[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 7423105, member: 3028"] Yeah, I'd say they'll fast track Crowley for political reasons. Was surprised to hear JGP isn't one. Thought Iain Henderson was older, but he's been playing for Ireland for 12 years now. Fair dues. Probably got another 2-3 good years left in him. I think the biggest problem I have with it is the spending is that the savings in Leinster from moving players from provincial to central contract have essentially been blown on Snyman and Barrett. There's at least €1M in extra spending there. Barrett is particularly egregious as Leinster have good depth, so it's going to take game time away from the likes of O'Brien, Frawley, Larmour and Osbourne. And maybe one of Ringrose, Henshaw or Keenan, because he's arguably better than all of them. That €1M would have stretched a hell of a lot further if it was invested in player development pathways in other provinces [/QUOTE]
