Some likely out of contract players we are waiting to hear updates on.

What is Tadhg tired of winning trophies or something?
Horeswood is on the border with Munster though, right on the border.

[wixfjord]

COB will be an interesting one actually.

Definitely worth a new contract based on potential. This could've been a breakout season for him, but has been riddled with injuries.

Would be brilliant to see him and Adam Byrne get a bit of game time before end of season.

Jukebox is a through and through Leinster guy ain’t moving. Plus what signal does that send after the work that Leinster has been doing over the last number of years to really try and pick up players from the other counties as well as the private schools.

That will be disappointing particularly the way he was able to bull through players and offload, but he is like Daly too many injuries haven’t allowed him to show his true worth

I mean he won't be back this season. Not sure what will happen with his contract..

I love the guy, but Tadhg Furlong has played 55 minutes in this competition this season. On a pro rata basis that's up there with Rocky Elsom being in the Heineken Cup all time team a few years ago.

Its a very strange year all around.

[Oldschool]

Leinster have announced new contracts for hooker James Tracy, veteran free-scoring and decorated wing Dave Kearney and forward Ross Molony and are set to extend Devin Toner’s record-breaking stay for another year.

That would great news.
We really don't want to be losing Dev and Fardy at the same time.
It's not as if Dev us muck either, he's still well up to HCC level.

Nice!

[Jonny tight lips]

Pennnny ... nice one. Was worried about him, be great to get confirmation that Max signed on by the end of the day or is his contract up this year does anybody know?

[mildlyinterested]

Hugo Keenan signed on for more.

Jukebox alright, the hits keep on coming!

[paddyor]

Just annonced Tom Clarkson signs his first pro contract.

I feel something brewing........

Clarkson had interest from LI so his agent got his contract bumped. WIth Alaatoa on the way and presumably on a decent wedge it doesn't seem like moving Salanoa was cost effective for the IRFU. Who could've predicted this? No worries Nucifora has experience doing this sort of thing with the recently bankrupt ARU, he'll figure it out.

Jack Conan confirmed.

Where are these Furlong to Munster rumours coming from?

There is about as much chance of POM signing for Leinster as there is Furlong signing for Munster..
