[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 882082, member: 39240"] No. All Central Contracts are basically just the IRFU funding and effectively loaning player to province. No that it would ever happen but TECHNICALLY if IRFU said to Leinster that we want Sean O'Brien for instance to play centre and Leinster said no. Then that is breach of the agreement and he could be moved to another province. Now that is an extreme and it all just theory as IRFU own the lot so it will never happen. But Central deals are more for accounting and budget side than anything but is very helpful as it is said Leinster save up to 1.5-1.8million a year on wages which can be freed up to sign higher calibre of NIQ. But again it all budgetary stiff as effectively all earnings of all provinces goes to the same bucket and that bucket pays out. But back to original bit no some CCs are for 2 years. An example is Rory Best may be offered a new 2 year CC. Paul O'Connells last deal was 2 years. He signed a year before Toulon offer. Also law is it supposed to be 1 of each position like you can't have 2 9s etc but that is gone now by McGrath and Healy both on CC. There is alot of flaws and fairness issues attached. And I don't mean just that by fact Leinster get most benefit from wages but for example of Leinster won everything for next 10 years and sold out every game they'd still receive same as rest of provinces. But it gets messy with things like IRFU look after RDS rent to certain extent, obviously is with Thomond and Ulster had help with Kingspan. The issue now is for them to gauge how to allow outside funding without losing control [/QUOTE]
