Re: Rumour Mill
Probably why Joe is playing Kilcoyne.... Hey Jack if you want to be number two you got to move and I have someone else now if you don’t do what your told ..... can he not just go back to New Zealand and stop hurting the place that give him his first top job.mildlyinterested wrote:Another rumour going around twitter is that IRFU trying to get Jack McGrath to Ulster. fwiw
In fairness Kilcoyne deserves the bench spot but it always just lines up to hurt us. Leo and Stuart need to up their game in Building a culture of Loyalty around the place because the way so many of our lads suit themselves is sickening.

Jesus I thought the relationship between Leinster and Ireland was strained as it was but that would cause a serious stir
Especially post Carbery soap opera
Don’t really get your point re: culture and Leo
Not much they can do if this kind of cr@p is going on behind there backs really
I find joe comical, seems to screw Leinster any opportunity he gets....forgot where came from pretty quick imo

Re: Rumour Mill
only so much leinster can do when IRFU are actively encouraging it. They are the paymasters at the end of the day.
Expect similar to happen with Porter.

Andy Farrell has to coach against his country and his ONLY SON.
Should he be criticized anytime we beat England?

Re: Rumour Mill
So Joe should be loyal to his "previous team" but Andy Farrell shouldn't and not only that but he's also a bad example?

Re: Rumour Mill
By competing against England he’s not f%~king then over, if in his role as Irish manager he convinces his son to leave Sarries to play for Munster that would be bullshit against Sarries where he was employed and they would be right to call it.johng wrote:So Joe should be loyal to his "previous team" but Andy Farrell shouldn't and not only that but he's also a bad example?
Also he was sacked by England and loyalty works both ways.

Re: Rumour Mill
It’s not good enough (although given age profiles Porter would be more palatable than carbury), it’s not leinsters responseabilty to stock other teams. The players need to be leant on by the club, at the very least they should not go to Munster who are our biggest rivals. People are going to get fed up and stop going to games if this continues and we will turn into the Scottish and Welsh Pro 14 teams.mildlyinterested wrote:only so much leinster can do when IRFU are actively encouraging it.

If the other Provinces keep getting Leinster players for free there is no incentive for them to invest in their academics and fix them. One ulster player in the u20 23 for the first two rounds of the U20 six nations ..... on the bench .... not good enough

Re: Rumour Mill
I dont disagree, but the IRFU dont care, a strong leinster isnt the priority and in some ways makes thing harder for the irfu.Jonny tight lips wrote:It’s not good enough (although given age profiles Porter would be more palatable than carbury), it’s not leinsters responseabilty to stock other teams.

Munster will probably get another South African, they have so many South Africa Mercenaries playing for them these days you would swear Mark Thatcher is head of recruitment.neiliog93 wrote:More than likely one of Ed Byrne or Peter Dooley.

His wife just opened a business and they have a baby...I would say there's absolutely no truth to this, but let's keep bashing the IRFU despite it probably being complete nonsense.

Re: Rumour Mill
Why would Joe move a player for next season, it's disruptive?
McGrath was affected by carrying an injury and hopefully that will be fully resolved when he gets back to 100% which could be soon.
If he's frustrated with falling behind he may feel that it's a good option but it doesnt always work. Sharing duties with Healy has worked for a long time.
