    I see from the Leinster press release that some players are on Leinster contracts while others are on IRFU contracts.
    1)Healy
    3)ross
    15)Rob Kearney

    are the only three in that announcement.Cronin,strauss are not. assuming Best is on national hooker does that mean we only have 1 contracted nationally?
    Toner and McCarthy aren't either. assume Ryan has one, is POC the other?
    McFadden and Luke both featured in this years 6 nations and they haven't got one either.


    Read IRFU had cut back on international contracts but they really seem to have cut it back to around 15 from the looks of things.Puts pressure on the provinces financially i would imagine.
    Anyone know who else has them? D'arcy BOD would both have to have one i imagine.

    SOB has turned down a central contract already afaik. Zebo and Earls are on Munster contracts. Toner on a Leinster one.

    POM definitely has one, I think ROG is on one, Bowe has one as well AFAIK.

    Zebo doesn't, he signed a three year provincial contract with Munster.

    Trimble signed a two year national contract a few weeks ago.

    Ruddock surely doesn't have one?

    Ruddock? Toner? Really? That's fairly surprising seeing as neither are guaranteed to start for Leinster.

    Didn't know Trimbles contract was a national one. Bit strange considering he's fairly back in the pecking order

    Yeah it was announced during the 6 Nations when he wasn't even being selected in the squad. Very strange...

    Downey and Boss are not on central contracts.

    Downey is finishing the first of a 2 year Munster contract. Boss finishing the first of a 2 year Leinster contract.

    What!? Downey and Boss? Are you sure? Boss is as bad as Trimble, but Downey makes absolutely no sense. He's nowhere remotely near the Irish squad.

    It does all beg the question though about how they make the call on who gets them and why.

    EDIT: Just saw the responses.

    Trimble has fallen right down the pecking order, so has DOC

    Wallace and ROG surely won't get renewed for next season

    Ferris is clearly in negotiations-thus the Japan rumour

    Hard to believe POM gets one and SOB doesn't. european player of the year and likely lions tourist. POM lucky to be in and only there due to Ferris injury.

    You would wonder how these negotiations/recommendations take place.
    Like i'm not a murray fan but he is our best 9 and surely deserves a contract

    SOB was offered one but turned it down apparently.

    SOB was offered a central contract but he turned it down. I'd say Murray will be offered a central contract when his current deal ends.

    A number of those need to be cut from them.

    does he really need to tap up the second half of his comment?

    You were just throwing out names of players willy nilly.

    There is no way a lot of the people on your list are on central contracts and you continued to include more.

    This is all he is referring to by stating "Clueless."

    Healy(2016)

    Ross(2015)
    POM(2015)
    Kearney(2015)
    Trimble(2015)
    Bowe(2015)

    Best(2014)
    POC(2014)
    DOC(2014)
    Ryan(2014)
    Heaslip(2014)
    Darcy(2014)

    Ferris(2013) ??
    BOD(2013) ??
    Wallace(2013)
    ROG(2013)

    If thats the correct list thats the 4 that are most likely going to be cut. Huge doubt over BOD and Ferris too...

    So lets say 6 contracts not renewed (asuming they are keeping the same number of central contracts)

    I'd like to see

    Zebo
    SOB (whether he wants to or not)
    Marshall
    Henderson
    Gilroy/Earls (maybe both)

    Edit : Murray

    I think Zebo is contracted until 2016 with Munster.

    Hmm

    Can't think of many more who would be in line for one then, barring renewls.

    Summary:
    LH:Healy
    Hooker:Best
    TH:Ross
    2nd row:POC/DOC/Ryan
    BR: POM/Heaslip/Ferris

    SH: none
    OH: ROG
    Centre: Wallace,BOD, D'Arcy

    Wing: Trimble, Bowe
    FB: Kearney

    you would hope some restructuring takes place looking at this. Trimble getting a 2 year deal looks bizarre in these circumstances

    I thought Earls signed a central contract at the same time as Leamy did back in 2012.
