BOD may have been taking photos of the first game his daughter came to. Let's not get too carried away until he actually says something.

Yeah but you'd only bring a baby out in that weather if you wanted her to be at one of her dad's games and it might have been last opportunity. Just my read. Hope it's wrong!

Yea but when it was time to leave for the match the weather was nowhere near as bad as that - I was out in just a sweatshirt with the coat rolled up in the bag.

Let's not be too hasty, has anyone considered the fact that they might just be terrible parents?

I think I'd rather think that than think about his retirement tbh.

Goodman has re signed/leinster have taken up second year option on his contract according to Tasman Makos

See Ferris possibly off to Japan according to Thornley today. Given his lack of rugby recently mightn't be a bad move to get some game time in over the summer and be back this time next year a la Brad Thorne. Good cash and not the physicality of other leagues

Bod just on OTB saying he won't make up his mind until after the Lions.

Says that Leinster have publicly stated that they will not be allowed to replace him with anyone non Irish, so he is under no pressure to make a decission.

Update

Special Cases
O'Driscoll No news yet....
Cullen Wants to stay

Top Players
Fitzgerald No news yet
Strauss No news yet

Tier 2
O'Malley No news yet
Ryan No news yet
Roux staying
Cronin staying
McGrath staying

Year to year
Goodman staying
Browne Possibly retire?

Younger Players
Cooney No news yet
Flanagan No news yet
Macken No news yet

Academy Year 3
Coghlan-Murray No news yet
Hudson No news yet
Marshall Staying
Murphy Staying
O'Connell Staying
Reid No news yet

Looks like we will have 6 Locks inc Marshall without a big NIQ signing, so perhaps no contract for Browne even if he can come back from injury.

I have put staying beside any player that has been announced in some way that is not official. (Including on this forum)

If a player has been officially announced either staying or going I have deleted them.

I STILL reckon no one will know about Bod (including himself) until the summer. Leo may announce sooner.

Fitz and Strauss are obviously the ones we STILL want tied down as soon as.

O'Malley and Ryan have had a lot of injury problems so I'd say they will not be going to another club.

Goodman staying has been announced in NZ.

Cooney, Flanagan, Macken I would say will be kept.

Hudson and Reid too, with SCM possibly getting a 4th year spot in the Academy as he missed much through illness.

we can forgive BOD this/owe him, but any other playing saying he'd decide re contract for September in July would be told where to go

he does go we have 1 dimensional/samey partnership of Darce/Ferg or EOM gets 13 shirt, Isa could be a good 13 if he stays

for Irish 13's, Munster have no one worth taking, Connacht have good 12s and Henshaw (locked down), Farrell at Ulster only Irish based 13 with another province I can vaguely think of that would be worth considering, cant think of anyone based abroad unless theres some guy in NPC or something with Irish lineage

so Earls is a winger and you don't rate Cave?

bamboozle · Post by **bamboozle** » March 14th, 2013, 9:38 am

much as i'd love to see BOD go on forever, if he gets selected for the Lions i'd be shocked if he doesnt announce his retirement from rugby upon completion of a 3 nil lions winning series.

He will want to leave on a high and i just cant see him playing just for Leinster next season. Wouldnt be surprised if he is fuming behind the scenes over the way DK gave Heaslip the captaincy.

He might want to see who the new Irish coach is. Would be a massive vote of confidence if bod extended his career to work with the new guy

Bod needs to retire before he gets any more head injuries. The guy is jeopardising his future health and happiness.

I'd take Lualala in a heartbeat, but I think if EOM remains injury free he'll surprise a lot of people outside of the Leinster circles.

That's the problem though it is always going to be "if EOM remains injury free"

AdamK · Post by **AdamK** » March 14th, 2013, 1:05 pm

Yeah, exactly why I'd take Lualala. I think he's wasted down south. He'd thrive up here.

Barely looked interested for Munster this season. I've heard he's fishing for offers from Japan and Munster would be quite happy to let him out of his contract to be shot of him.

for comparing Earls and BOD as 13s I have reported you to the moderators; no matter what he thinks/wants Earls is very much a winger
was thinking of availability too, Cave good provincial player but first choice at Ulster so why would he leave? Theyve a chance of winning things these days unlike when Boss left

Laulala turned down Munster for Blues when moved hemispheres originally and that was blatantly financially motivated not rugby, salary cap comes in and he skedaddled. He's still best 13 at Munster and was brilliant in first season at Cardiff. Though Munster release him means we get first dibs on an NIQ 13
