That's pretty much the rest of the season, it really didn't look that bad.
ROL is expected back sooner, as it's not as bad first feared.

It still doesn't sound good for next week though, does it?

No, I think next week will be a cobbled together team...
I was thinking of ROL as an option for Europe if Henshaw doesn't make it.

Five months, from such an innocuous incident. Better news for ROL anyway, won't be out long-term.

Best team for the Ospreys??

Dooley Tracy Bent
Kearney Molony
Murphy Deegan Doris
JGP Reid
Lowe Daly COB Byrne
Kearney

Byrne, Byrne, Vakh, Dowling, Penny, McCarthy, Frawley, Keenan

Jesus.

Jesus that’s a very green back line.

I’d imagine McCarthy either starts or doesn’t appear.

Seriously....seen the same stuff on Munster thread


Absolute joke people "supporting" a club with knock off sh*t.....


Plenty of offers around to get jersey cheaper than the latest and greatest....

Would my season ticket not count?

Not that I'd buy one of those jerseys but get off your high horse

Think I'd go for:

1. Ed Byrne
2. Bryan Byrne
3. Michael Bent
4. Ross Molony
5. Scott Fardy
6. Josh Murphy
7. Scott Penny
8. Max Deegan
9. Jamison Gibson-Park
10. Noel Reid
11. David Kearney
12. Conor O'Brien
13. Jimmy O'Brien
14. Adam Byrne
15. Ciarán Frawley

16. James Tracy
17. Peter Dooley
18. Vakhtang Abdaladze
19. Mick Kearney
20. Caelan Doris
21. Hugh O'Sullivan
22. Tom Daly
23. Hugo Keenan

Don't know why people are suggest Doris as an openside. You'd see Leinster turn into Munster, selecting locks and blindsides and 8s at 7?

OT maybe, but do the club directly benefit from jersey sales or do they just get a lump sum from Adidas when they sign the deal.

In my eyes not really OT.



Leinster get a lump sum but that is based on previous sales and also on advertising. So at end fo contract Leinster have sold 5k Jerseys because "supporters" are buying cheap knock off's then the next contract will be lower.



Jersey companies are hardly going to hand over millions if they dont think they are going to sell jerseys to reclaim come of the money

At the end of the day, Leinster absolutely sign on the final product that Adidas present to them, before it goes on general sale. This time they signed off on cheaply made crap.

Theres pictures all over Facebook of stars and logos peeling off after two washes because they were fine with printed on logos rather then sewed. On the basis of this many people (like myself) who usually buy the gear, wont be for this run.

If people are buying knock offs, Leinster may want to ask why.

Realistically, how many people are going to buy knock off gear? Practically nobody, certainly not enough to put a real dent in sales.

I also believe that the incredibly poor quality and high price of the Adidas gear will be far more of a deciding factor than a couple of dozen people buying knock off gear.

I think it’s shameful how bad the quality of the current gear is, I think the Chinese knock offs actually look better than the genuine product.

I do sort of regret blowing my wad on a few of the Adidas gear when it came out.

It's complete **** and so expensive.

Have to say, the jerseys are fine by me, but the other gear from Adidas is pretty poor. And the selection is tiny.

Canterbury always had a great selection of trackies/jackets/hoodies/"supporters" jerseys etc. It was also quite expensive but you could get all sorts of stuff.

My mum wanted a traditional cotton jersey this season (she hates the "modern" materials), and we ended up on Amazon buying bargain bin gear from about 4 years ago. Adidas just didn't have anything that came even close to be tempting.

"ankle syndesmosis" is so 2017..

Lads we're nearly 4,000 posts in and the thread still doesn't have a name.

What's the craic? Can we have a poll?

sydthebeat

I think the four stars says enough

Rigor Mortis

I assumed the 4 stars was the name. Although the allignment could be a bit more off if we were being accurate.

No. Most of them are English. Some, such as 'deja vu' obviously are.

Where might someone find this thread? I may be blind, I don’t see a thread for jerseys in the Rugby forum.

It’s in the soccer forum, the title is “Online Jersey stores continued”
