[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 935023, member: 39240"] Yes but you're missing my point. His contract will be sorted by next January. To really force his way in to getting a national contract he needs to show serious form in big games. Now in that window, He won't get a chance in the run in to this season. In the RWC he could be 3rd choice and potentially may miss out impressing. Then back in Europe he may or may not break in again but noone knows. In that time also you could have an Ed Byrne or who ever really step up the pressure on him from playing games. Compare it with if he goes to Ulster he will be a start player status for them. And they are improving so who knows. If he plays well and edges back in to #2 for country as LHP. Then come negotiations say "I'm huge part of Ulster, Healy is pushing on and I will carry this provincal game as a leading player in to green." There more bargaining power. It's that slightly longer term view. Now he stays with Leinster he may get back in within the 12 months but he may not. The safer bet may be Ulster financially. [/QUOTE]
