Shows how poorly paid most nz super rugby players are

Why so many high paid executive too ?

Looks like they spent more on executive pay than all blacks salaries

"NZ Rugby (union) is out of touch" is handy narrative to run with, and hopefully we get more stories that can build that AND the NRL, NZRL & Warriors can find more and more ways to connect with the public and become more and more "the peoples' sport".

That's not something that happens overnight, but every opportunity needs to be taken

A Fist Full of Yen....what a mess.
The future of Super Rugby could well be..

* 6 NZ teams (either current 5 Super Rugby teams plus one, or 6 strongest provinces)
* 4 Aussie teams (leave that to Rugby Australia to work out)
* 2 Japanese teams (Provides a derby there)
* Moana Pasifika
* Fiji Drua

14 teams, decent footprint, and scope to expand (eg Argentina, USA, more Japanese teams etc)

dolphins should have been east coast dolphins but i agree with nrl and qrl that using redcliffe would have been a poor choice in this era.

redcliffe is a small area within a wider region. at least east coast there would have been better synergy with sunshine coast and surrounding areas. the dolphins as a full brand title just seems lazy.

dont think bears will land as western. i think perth is most likely the final name. just a vibe though.
Redcliffe is the club name. If it's good enough for Cronulla, Penrith and Manly it's good enough for Redcliffe

Mate, I don't care if people talk up league, I outlined a proposal to improve league in NZ two pages ago. But let's not pretend all is well with international league and that crowds are outstanding.

Do you actually think 18k is good for an international in Oz? The sell out in Chch was 17k. The Tongan fans (and some Aussies) deserting Commbank ... The poor crowd for last year's final?
I think 18k for anyone v Samoa is outstanding in any sport, yes
