Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
I'd be most disappointed over Frawley, followed very closely by Deegan
Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
So I have it on good authority that Toner had an excellent offer of a two year deal in Japan, and was very close to being gone, but took a one year deal at home.

If true, Toner’s probably young enough to get a similar two year offer at the end of next season if he wants to take it.

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
Toner definitely was talking fairly enthusiastically about the idea of playing abroad in some of his interviews recently.
Glad he's staying on but hope he gets an opportunity to play elsewhere if that's what he wants.

I'd say he's happy here while we pick him.leinster23 wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 10:03 pm Toner definitely was talking fairly enthusiastically about the idea of playing abroad in some of his interviews recently.

I allocated the contract to both Kelleher brothers by mistake.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 6:38 pm Osborne hasn't been officially confirmed.

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
Murray Kinsella was reporting that Munster made a play for Deegan recently but were rebuffed and told Deegan was happy at Leinster.erskinechilders wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 6:46 pm I'd be most disappointed over Frawley, followed very closely by Deegan
Frawley is a little more concerning but he may not be out of contract. If he does leave it is very unlikely he would go to Munster. Ulster looks a bit crowded at 10 too. More than likely Connacht as they are looking for a 10/12. They did try to sign Hawkshaw.
All speculation of course.

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
Well obviously we're his first choice and we're happy with him and he's happy with us, and hopefully he'll continue to win and challenge for trophies while here.ronk wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 10:48 pmI'd say he's happy here while we pick him.leinster23 wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 10:03 pm Toner definitely was talking fairly enthusiastically about the idea of playing abroad in some of his interviews recently.

However, if say next summer it's decided that it's time to move on I hope the offers available to him are of the same calibre as the ones he had this year.

Yep, was thinking Connacht would be the only likely destination if it was to happen.elephantman wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 11:50 pmMurray Kinsella was reporting that Munster made a play for Deegan recently but were rebuffed and told Deegan was happy at Leinster.erskinechilders wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 6:46 pm I'd be most disappointed over Frawley, followed very closely by Deegan

From Frawley's perspective, he'll get plenty of minutes with Leinster next year. If he hadn't been carrying a knock, would he not have started ahead of Rory O'Loughlin against Munster? And the club would be mad to let him go; him and Harry look to me like the dagger and the scalpel of the next generation.
Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
It wouldn't make sense. Frawley is the top ball playing 12 in Ireland and a lot younger than most of the depth chart.berliner wrote: ↑April 17th, 2021, 12:22 amThat would be a massive coup for Connacht, but why would it happen?leinster23 wrote: ↑April 17th, 2021, 12:04 amYep, was thinking Connacht would be the only likely destination if it was to happen.elephantman wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 11:50 pm

All the provinces have depth, but at Leinster Henshaw will be available the least and will be 13 some of the time too.
Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
I saw mention of Bill Johnson linked with Connacht after his loan spell in the championship. They’re obviously in the market for a 10/12 after approaching hawkshaw but frawley would be mad fo go. She would be in a position behind first choice 10 and 12 in Carty and Bundee to start off with

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
It’s annoying they don’t release the duration of signed contracts. Is there some operational or competitive reason for that?
If Frawley & Deegan have three year deals, we’ll all be sitting here bricking it for weeks and Leinster will just say nothing.

Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
Don't think it's likely at all. Can't see any reason for him to leave, and even less reason for us not to want him around. He made his debut relatively young too, he's only 23.berliner wrote: ↑April 17th, 2021, 12:22 amThat would be a massive coup for Connacht, but why would it happen?leinster23 wrote: ↑April 17th, 2021, 12:04 amYep, was thinking Connacht would be the only likely destination if it was to happen.elephantman wrote: ↑April 16th, 2021, 11:50 pm

More just saying that he was to go somewhere it would be out West, and discussion is inevitable for those who haven't been announced as signing yet, although as others have said it's entirely possible his contract isn't up this year.
Re: Leinster Squad 20-21
We mustn’t forget that Frawley is Australian qualified and could potentially move to Australia..

No bother mate, it just seems like people are forgetting that it’s a possibility and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does move to Australia.Oldschoolsocks wrote: ↑April 17th, 2021, 3:21 pmThat is definitely something that needs to be remembered, I’ll just write it down now in my “must remember this” book.
Thanks for that...
