Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
Possibly gone by next season so:
Ed Byrne (he was given a senior contract while he was still injured so they clearly rate him. 5 senior Looseheads is a lot though)
Mike Ross (will he be given another season? He's clearly got more to give what with him leaving dragons players in the dust)
M McCarthy (Retired or France)
Triggs (wish him well wherever he goes, really honest bloke)
Dom Ryan (Ulster? Premiership)
Isa (really hope he stays, he is in top form. Hopefully the whole offer him another contract extension can be worked around)
Zane (same contract extension thing as Isa)
Barry Daly (Lot of back 3 talent, maybe a 1 year?)

Why? Because an academy backrow who was out of contract, got a 1 year deal?MunsterSugar wrote:Seems Leavy to Munster has merit looking at those renewalsarsebiscuits1 wrote:Possibly gone by next season so:

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
I'd be absolutely gobsmacked. He's up near the top of the charts with turnovers and offloads and is obviously rated by Leinster and national management.MunsterSugar wrote:Seems Leavy to Munster has merit looking at those renewalsarsebiscuits1 wrote:Possibly gone by next season so:

Leinster will be offering him a very nice deal and Munster can only match it and try promise more game time. Which wont stack up as he has played 18 games this season alone.
I am a firm believer that there is room for him. Him and VDF are both proper good 7's. Leavy has the advantage of being able to cover 6 too. That sets them apart from the other options who are all 6/8 who can fill in at 7.
Leavy brings an element to his game that other can't offer and for a horses for courses scenario, there is room

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
Think Lancaster will have much say in who leaves? First thing he did when he became England coach was clear out most of the older generation and built a side based on youth. They'll still have all the experienced internationals.
I also think they might go for one big name foreign signing. Probably a second row.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
If Mike Ross leaves/retires, we might need a one year NIQ tight-head. Cittadini is with Bayonne who are certain to be relegated, could be a solid option as competition with Bent to be Furlong's back-up next season or first choice during international windows. I don't think Loughman or Heffernan are near ready to be thrown in against the likes of Toulon, Castres, Saracens etc in Champions' Cup games.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
I thought that Mick Kearney was on a three year deal – was he announced in the period when they stopped giving details of contract lengths?
Keen to see whether we get Thornbury back on board or if we go in a different direction. There's a lot of contracts up for renewal in the second row. None of the lads currently contracted has let the side down, but nor have they gone out and been utterly convincing.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
Pretty sure I read an interview with kearney where he said he signed a 2 year deal. But could be wrong on that one.hugonaut wrote:I thought that Mick Kearney was on a three year deal – was he announced in the period when they stopped giving details of contract lengths?

Not sure what directions are on offer in terms of IQ'd locks leinster could try to sign.
Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
John Madigan only signed a one-year development contract with Munster this time last year [source: http://www.munsterrugby.ie/news/22214.php#.WLV-xGV5j-Y ]. He's not getting a look-in down there with Kleyn on board. Classic proportions for a tighthead second row [198cm and 124kg] and supposed to be a useful player ... very few people have seen too much of him because he missed his U20s year with illness and injury. I've only seen him a couple of times - we'd have to start from the ground up, but with that rare size he has potential.goreyguy wrote:Pretty sure I read an interview with kearney where he said he signed a 2 year deal.

Shure it'd be "for the good of Irish rugby"!
Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
He is also spend more time injured than healthy that past 3 seasons. Out now again with another injury this time his ankle.hugonaut wrote:John Madigan only signed a one-year development contract with Munster this time last year [source: http://www.munsterrugby.ie/news/22214.php#.WLV-xGV5j-Y ].

Could be worth investing in though, if Munster aren't keeping him around.
Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
GG has Charlie Rock been given a senior contract as well as Nick McCarthy? At least the "famine" of only having two scrum halves seems to be over.
Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the centre of the city.

No Rock is going into his final year in the academy.rdsblue wrote:GG has Charlie Rock been given a senior contract as well as Nick McCarthy? At least the "famine" of only having two scrum halves seems to be over.
I'd be surprised if a scrumhalf wasn't added to the academy this summer - either Nick Peters or Hugh O'Sullivan.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
The numerous injured second rows makes Big Dev's durability all the more amazing. We appear to have some lads who don't get injured
Dev
Jamie
Jack Mc
seem to be available for most games.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
I'm also pretty sure Nagle got a two year deal when he signed, so his contract runs out at the end of the 2017/18 season.

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
I've no issue with Nacewa signing but I'd ask what's difference between him extending and Pienaar.
I'm guessing you may see Ruan stay.
Good to see Nacewa stay though. A class act and though he's 34 those retirement years may have bought him longer career

Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
Great News, may be 34 but take off his year out and not playing 100 odd internationals he probably is only 30 in rugby years
Re: Leinster Senior Squad 2017/2018
Assume this means that the chances of Kirchner getting a new deal are reduced.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish
