Appearances
So yeah, you're you're looking around, you're looking at where who you can get and who adds value to the squad.
Obviously, they've Joey Carberry and Peter Dooley are the only players that have come back.
If you like, rather than come in, given that they were both former Leinster players.
So
Yeah, I think the other thing is you you look at like look at where they came up short.
So for the first time, I think it's five finals that Leinster have lost in in the Champions Cup.
Last season's if you take maybe the Saracens final, where they were well beaten that day, uh in the second half, that is, it was obviously quite close.
At half time, but they were well beaten in the second half.
You know, Bordeaux was a bit of a blowout.
It was a poor performance by Leinster, and it was in contrast to
A lot of the other finals, if you like.
So I think that for Leinster to go into the new season where their main rivals have signed players and got greater depth to their squads, it's a bit strange that Leinster are going into a season with just the additions that we mentioned and having basically two NIQ contracts in your back pocket, but you're
not going to use them.
How long is
Yeah, I think if you look at all if you think look at some of the signings for some of the English clubs as well, so what Leinster have done in in signing, just purely in signing terms, is they've stood still and everybody else has added to their roster and changed up their roster and and uh, you know, even Toulouse to have uh Tommaso Menangello uh signed for Toulouse and anybody who saw him
I think that's it.
That's not to say that Leinster can't or won't sign, but you would think in September it would be quite if you were going to sign somebody, they would be in by now and maybe that's something that I don't know where the player would become available.
So the current squad and the Academy will do the heavy lifting.
And what we saw in the preseason friendly in Lyon is that some of the Academy players, um, Sean, if you like, in that game.
And that was a Leon team who were a week out from starting the French top fourteen.
