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...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
That's terrible news and is the opposite of the Leinster Way. Signing Snyman is bad enough, this compounds it. This now surely confirms that Ngatai is leaving. We're losing 3 capped NIQ players and signing 2. 1 for a half season. We've never made a comparable signing. Even Thorn was out to pasture ...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24
any talk of players leaving? Heard murmurs of Charlie Ngatai which would make sense. In the same way as Mike was signed to facilitate Porter moving across, I can't imagine Jordie Barrett doesn't also come with the proviso of losing a Frawley and/or Harry to Ulster and Munster Barrett isn't the sort...

Re: Rumour Mill
A signing doing the SH season would normally be coming in November anyway. So we're basically getting a full season as he's coming shortly after internationals return. If he's taking a career break option it's an easier calendar in the URC compared to getting flogged in France. We're a good place to...

Its not actually cheap as so many seats are category 1 or higher.
Decent news at least.

Congrats. My advice is Google the proposed full name so you don't do this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthyRuckedtobits wrote: ↑April 10th, 2024, 5:12 pm
Good luck to any or all who are waiting. It's amazing how useful a Flight Delay can be!
Anyway, Ronan appears to be on the tip of every tongue these days.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
Molony and Jenkins have each played 15 games with 5 league games left and up to 5 more knockouts. That's a massive amount of gametime.
We probably are tight for next year unless we've very positive that Soroka will bolt, and maybe even then.
