Has he been promoted? Started the year in sub academy

Don't think he's huge loss, didn't start many games, he never challenged bealham, OK in scrum but didn't do enough around the pitch, I wish him all the best

I really rate Conor - good hands, and always seemed to strengthen our scrum. Worcester have bags of cash, so I'm sure he got a nice deal. Fair play to him.

Pity to see him go, good player for us who also seemed to have a good impact on team morale, got the impression that he was very popular.

Ulster would want to take a good look at themselves here: if they don't have someone very good coming in they should have hovered him up, better than anyone they've got currently and one of their academy products

Jordan Duggan - Loosehead Prop - Academy year 1

Disappointed to see him go, but I imagine he wants more game time.
Wish him all the best with Worcester

Great player for us and wish him well.

Connacht can confirm that Conor Carey will leave the province at the end of the season to join Worcester Warriors. Best of luck in the future Conor.

Pau are about to release their 3 IQs

With Dillane/Roux/Thorbury probably busy at time with Ireland in the next months/years, Dave Foley might be an opportunity

Same with one of Dougall/Butler, IMO underated, even if we're well stocked for back-rows..

All depends on whether we have other players lined up.
Can definitely see Cannon moving on, but fear that if McKeon doesn't get a new contract, that might be the end of his professional career

TBF I'd have Mitchell ahead of the other 2. Gallagher/Maksymiew/Claffey can push for 2nd row + lots of IQ abroad. Back-row is full, one of Connolly/McKeon may well have to go

Think he was speaking about Eoin McKeon not Conor

Buckley
Bealham
Cannon

Are all out of contracts.
Possibity that a few players only got a one year contract last season.

Finlay signed a new deal

That was the rumour I heard but as you point out he's still playing ten, will change it.
