He had nothing to sign, it was our option to retain or release him at the end of last season.
By exercising the option for year 2 at the package we started out with and no more addition or extension guarantees his departure next season. Short sighted at best. I wonder how motivated he will be this season. |

Here's hoping it's not his last contract with us and a special case can be agreed to allow him to pursue Irish honours based at PyS. After all, without us, he'd have been on the scrap heap. |

No chance that's what we're trying Wil? Keeping him here this year for definite and putting a bumper pay packet on the table in the next few weeks? |

If what you say is correct Wil, I have absolutely no reason to doubt it, it is scandalous. If we treat our very best that way what hope do we have of building a truly competitive squad. He was glad of an opportunity to prove himself. By early 2017 he had proved himself and at that stage he should have been offered a long term much improved contract. If we are expecting him to continue to prove himself on the same contract conditions this coming season when he is probably selected ahead of higher earners like Bulbring then we are kidding ourselves. Shameful. Forget speculating on Halfpenny look at our young performers who are on relatively low money and improve their contracts. Then safeguard our cream who are out of contract in June 2018. Loyalty is a two way thing.

I thought he had signed extension for year or did I read it wrong as I believe it to be end of 2019 season I am not in position to know but what if we tried to sign him up long term and he said no thanks I do one year to thank you for giving me opportunity after that I go home. All I'm saying we may have tried to retain him but he may have said no but I was under impression he has signed until end of 2019 season but I stand to be corrected.

A lot of speculation on what we did or didn't offer and what Tadgh might or might not have been expecting isn't there?

I would give the share of the Halfpenny proposed money to him.

Asking about this in the Crys meeting would be great.
About Halfpenny too. |

Some of his direct quotes in interviews last season suggested that bridges have been burned with the Irish Provinces.
I took it that he is not really a munster fan tbh. This sounds a little desperate from the Irish press, and just trying to fit pegs in holes.

As I've said before, I'd be very dissapointed (but unsurprised unfortunately) if we haven't been breaking the bank to try and keep him, starting back when he made his first couple of appearances for us. It was clear back then that he was special, and that that was the time to make a deal.

One issue we MUST never forget is what the player wants, it seems to me from the interviews he gave at the end of the season was that one of his aims was to play for Ireland, and if his performance were good (which they were) he would end up back in Ireland.
So whatever we wanted as a club, I feel the IRU and a region would take him on for 18/19 season. So like all negotiations Munster have thrown their hat in the ring, certainly backed by the IRU. I really don't blame the Scarlets, or any one, (unless there is something not being said) It is a shame but they have their own version of Gatlands Law which they adhere to. |

He didn't really gain any form until the end of the season.
