[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 882100, member: 13611"] I agree with the principle that when it comes to squad depth, you're better going for cheaper youngsters with promise than with more expensive players who'll never be internationals. For example, if Leinster had to make a choice between holding onto Mick Kearney, Ian Nagle or Ross Molony, they should choose Molony. Dave Kearney is a different case. He's a current international notwithstanding many people's criticism of him. He's 28 years old so his play shouldn't deteriorate over the course of a 2 year contract. I'd contract him ahead of Hugo Keenan, Ian Fitzpatrick, Terry Kennedy or Jack Kelly any time. Those four have potential but may never reach international standard. Kearney is a proven commodity. I'd rank him 3rd behind Adam Byrne and James Lowe at the wing position for Leinster with Barry Daly not a million miles behind him and Fergus McFadden 5th. [/QUOTE]
