Not apples with oranges tho. Zebo likely get the Retiring Sportsperson Tax relief/refund so would likely have taken any half decent wages offer to be on the books back home and entitled to sizeable refund.
I like Zebo, in fairness to him he seems to try to run with the ball more often than most, rather than putting the boot through it, the Munster and Ireland way, heās an exciting player as (Irish) rugger players go.
For him personally thatās fine, but itās easy compare what the club is paying out. Interested from that perspective. The Jenkins deal sickens my shite, heāll add nothing and heās getting more than most of the Irish players there Iād say.

Yeah, really is something fishy about both the scouting of him and what theyāre willing to pay him
The mysterious benefactor is footing the bill for Jenkins. Munster and the IRFU are footing the bill for Zebo.
Itās not JP anyway. How do you know JP is bankrolling a team. He tells everyone
JP literally bankrolls every single GAA club and county board.
Very fair
He gets that even if playing in France I think
Edit, yesā¦ Anywhere in EU satisfies the requirement nowā¦ Maybe thatās what ruled out London Irish
Well that piece isnāt really true. Iād say he is a fine player. Is it a stupid and probably unnecessary signingā¦ Yesā¦ Will he add nothing to the teamā¦ Iād say he will
Wasnāt much chat on here from the Conor Murray Bashers about this? Maybe I missed it 
Here is the team just for contextā¦ Exalted company

Jaysus thatās some award. Is he really in the class of the rest of the company on that team?
Also, no English player? Hahaha!
I suppose he is if he was picked in it
While you couldnāt argue with Dan Carter at 10, I reckon Sexton is seething

Habana, OāDriscoll and Carter for the 2010s?
I doubt it. That was the easiest decision on the pitch and Iād say sextons mother wouldnāt even give him a claim at it

Did he not miss all of 2011? It is probably fair enough though I suppose if he played that long
