I know, yeah, but the rest of the players going I can totally understand. This lad is starting in the business end of the European cup though. Surely we can find it somewhere. This is temporary. We don't run at a loss / debt like some provinces, and we should be absolutely fine to keep his salary going once we start getting season tickets and such into the coffers.ronk wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 3:23 pmToner could have years left. Maybe another 50+ games. I think everyone wants him to stay. But if you look at the lads who left last year and the ones who are set to leave this year then you get a picture of how roughly we are cutting back.CiaranIrl wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 2:58 pmI think it's a terrible call if we let Toner leave. I just don't believe we can't afford to keep him. The man is likely to have a couple of years left in the tank, given his role, position and injury free career. He's almost certainly going to be starting in our knock out matches until the end of the year, he's a superb team player to have in the squad, and he's an amazing lineout guru for others to learn from. I really think it would be a big mistake to let him go when he wants to stay.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑April 1st, 2021, 9:53 pm Hard to interpret this, but Toner possibly leaving to be confirmed soon?

The IRFU won’t let us cut players who will be on the international squad next season, only Munster can do that. A lot of money has been lost, is it 5 fullish Aviva’s we’ve missed so far. What else can we cut?
What I would be really annoyed at is us letting him go and then announcing some NIQ signing that we essentially don't need for in any position.
