Surprised it is not a bit more than that figure.

Ryan got a 4 yr (effectively) deal last time around and I considered it excessive but his performances over the past 12 months have justified his National Contract.
Healy, Payne, Earls & Bowe are fortunate to have National Deals at present but they have contributed significantly in the past.
I certainly wouldn't give them away willy nilly and neither Dillane nor Jackson are current starters when all are available. Jack McGrath certainly fills that description and Furlong is getting very close and JVDF is almost within the "must include in Squad" category.

Really? Lets not hope its a sweetheart deal to move him up north
LeRouxIsPHat wrote:Yeah but my point was that the IRFU don't seem to be playing hard ball in a position where we're very very strong. It's not that the contract itself is that amazing. For a start, even if it's the going rate it must be a huge increase in what he's on currently. Famous last words but it bodes well for everyone else who's negotiating. I wasn't looking at it in isolation either, the extra guys being signed by Connacht and Munster would also be an indication of finances being in a good place.

Part of Nucifora's job description seems to be to get rid of expensive imports.
The more he succeeds, the more money that will be available to nurture and incentivise local talent.

Crazy not to give him three years
Ruckedtobits wrote:Hope they give him as long holidays as Lucifora gets - 5 weeks in mid-season according to S. Times. Rumour has it no Province could get a decision from the IRFU since beginning of December, except Munster re Taute!

Depends how much they offer, he could opt for 2 and then push a rise again for a 3
