Trimble has a central as well has he not and that has not been renewed

Why, if there are 3 who deserve it then why not 3 and if 4 why not 4 ?

I would doubt if central contracts are allotted on a quota basis .

I would have considered Bowe Trimble and Payne all had central contracts or central contribution of some sort .

And while everybody talks of central contract very few have details of the nature of each and every central contract . I doubt if there is a universal contract applied to all .

AFAIK central contracts are allocated to players not provinces. Jared (if he's done) and Tommy will be coming off central contracts. Does not mean the next two Ulster players up will get them. What is does mean is that there will be a big reduction in that income stream for UR.
