Hell be kept if salanoa doesnt show positive signs quick

Can we just give up on Salanoa. He's not played in like 3 years.

I’d rather blood Foxe, or Kieran Ryan, or whoever PBC have in the schools cup

Tight head isnt really a position you blood. Its more of a physically ready ratger than a technically ready. Look at players like josh wych who we had to expose young, hes wrecked now. I reckon foxe will see some good game time next season, but id imagine hell be 3rd in the rotation at best. Aungier is a decent signing but we really need a second experienced tighthead especially with jagers injury issues too

Completely hear what you’re saying, I think I’m just of the mentality now that since the season very clearly tapered off that we should’ve gotten minutes into young lads even if it was to our detriment short term. Wood, Foxe, Ryan, the Edogbos, Quinn, Gleeson, Sheahan etc feel like they deserved more gametime. Wycherley, O’Donoghue and co have been given an awful lot of minutes

The mind boggles. Of all of the horrendous things that have gone on at Munster this season MAA is the worst. Put him directly in the bin.

The scary thing is you wouldn’t put it past our board sanctioning a second season for him given he’s cheap as chips

I’d go so far as to bet money on this happening. I do have to question why he continuously starts though - clearly McMillan is fond of him, no?

By all accounts we are keeping him next year until we can sign a TH post World Cup

u/The-Prince616 SUAF 4d ago

Which accounts? I haven’t heard anybody say that

u/eoghchop 4d ago

Coach keeps picking him too so you’d have to question his ability too

u/Johnny_Gorilla 4d ago

whats the alternative? We are so screwed for props.

u/Rodinius 4d ago

I’m sure he’s a nice lad, but holy god he’s a nightmare of a rugby player

I didn't see the game but saw the result.To be honest I expected it-even allowing for injuries we've been so poor.Shambolic line out,scrum.The off the field stuff etc.Not sure where we're going.

I missed the end, did Bartley get a chance at all?

1

u/Beginning-Strain4660 2d ago

How did Bartley get on when he came on? Could he play a bit more next season?

u/Weekly_Boat_6503 2d ago

u/frankand_beans 4d ago

Don't hate the player, hate the guy who signed off on the signing

u/Financial_Archer_242 Stand Up And Fight 4d ago

I thought MAA had a good game. Come at be bro, come at me!

u/Vegetable-Rock-6265 4d ago

Haley and Smith have been worse

3

u/Rodinius 4d ago

Have they each thrown a forward pass, given away multiple penalties and gone backwards in every contact?

Fuck right off, he's shite fair enough but he was shite when we signed him, .........there is a world of journey men in the munster squad but if you mention their names the down votes come like rain water, .......you all know who they are , but they're cork boys who went to right schools so blame the island man.
