Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
I suppose there's no harm taking the chance on a player. Tigers fans are disappointed to see him go but I'm not sure that tells us much. Him only getting 2 games isn't great but then again, look who the coach is.
Connacht have a few players with potential. Gallagher, Claffey and Thornbury all look decent prospects. Gannon looks like a decent squad player but no more.

I'd rate Cannon. Haven't seen this new guy play so can't say. As for Cannon being better than Nagle and Kearney? The answer is yes.

Tadgh Beirne probably looked similar to the Scarlets fans and look how that turned out!dropkick wrote:I suppose there's no harm taking the chance on a player.

EOS passed over again!
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Sung as a duet by his former fellow Coaches at the Brumbies, David Nucifora and Anthony Eddy. Well if Rassie could get his mate a job, Dave can sure get jobs for two mates.Oldschool wrote:New fan song.RavenhillRaider wrote:Andy Friend appointed Head coach http://www.planetrugby.com/news/andy-fr ... cht-coach/

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
Questions beginning to be asked about the turnover of coaches on his watch?

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
As a Leinster fan he (only) turned over the only coach I wanted him to turn over and I'm not alone in thinking that.Dave Cahill wrote:Questions beginning to be asked about the turnover of coaches on his watch?
By all accounts Keane and Kiss were popular ( with the fans and possibly the players too) turnovers too.
Rassie wasn't a turnover.
Lam wasn't a turnover.
If he was involved in Tom Tierney's turnover then you wouldn't get too many arguments against it.
So whoever is asking the questions is just trying to stir the proverbial.

It was September last year. Surprised Jordan Duggan and Conor Hayes seemingly didn't make it. Niall Murray is the pick of the local lads.

Was shocked to hear this. A nicer fellow you would never meet. Hope he is ok.
