Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Out of interest by how much does the Union subsidise the provinces through central contracts. Assuming an average of €350K (wild guess) per player Leinster would seem to receive the largest subsidy year on year.
Munster
Earls
Murray
Ryan
POM
Zebo
Not sure if Stander has a central contract
Leinster
Ross
Healy
Heaslip
Toner
SOB
Henshaw
Sexton
Kearney
Anymore?
Ulster
Best
Trimble
Henderson
Payne
Bowe
Jack McGrath is surely deserving of one and will probably be promoted next contract. Some hefty bills kindly met by the Union each and every season.

Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Can see a few being added to that as well. McGrath & Furlong for sure but also Josh and Dan will be in demand. I suppose it's one of the benefits of developing your own players.

Not sure sure if Leavy or JVDF would get one based on the current criteria a where a player has to be deemed as a nailed on starter. Leavy will not and JVDF would be at best borderline. As I said Jack Mac will get one.

Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Does the fact that the IRFU pay the wages for over half of Leinster's 1st XV not constitute a handout.
What's the difference?
Cash comes out of the Unions coffers.
A subsidy is a subsidy and Leinster are subsidised to a much greater extent than either Munster or Leinster and literally infinitely more than Connacht.

Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Seems the one big thing Nucifora has managed to achieve is stoke the interprovincial rivalry when it was all getting a bit stale for a while.

The difference is that they're only part-time players for Leinster. Leinster don't have the Racing Munstro luxury of both losing money and signing NIQ's at a whim.All Blacks nil wrote:Does the fact that the IRFU pay the wages for over half of Leinster's 1st XV not constitute a handout.

But have you any proof to show that that directly effected the finances that Ulster received?
The irfu are running at a fairly healthy profit, so I can't see why they would do that.
The figures were stated earlier but given that it's obvious that there's limited funding and that Munster's losses and unserviced debt are a cost for the IRFU then the burden of proof should lie on you to claim other than the logical interpretation.
Connacht's loss was planned and budgeted for and based on decisions taken by the Professional Game Board, not a consequence of a province overreaching.
Then there's Ulster who, despite getting nearly 15m sterling from the NI government to help pay for the Kingspan, needed, and got, extra funding from the IRFU. I don't see you complaining about that. I wonder why?
Leinster having more central contracts is to do with the considerably more strategic (to IRFU) players here. If Munster produced more elite players for Ireland they'd get more central contracts. They do fairly well given their contribution over the last few years.

There will be a link in next years IRFU report but take that it is 100% accurate, I did get KPMG wrong as some one said it was PWCmunster#1 wrote:No need for the Turnip comment.rooster wrote: Thanks Armchair for telling the Turnip what actually happened and that is exactly how I heard it, was approx 500k each donation from Leinster and Ulster budget that headed south West.
Again, can you provide a link to this information? Is this just something that was heard in the pub from a friend of a friend, because bar internet forums I can not find any comments made in relation to this?
Again, given the health of the irfu finances, I find it strange that held back finances from other provinces, to carry one.
Makes sense if the irfu were running on a tight budget, which isn't the case.

Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Amazed to see @simonokeeffe that Henderson is only on Provincial contract. Almost equally amazed that Zebo is still on Provincial contract but more understandable given his top form in green jersey has come in last 10 matches.
Re Henderson, it is possible he has Provincial deal, with local corporate support, akin to J10, SOB &Jamie in Leinster although they also have core National contracts.
The lesson is clear, don't get injured coming up to Contract negotiations!

Re: David Nucifora - 2015/2016
Just read a great new piece in Demented Mole, headlined as about Toner but covering all four current Irish second-rows. Probably gave me the most rational explanation I could have found about Henderson's contractual position. When he (eventually) comes to love playing in the row, he'll deserve a National Contract.simonokeeffe wrote:part of it is Hendo and Zebo signed 3 year deals, at time we still had POC and dont think Zebo was as far up the pecking rder as he is now but they got big/long dealsRuckedtobits wrote:Amazed to see @simonokeeffe that Henderson is only on Provincial contract.

Central contracts were cut back in numbers so they were more obviously only for strategic contracts rather than a reward for becoming a regular. They wanted to roll back the differentiating factors and blur the lines (thereby being less controversial).
They make it less obvious, especially for younger players who weren't originally on central contracts.

Trimbles one at the time was dodgy AF and blatant horsetrading, I remember complaining he was literally 7th choice back 3 player
while we're complaining, Munster need more jokers than DC comics yet can send 2 players on loan to Connacht, its a conspiracy I tells ya
