Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

Having a 10 argument today is a coping mechanism lads. This leinster team should have dominated Europe when everyone was in their prime and they didnt because of Cullen being entirely out of his depth. Now most of the main men are older and not quite at the same level but Cullen is inexplicably still there, and Nienbar hasn't brought the spark it was hoped he would

Where's that lad that proudly claimed he would down in Bilbao enjoying his prawn sandwiches?

He was going to tell us how they tasted. I'm desperate to know

Bordeaux had: a better lineout, better Maul, Better Defense, Better Attack, Won 90% of collisions firs half, Better handling, Better kicking….

But when you look at the players on paper theyre pretty close…… which means there must be an absolute gulf in coaching/tactics/preparation.

How the **** did Leinster not hire Noel Mcnamara, theres an infection in the leinster organisation and it needs to be uprooted.

You don't lose 5 finals out of bad luck, root and branch changes needed anyone who thinks a tweak here and there will fix anything is deluded.

Paddy Mccarthy and Ryan Baird injury managment is the perfect sign at how badly this leinster coaching ticket is making its decisions.

Just terrible all round.

Why was he even on the bench?

Why was he even starting?

Wouldn’t surprise me

Noel McNamara speaks like a pro

Imagine having that at Leinster

I've always been fairly ambivalent towards Cullen. He has delivered the required for the IFRU to keep him. Plenty of test quality players delivering at a high enough level.

Unfortunately that hasn't the been enough for Leinster to win the highest honors. The Leinster board needs to look at other options. Motivationally and tactically we've been outside again and again.

This. And Madigan deflected and would not answer the question related to Cullen. It's an old boys' club, where any slight criticism of Cullen is deemed "negativity against Leinster". See Cullen's presser a few weeks back.

What negativity in the press! They are simply asking standard questions, ffs. Yet you have Leinster fans talking about "Red" journalists' bias being out to get poor Leo and Leinster? Imagine the "criticism" if he were managing a Top 14 side or a Premiership team!

This is the reason why Cullen will be given a further two years at the helm, when any other top club competing for the European Champions Cup would have booted him out years ago. Never mind last year after his myriad boneheaded decisions against The Saints.
