Munster 2016-2017

[deco]

I'm just surprised they didn't sign a medical joker for Conor Murray

[johng]

I think people missed the sarcasm about them getting a replacement

Whoosh does not do it justice.

I saw no one asking whether they would get a replacement. Apart from Ronk asking whether it was ok to discuss it. (Which I presume was what you are calling sarcasm)

Then again I saw nothing that would make people leave the forum either. How can Munster people who come on to a Leinster forum to banter be so upset at so little?

I have rarely read their forum never mind posted on it. If I did I would not expect everyone to tell me how great I am.

I support Munster when they are not playing us. I am happy to have them on here as I am for fans of any team we play. Yes there are people on here who take it a bit far in terms of their Munsterbating, Is that not to be expected though? Has anyone ever read the Alternative Ulster forum?

I also agree that the trolling of both sides can be tiresome, but again what do you expect? One man's banter is another's bullying etc.

They were WUMs and nobody should have commented on them leaving, that's what they wanted. I deliberately ignored them and lo and behold saw they had been online after my comment. Good riddance, need to weed out the rest now.

Yes that's what I took for sarcasm. And I'd agree with that post entirely.

Ah Ronk was being sarcastic IMO about them getting a joker with 2 regular season games remaining, then a few people said they wont get a replacement

For more corporeal matters for their trip to Treviso theyre missing their front row, TOD, POM, Deysel, Conway, probably Murray and Copeland, with Scannell the younger going through RTP

[ronk]

There's a certain small section of Munster support that I've never seen as animated and upset over an issue, and I'm really only seeing this in retrospect.

I understand now, it wasn't a little thing. It was a closely held belief that was core to their vision of their support and in this instance it was demonstrably and obviously false.

[ronk]

I suppose it depends on whether they care about winning this match. They have players, some they should be careful with. Some are fresh but at a lower level

They should just for momentum in the league/keepings heads up

[paddyor]

Madigan the 2nd row being let go at the end of the season. Chisholm also on the way out (actually retiring). Rumour on planet rugby that Ryan is definitly gone too and they''re going to look for an NIQ lock.

They'll be back.

[simonokeeffe]

I dont think they should be allowed an NIQ one, have one already and theres a reasonable amount of IQ locks to be had. Plus DOC2 could be converted. And not like theyll be losing any locks to Ireland squads for 2 years

The IRFU might be tempted to allow them another project player, even if it would go outside their own guidelines.

Who's out there that's IQ? Beirne, Flanno and Denton are the ones I can think of

[Dave Cahill]

DIllane and Aki, I'm tellin' yis!

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Definitely agree about Dillane (and I'm sure Munster would like both) but there's something about Aki that makes me think his time here will end in disaster. I don't see him playing for Munster and struggle to see him playing much for Ireland. Just a gut feeling but I reckon the more Connacht struggle the more he'll lose the head.

Maybe the carrot of playing for Ireland will prevent that but I just don't think he cares about putting on an Ireland jersey tbh.

Suppose they shouldn't have moved Foley on either.

Their depth at lock isn't even that bad. Holland, Kleyn, O'Shea, McCarthy with DOC2 and Copeland able to help out. Better than what we have at tighthead, though we should probably sign a backup there.

In 2 weeks time project players will have to wait 5 years to qualify. Same day ad the draw for the world cup pools. Anyone signing after that will have to wait until 2022.

Is that for certain? AFAIK they need 75% to get it past and it's not clear that they have that.

Get 'em while they're hot! It's what Nucifora is for. Or something.

Might not be a popular opinion here but I can see circumstances where Fardy plays six for us next year...

I would be pretty pissed if he was selected to start there. Woulndt mind as much if he shifted during a match. We have a lot of depth there.

They were wums but they brought valid opinions in many cases. Unfortunately some on here are too easy to wind up and don't know when to wind down again. And f%~k you buddy, I'll comment where I see fit. [Friendly dig to the arm]

That said I don't understand why anyone would visit an opposition club fan forum just to trash talk the club. But then again I wasn't "born into rugby".
