Well that is agent talk as:
1. Leinster won't get sanctioned for a New THP.
2. They 100% won't get sanctioned for a large contract for a back up player.
Yes but there is alot to it regards insurance etc too. Also wasn't aware that it can lower salary cap declarations. But it is valid. Why should RFU pay for releases of others don't.

If it is a concussion like Frawley for example there is a way to...
But I'd argue on the opposite he has got a bounce off his teams when he goes in for first season or 2 but after that it goes stale fast and progress stalls or regresses.
