Super Rugby don't publish crowds unless it's huge.

Wayne’s $2m warning to rivals as Dolphins coach reveals interest in Pangai Junior: Whispers
“A broke sport pays a bloke to not come there. That wouldn’t go down well with the mainstream.
“But what’s going on in rugby is that other players of that kind of ilk and there’s Jordan Petaia who’s been a Wallaby outside back for a long time.
“Those players are filthy about the whole situation that someone’s coming across to rugby earning that massive amount of money and Jordan Petaia‘s management is in talks with rugby league clubs.
“And I can tell you one club that’s interested in that they’re looking at him because they’ve got to try and sign some blokes is the Dragons.
“So those things are unsettling for the rugby hierarchy. Whether it can be done I don’t know but it’s definitely not totally out of the realms of possibility that something like that could happen then and Suaalii doesn’t go.”
Looked about 17,000 if that and 20 years ago Hurricanes used to get 30,000 plus...Super Rugby needs to go.
Always thought Jordan Petaia's would be better at Rugby League then Rugby Union and read that he had a background in Rugby League.Faaaark how funny would it be if Rugby Australia partially paid out his contract so he could stay in the NRL

Petaia would be a gun in the NRL, might be hard to get though, center is one of those positions French clubs will pay 1m + for while NRL will pay 800k
Plus tax In France for union players is like 9 percent
Japan as well... Ngani Laumape swapped 7 figures in France for the same with Kobe. And its fewer games and a lot less physical than Top 14 too.
Absolutely. It wont be for the money. Even with only a couple of seasons of rugby behind him, RTS would've made more taking up the Japanese deal his manager had negotiated.
he grew up in Australia so I imagine he would have had some interest in the NRL. There is probably an amount of money you would be happy to lose out on to play for a club that you really like
You talking union wages globally or AU/NZ in particular?
Global
If it hits 3m then yea, that will certainly be hard to compete with. Especially if its all fully funded by HQ grants and underpinned by long term broadcast deals, sponsorships, US bookie deals etc.
Bang on
