Player movement

Stan27

Looks like there could potentially be a decent player movement due to financial pressure/ overflow of players in certain positions/ position deficits.

What do people think will happen?

One Leinster no8 to go north would make sence.
Munster could so with an openside too i think.

I am in favour of this happening. A player like Max Deegan was looking world class and could actually be 4th choice at Leinster for Number 8. I wonder if a player moved for one year or two year with option of a move back would it work better for people?

Certainly think Joey (if fit) should be a Leinster player again and have no issue if Munster took a few other backs.

In most circumstances, Province A aren't going to take Province B's player for a year or two if he's definitely going back to Province B.

There should be a quota where leinster get to sign one world class NIQ for every, say, seven players they provide to the other provinces......

Does it need new thread. kind of discussed in few places already. What backrow would you suggest go north? Munster would be better using their academy options in backrow. a signing from leinster isnt really needed.

What exactly is world class. How much would other provinces want players if theyre only going to be there for 1/2 years before moving back?
Any other side who takes a player wants them to be with them long term and use them to build to future
Why should Carbery if fit be a Leinster player again when there is Byrne x2, Frawley at outhalf, Keenan and others to play full back. What does that achieve exactly??

Only the 1? should be at least 3.....

Neither Deegan nor Carbery should be moving any time soon. The former is rehabbing a knee ligament injury and who knows what's going on with the latter.

Quinn Roux and John Cooney both went to Connacht on loan. They both chose to stay when offered a deal, but the original deals were definitely temporary loan moves.

Their passports were seized Zzippy and they were forced to remain in Galway. I know it and you know it.

Cian Kelleher and Fionn Carr both left Leinster and came back Just saying I don't think it should be such a big deal It should be seen like the way Tommy Bowe left and came back and so did Sexton.

I was responding to your specific suggestion of an option to go back to their original province.

Teams aren't going to invest gametime/opportunities into a young player who they believe will almost certainly up and leave after a year.

If he improves the team they will. If he doesn't they won't.

I can definitely see one of leinster opensides going south, most likely Connors or Penny.

I would have said one of the 10s should leave a few months ago but it looks like Frawley is being developed as a 12 (quite successfully) and Sextons body is on the way out. So that just leaves the 2 Byrnes and Hawkshaw which is fine.

razorblunt

I think it's fair to say something needs to be done about the Leinster backrow and I don't mean in a "evening things up sense" there's just way too many quality players across the 3 positions.
It's a tough one for Leinster and the players themselves though.

hahashake

Would be hard to convince a player to move if he wouldn't be first choice at his new province or guaranteed Ireland selection.

Dubinusa

I think a lot of lads will move this year. Some of them to England and France. If they can earn more and get at least a couple of years.
I can see Healy looking for a last pay day. Maybe Cronin too.
The move interprovincially for less money may not be enough.
At this stage the IRFU probably will focus on getting as many academy lads promoted as possible. If there's no cash flow. How do they keep the players happy?

There isnt going to be any big pay days with covid continuing to affect people going to games.
You talk about cash flow. Well thats going to majorly affect a lot of players chances of going abroad.

They dont seem to want it.
Munster have Hodnett, but plenty others who can play 7 and wouldnt worry about that too much

Teams get players funded from the IRFU, they are greatly helped from the IRFU who entice players to stay in Ireland - so all of them need to also think in terms of what is best for Ireland and not just them.

with the injury rate of the back row, you will get game time if you are in the top 3 of 6, 7 or 8. But in some cases, Leinster have 4 or 5 who are decent standard so you are right, for their sake and Ireland sake some should go.

Maybe but when there is one or two involved with the irish squad there is plenty of game time for those who are 4th/5th in line in the run of the mill pro14 games and then there is always one or two players injured as well.

And you didnt answer What exactly is world class and how much would other provinces want players if theyre only going to be there for 1/2 years before moving back or why would Carbery be a Leinster player again when there is Byrne x2, Frawley at outhalf, Keenan and others to play full back.

Eh, players should do what's best for themselves. They're no different to anyone who's an employee.

Yeah and so to further their career they should be given possibilities to move to somewhere where they will get a better chance.

What I mean by "all of them" was the provinces.

Who do we foresee looking for game time elsewhere?
