I thought i'd list the players likely out of contract this season, ages as of end of contract:
Confirmed out of contract:
Cian Healy(32) - Signed central 3yr contract until 2019 WC.
Jack McGrath(30) - Signed central 3yr contract until 2019 WC.
Sean O'Brien(32) - Signed central 3 yr contract until 2019 WC.
Jonathan Sexton(34) - Signed central 4 yr contract until 2019 WC.
Robbie Henshaw(26) - Signed 3yr contract until 2019 WC.
Rob Kearney(33) - Signed central contract until 2019 WC.
Scott Fardy(34) - Signed 2 yr contract in 2017
Jamie Gibson Park(27) - Signed 3 yr contract in 2016
Signed contract in 2017:
Andrew Porter(23) - Signed contract in 2017
Ed Byrne(25) - Signed contract in 2017
Bryan Byrne(25) - Signed contract in 2017
Mick Kearney(28) - Signed contract in 2017
James Ryan(22) - Signed contract in 2017
Jack Conan(26) - Signed contract in 2017
Dan Leavy(25) - Signed contract in 2017
Max Deegan(22) - Signed contract in 2017
Luke McGrath(26) - Signed contract in 2017
Ross Byrne(24) - Signed contract in 2017
Noel Reid(29) - Signed contract in 2017
Rory O'Loughlin(25) - Signed contract in 2017
Barry Daly(26) - Signed contract in 2017
Adam Byrne(25) - Signed contract in 2017
Leaving
Ian Nagle(30) - signed contract in 2017.
Nick McCarthy(24) - signed contract in 2017.
Haven't listed any players who may have signed a 1 year deal last season or academy players who only sign 1 year deals now, and of course some of the players listed above may have signed 3 year deals in 2017 meaning they aren't out of contract. But it's the best we are going to get at this time.

Re: Contract Season
Interesting to see if we hold on to all of the above players.
Deegan and the Byrne brothers may look elsewhere for game-time, whoever's decision that may be.

Re: Contract Season
There are a few there who we are going to have to pay for that have been on cc's that we are going to struggle to afford.
Questions over the ROI on the likes of RK and SOB if there is still a place for them on the international scene.

RK is physically much more likely to be ABLE to continue playing after the RWC than SOB.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Was that "rule" on finishing your career in Ireland to avail of the tax break revoked in the end?Peg Leg wrote:There are a few there who we are going to have to pay for that have been on cc's that we are going to struggle to afford.

If so, you could see both of those looking for some sunny retirement pay cheques.
Re: Contract Season
My understanding is that the player needs to retire in an EU country to avail of the tax break. Therefore the options might be a little more limited soon enough.curates_egg wrote:Was that "rule" on finishing your career in Ireland to avail of the tax break revoked in the end?Peg Leg wrote:There are a few there who we are going to have to pay for that have been on cc's that we are going to struggle to afford.

Re: Contract Season
Assume Sexton will be on a central until he retires, I wonder if they will pay up for both Healy/McGrath.
Henshaw surely on a central, do Ryan and Leavy join him?

Re: Contract Season
You have to be resident in Ireland or an EEA or EFTA country in the year of retirement. Someone in the UK could get around an issues simply enough by retiring early in the year and moving back to Ireland in time to be tax resident for the year.cormac wrote:My understanding is that the player needs to retire in an EU country to avail of the tax break.

Re: Contract Season
Didn't realise that was how it was operated. The definition on the revenue page is a little unclear on that issue.Schumi wrote:You have to be resident in Ireland or an EEA or EFTA country in the year of retirement.

Re: Contract Season
So would Deegan. Jack Conan hasn't exactly nailed 8 down like Jamie did so there's opportunity there.mildlyinterested wrote:Bryan would be a bit crazy to leave IMO.Leinsterlunatic wrote:Interesting to see if we hold on to all of the above players.
