Contract Situation

[jean valjean]

Can't see hendy getting one. A reduced Ulster deal will be offered but he should think about a big pay day.

Was apparently offered a cc and also made an offer in Japan according to media reports.

Does the ireland tax back deal apply to ulster based players? Wondering if that is a consideration for hendo

Think that is down South only, open to correction of course. It was mentioned re Cooney etc.

Interesting...well he doesn't play more than a few minutes for Ulster so we're probably off topic now.

IRFU announced central contracts etc for James Ryan and Van Der Flier earlier, may get confirmation of a new one for Henderson (assuming he is staying v going to Japan).

Any sense he’d be off for two years make some money for his retirement.. now 3/4 choice lock at best for Ireland

Whats the score with Addison 26 games in 5 years according to an article I read.sick note before he came seems bigger one now. Another contract I presume?

I can see Addison getting a new contract for the very simple reason that 80% of supporters are in the We Are Brill Brigade, and they will fawn over the announcement given he is a good player, without giving an ounce of rational thought to the cost/benefit of having him on a physio table for another few years.

Its an easy win straight out of the Bryn Academy of Excellence on How To Run A Sports Team.

The length of Addisons last contract extension in 21 was undisclosed, was it definitely a 2yr deal? WA is now 31. I know marcel had a late post injury resurgence at UR, unfortunately I don’t have the same confidence in WA.

I think you can give the benefit of the doubt over 2 maybe even 3 yrs, but not over 5, especially with a pre signing injury reputation too. Shame absolute quality player, and made that UR backline hum….Essential UR play a baller at 15 ie Moore.

I wouldn't be opposed to a new contract for Will Addison depending on the terms. Obviously it'd be insane to offer him a flat rate contract, but if he was willing to take some sort of contract with a low base salary with increments based on appearances, from my point of view there'd be very little downside with the upside of having a nailed on starter if he does get back on the pitch.

I remember when I first saw him here wondering how he hadn't already got several caps to his name, he would have been some player if he wasn't made of glass.

Hope he lives near a food bank

Would seem neither Milasinovich / JTA are getting a new deal then.

[Cockatrice]

They have to pay for Stockdale somehow

Apart from Sheridan, who looks like the real deal, are any of these others capable of being 1st team players?
