we need a robust discussion on this, plenty of discussion about the football job so why not discuss getting a rugby league man in to manage our team?

ok guys, I’m guessing the scummy soccer crowd will have a field day with this one, if you could give me details of his previous managerial experience at least ill have some stats to argue with, what teams has he managed before? what has he won as a manager?

“The boys” will front up. They’ll be “stoked”.

I’m no rugby expert but replacing a NZ man with an English bloke can only be good news for Irish sports fans?

Imagine the sour look on O’Gara’s face over the breakfast table this morning when Farrell was announced.

Agreed, a rugby league man who has never managed

17

18

Why?

You dont think its disrespectful to us the irish rugby community getting a guy in whose first sport is rugby leauge and has never managed?

Because he’s from Caaaark

I’m not aware of Farrell ever having coached in rugby league. Rugby union his first sport for a long time now. He’s earned his spurs for the best part of a decade now as one of the worlds top coaches in rugby union. His time has come.
