I wish someone would announce something. UR do tend to forget tehres fans out here who like to know stuff. We don't even ever hear much detail about injuries and progress.

I think that is wishful thinkinbg.

However having said that I would be delighted. The young guys have found him a big help

Geoff I'd be delighted if Terblanche stayed on. I was totally against him coming at first but he's won me over. He's been an inspired signing and has had a huge impact. Great player.

Terblanche is all class, man. Top player. Love the way he does the simple things so well. Would love to see him stay next year.

Plus he gives me hope that I can still make a comeback someday.... Whistle

Richard Mulligan on twitter is a primary source of rumour mongering on Ulster Rugby (as he would be, trying to sell the rag of a paper he works for!) he's tweeted that Ulster are in negotiations with Wannenburg over a new contract and Bowe may be confirmed this week.

Of course, he also said Pat Lam was spotted at Ravenhill the same weekend Lam was coaching the Auckland Blues in a televised game in NZ. Oops!

Well I think we now know the reason for the delay - Tommy has renegotiating his contract so that he takes hardly any pay cut.

He appears to have negotiated for himself a three contract that will make him one of the highest players in the land. Not only is he getting a central contract he is getting one for three years and it is a whopper (Ulster will not be paying most of his salary).

So much for claims he is not going to get a central contract.

Well we now know why - he was negotiating the length and size of the central contract not whether or not he got one.
The outcome being a big one and for three years - Dublin obviously think he is very valueable

Yeah over 1 million dollars (raises pinky to corner of mouth) for the 3 years. I suspect he is probably smiling inside after the 2nd try in Paris Very Happy

As long as he is announced as an Ulster player this week the IRFU can pay him what ever he wants from the central contract :-D

He is getting back to a bit of form, and he showed his class again at the weekend, also the cutting edge our wingers currently lack but something they can learn from him if (when) he comes home

Even the Daily Telegraph has got hold of this story!

'Meanwhile, Ireland wing Tommy Bowe is on the verge of signing a three-year deal worth over £1 million to move from the Ospreys to Ulster next season.

According to sources close to the Irish Rugby Football Union, the deal will make Bowe, 28, one of the highest paid players in the British Isles. The IRFU will fund the move as home-based Ireland players are all on national contracts.

The Lions wing is set to be released from his current contract even though it still has a year to run as the Welsh region look to cut their costs.'

He's what, 28 now? That's a massive amount to be spending on a winger, even one as good as Tommy Bowe. I mean that is international class tighthead money and even then most of them aren't getting that much. Who is funding this the IRFU or Ulster RFC?

Unquestionably yes. Hes the best back in Ireland along with Kearney, BOD and Sexton and has been for some time.

He is versatile enough to play across the 3/4 line (even if the Irish management don't realise it) and is a proven world class level finisher. I'm sure he has huge marketing value too and will help bring on our talented young backs.

He's the best signing we could have made in my opinion and I'm delighted.

Sounds like a combination of the two, Sam, but mostly loaded to the IRFU

Very, very much loaded towards the IRFU I'd imagine. Ulster Rugby will pay only a nominal amount if at all similar to other central contracts.

It's similar to what he's on at the Ospreys. Reportedly £350,000 a year there. I would say his bargaining position has been massively strengthened by the IRFUs new policy limiting NIQ players. That's just pushed up the demand for IQ players in a big way.

Asbo, the question is not what he's worth to Ulster- his primary employer is the Irish national team. Happily he will be available to play for Ulster for much of the season too, including our Heineken Cup campaign Smile

I'm guessing that another player(s) will have their central contract revoked or not renewed as a result - any ideas/thoughts on who that might be?

Paddy Wallace, Jerry Flannery, David Wallace, Denis Leamy, Tomas O'Leary?

There are a lot of players on central contracts who have little or nothing to do with the current squad through injury or simply because they are out of favour.

I thought the agreements were seperate and that the club would agree a contract and then the IRFU would offer a contract once the player became a regular international, allowing the club to avoid the inevitable request for a wage increase that goes with the international status? Presumably Ulster will paying something, if the IRFU are paying out say £300k of their own cash isn't that going to go badly when it comes to the likes of POC, Sexton etc wanting similar on their contract renewals?

Paddy Wallace is kept on one because hes back up to ROG and Sexton and is a decent international inside centre as well, it allows Kidney to get him gametime at 10 for Ulster when he wants to sharpen him up

Yeah it's likely to go badly. I think they've made a rod for their own back. By introducing very rigid measures against NIQ players they've greatly inflated the market value of IQ players.

Ulster will be paying something but the vast brunt of the contract will be payed by the IRFU. I'm not sure I understand your first point. Tommy Bowe is already a major international? He's dealing directly with the IRFU in contract negotiations. Part of his international contract will be what province he plays at.

That is true, but his contract expires soon- he signed a one year extension after the RWC. He's out of favour now so it's hard to see them renewing his contract again.

POC has recently signed a renewel and Sexton, BOD, ROG and Heaslip have all played hard ball with the IRFU in the past to negotiate big contracts.

With BOD, POC, ROG etc coming to the end Bowe will likely become and even more important player for the IRFU over the next few seasons. Its a good deal for all parties.

Interesting, I though the split would have been more £200k Ulster and £150k IRFU. Appears I'm off the mark, no wonder the Irish provinces are so good at retaining their players when the IRFU are giving them that level of backing.

I believe it is far more than most Irish posters here do Sam. I would basically flip you figures and you will not be far of the mark. Dublin are not paying anything like 300 pounds of this a year.

A central contact means exactly that sam. Remember this is only for a handful of key players at each provinces, 20(?) in total across the 4 teams. The rest of the players are contracted to the provinces only.

Cuts both ways - If a player doesn't get a central contract then they are more likely to leave. Bowe left in 08 because he wasn't in Eddie's plans and therefore had no chance of a central contract.

I don't get that impression at all Rava, not from the current squad. If there is any tension it must be at the coaching level, not the playing level and when Bowe signs there will be a new set-up in place.

Oh ignore my ramblings. It was only a tongue in cheek remark and more to do with the goings on with the coaches than anything else.

With Tommy and big Roger Wilson coming home, this team should kick on again next year but this time the big names driving us forward are homegrown. So thats great.

The 3/4s in particular will be very competitive but hopefully whoever the new coach is will use squad rotation to good effect.

This will certainly keep Gilroy and Trimble on their toes!

Flip sake though get that lad Whitten a contract!
