 entrants (technically 11 but Zappa's picks weren't elligible), 6 of us (including me) selected players not in the field and so scored 90 points, 7 of us picked the winner (which wasn't exactly a long shot), only one entrant had all their picks make the cut. ...

looks like no NIQ props in the provinces next season. Leinster not signing an NIQ TH anymore? Not replacing Kitshoff at Ulster is monumentally stupid, sending Ed Byrne up here isn't suddenly going to make him a live option for Ireland nor is it going to do anything Ulster than making the Ulster squ...

earl the beaver

Sounds like ACL/MCL for Hume. SK fully gone now too it seems, knee injury vs Clermont and he’s gone to SA for treatment. Ffs. Yay for plastic pitches that we can't even make money from in the off season because of resident complaints and licensing. Tbf, if I remember right the issue seemed to be wh...

Byrne is a washed up nothing player. It’d be doubtful if he gets ahead of Warwick TBH. This is the problem with signing players from Leinster. Usually it’s just the rejects. Milne, McCarthy & Boyle were the players that would have had a positive impact at Ulster. Not Byrne. If Murphy thinks he’s go...

earl the beaver

Still overachieving. Bit like Atletico in Spain or Dortmund in Germany. Not expected to win the title year after year. I can't think of many I would prefer ahead of him. Alonso maybe but he's raw. I like Frank and would prefer him to de Zerbi. Anyway reports saying his interview at West Ham didn't ...

earl the beaver

If he joins Liverpool.. he better be! If he joins West Ham... who cares! He does look good though... not just one season either... and plays positive football. I know he's highly rated but it's not like his Sporting team is romping to the title season after season: 20-21 - 1st 21-22 - 2nd 22-23 - 4...

earl the beaver

Hearing de Zerbi is the preferred choice at Liverpool. I hope not. But Hughes seems to like him. Not exactly data driven if it is him. Amorim to West Ham and they become a Champions League side within three years. Is he that good? If he joins Liverpool.. he better be! If he joins West Ham... who ca...

Some suggestions that big stu may be off as well after the rumour being shut down a few weeks ago

earl the beaver

The 42 suggesting Ulster are looking at Byrne as a direct replacement for Kitshoff, serious downgrade. Not based on Kitshoffs performances for Ulster. Disagree, our scrum is miles better with him on the pitch and he actually gets through a lot of work, puts in some massively physical tackles which ...

Cam has in the past blown a fair bit of smoke up McGrath's ass but I fail to see what's controversial about what he said? - McGrath was always good for a few poor passes - he is a good rugby player - he was the first decent SH we produced since Scally - he does have 19 caps (and went to WC 2019 as ...

earl the beaver

Cammy must be McGrath's dad or something, the only explanation.

earl the beaver

He'd always throw one or two into the ground or over the head. But that was because he was the first Leinster SH to pass as he got to ruck. That, allied to his prowess as an actual rugby player, is what made him. JGP has taken that MO and raised the bar, and I expect young Gunne to raise it further...

Scheffler is a freak, about to win again, no let up post masters.

Its not whether the calls right, there was a knock on from cooney prior to ulcers try and our captain asked for it to be reviewed and it wasn't. Adamson was gagging to review the last play, its so f**king corrupt. This si why we want out of the league, not because we think we'd be more successful a...

Could you imagine the frothing by the brave and the faithful if this was back in '08 or '09 when Munster were contributing the lions share of players to the national team, if a revision of the central contract system was brought in then? :? I don't care about the attacks on Leinster's success and w...

Except no conclusive evidence he even touched the ball.

Looked to me like he touched the ball on the replay and TMO and ref agreed.

There was a certain blonde lad who is playing for Leinster who is better now 22
It's okay for more than one team to have a good young player you know.
That may have been the point LC was making.

It most certainly was not.

Didn't you hockey them in Cardiff recently. We basically had a second string side out. Sheridan is going to be a serious operator for Ulster. He’s a real workhorse. Very impressed by Postlewaithe. He’s a future international. Not many 21 year old skillfull 6ft 4, 100kg+ backs about Irish rugby. The...

Good to hear. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Ewers 7. McCann 8. 9. 10. 11. Stockdale 12. 13. Hume 14. 15. That’s the only 1st choice players that started. Izzy made the try saver of the season for me. Monumental tracking back. So Doak, Lowry and Addison don't make your first XV? Maybe Addison based on selection...

That's not a deliberate knock on FFS.

f**king dire.

Murphy will need a lot of time to fix this rabble. I'm not sure what the Ulster lads expect. It's rare a coach can instantly fix systemic problems with a side. This isn't a side who were pretty good who lost their way. It's a side who finished the season 2nd in the league last season and apparently...

This is a properly, properly bad performance, worse than anything under McFarland.
