[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1091321, member: 45598"] He's CEO of cityjet and Leinster used to charter a plane from them but I think that's over. To be fair I'd fallen into thinking Ross was good at points this season, he looks excellent regular league level but suits the bed beyond that. Currently having a second choice 9 who can't pass and a second choice 10 who who can't play rugby is our biggest weakness in my opinion. A proper ruthless coach wouldn't have let these two lose us as many big games as they have over the years, McGrath was first choice ahead of JGP until this year, if not for Andy Farrell he still would be, we can't let Ross keep Harry down next season. Lack of intensity and leadership is another issue, I really don't think Ryan is a captain, he plays worse with the role and so does his pack. Apart from VdF the entire pack looked better when Sexton came on and he was in the bin, that makes no sense. The coaching team is set for next season and I think it should be its last regardless of how well they go, a rebuild post Sexton is needed and we need some toughness. Go get ROG. The talent is there but the squad is soft, I think physicality is being overstated it wasn't as big an issue as previous years, we were in both games we lost and yesterday was a real bottle job more than being bullied. We had a couple big defensive sets that should have rallied the team but didn't have the 10 on the pitch to do so. Last time we didn't win a trophy was 2017, 2023 has to be like 2018 or a lot of these guys are going to have underachieved massively in their careers. [/QUOTE]
