    It's a discussion, not advice

    You posted as if Leinster are giving advice, I guess you have confirmed this is not the case?

    Apparently he knows everything about the leinster system.

    Incredible knowledge for someone not living in Ireland.

    Mod: Attack the post not the poster.

    But if these players haven’t been signed to Leinster’s academy, then by definition it’s not “just taking players from Leinster” right?

    In any case I don’t think it’s anyway likely to any great scale; Provinces won’t be favouring this option over developing their own players. It’s just not going to happen.

    Does the CC distribution matter? Shouldn't a CC contract be earned?

    And they still will need to be earned. This change will have no appreciable impact on who gets a CC.

    But if CC’s were 100% union funded (which, by all accounts, they were), then the distribution does matter with regards down-stream impacts.

    With the wording of the proposed changes, "contribute up to 30% of the cost of a national contract for their players", I reckon there will be a flat fee of €150k per player on CC, which means for the lower end CC of €500k it would constitute 30%, for the mid range CC of 600k it would be 25%, and for the higher end CC of €750 it would work out at 20%.

    By that reasoning I estimate that Leinster could face a bill of around 1.5m for their CC players next season.

    The flip-side of that is that most if not all of this cost will probably be offset with the new incentives and fund-matching being promised.

    There's no mention of Players Of National Interest (PONI), I'd assume they are not going to divulge how much they spend on topping up salaries across the provinces above what the province wants to pay for them. I'd imagine Lowe, Gibson-Park, McCarthy, Healy, Conan, Kelleher, Connors, Baird, Bealham, Hansen, O'Mahony, Murray, Crowley, McCloskey, Stockdale, Timoney would all be players of national interest of varying degrees.
