Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
Ross Byrne was exiled for a few years, got a chance and got back in. Molony was out, got a chance as a last minute sub for Ireland A in the RDS. But that was that. It was so low profile the updated team is relatively hard to find online. Treadwell has 11 caps. Molony got picked behind 2 players he w...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Lenihan is good rivalry. When he's talking about it it's still fun.
Other people cross that line.

Ah you can't expect Donal to hold his tongue when there's a chance to talk Con.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
I don't think there's any way we cut Molony. Maybe we didn't give that strong an offer.
He's not getting capped or all that likely to get capped. If it was Munster they'd be raging against the IRFU for not picking him so they could keep him easier. We don't think that way.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
It's actually not particularly fair on Munster or Ulster. They need help more, but we have a stronger case to that we'll get a return on the investment. If the IRFU gave Munster an extra million euros, what could they do with it. Is that enough? Agree with this. Jackman was talking about the potent...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
I haven't heard any grumbling about us being allowed sign Barrett. Yet. I'm sure it's out there is the usual quarters, but no one really listens to them. It might filter in to the national press but this is a win for the IRFU that reflects well on the strength of Irish rugby. Barrett choosing us is ...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
I don't know how many more Barrett's I could take.LeinsterLeader wrote: ↑April 16th, 2024, 11:04 am Does anybody remember when over the last couple of seasons Leinster started to release 3 re-signing's a day (on a Thursday I think) over a few weeks. Was it around this time or was it closer to seasons end?
Far too much excitement.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
Box Office move.. Munster fans only jealous that its not them. Sure, they wouldn't know what to do with him. It'd be like expecting a McLaren to do the work of a combine. They'd know exactly what to do with them. They sign international centres every season and get them to play below their potentia...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
Ps for those moaning about our transfer policy, first we ain’t finished and second believe in our coaching team to get it right, they have not let us down since Leo took over. I'm one of the most negative and I'm merely concerned. We need a TH. If we are spending political capital to get irfu to ap...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
There were months of discussions with New Zealand rugby.
This is a solid example of how karma comes back when you look after players.

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
We had 5 NIQ starting for us last time we played in Croke Park.
No ones complaining that we pick Henshaw, Lowe, Gibson Park. One wouldn't get away with calling them mercenaries.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
It is a remarkable vote of confidence in the players, coaches and the rugby culture of our Club, Leinster, that Jordie Barrett chose to spend his unique six-months sabbatical , with us. He had many options and I am delighted he decided to join Leinster and hope that he enjoys his time with us as mu...

Re: Rumour Mill
Intake players aren't going to be disenfranchised by missing gametime while Barrett is here.
It's too short timeframe to make career decisions. Certainly not for intake where you're thinking 4 years ahead.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
Agree. And loose head and scrumhalf as well before centre We need neither a loosehead nor a scrum half. In fact, we probably have one loosehead too many. He plays every position from 10 - 15. We have already signed a second row and there is zero possibility we can sign another NIQ there. This signi...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
Ngatai is out of contract and there's no way we'd be allowed extend him now if we haven't already. We also wouldn't mention he was leaving in the press release announcing Barrett.

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
I genuinely don't understand the complaining about this one - it's an incredible and exciting signing. This is exactly the sort of signing you want to make, genuine difference makers and world class players. Part of me does, it's reflexive. We don't really have a need for a player like that. Even t...
