I think PUDC players get $1,250 assembly per game; so $12,500 for ten games (plus their retainer)
There is no minimum retainer for a PUDC player.
PUs can have as many PUDC players as they like.
And if your PUDC retainer is under $2,500, you can walk to another PU anytime.PUC retainers per player are $55,000 max; $21,000 min; with $85,000 max possible for 2 veterans (8 seasons, same team).
Individual match fees, win bonuses are part of the retainer.
The max for a U20 player is $21,000; $25,000 if it's the second year.All ABs must have a PUC and get the max $5,500 per game ($55,000), and they get that even if they dont play (NZR picking up the tab).
Official training sessions; $150 per day.
There are NZR PU Premier comp incentive payments for NZC players,.
NZR Incentive payments dont come under the PU salary cap.
Two years NZC player $5,000; four years $12,500; five or more years, $35,000.And there are also NZR PU Premier comp incentive payments for PUC players as well,.
4 years $5,000; 5 years + $7,500.Super clubs can actually make a contribution to a players PUC too, but cannot break the 55G PU max.
This is not in the PU salary cap, or to be out of the NZR PPP.There are team incentives as well for finals. $75,000 for a home final.
The Premier competition (thats what they call it) duration is for 15 weeks.
Say $38,000 is an average comp payment, that is just over $2,500 a week.
Which is ok, but if you dont have a NZC, it is only 15 weeks work.
If you have a half decent day-job, you are not quitting for that money.
If you are U20, it's only $1,400 per weekBut if you have an NZC, it's probably quite good money.
It'll all add up nicely.
SC money plus PU money equals not too bad. -
Plus people tend to make a bigger deal out of it if they choose the Warriors. Tevita Naufahu went to the Dolphin’s nobody cared
He was one of two from the 2023 NZS backline that went to RL. Caelys-Paul Putoko signed with the Titans but looks to be with the Warriors now.
How is Francis Manuleleua going at Penrith? He wasn't selected for the NZS team as a Y13 because of his intention to play RL.

Not too sure if this has been mentioned on this thread
Ran into Levi Amua at a cafe in West Auckland this morning
He’s off to Japan to take up a contract , did’nt elaborate which club he was going to but I wished him all the best -
He’s going to Yokohama/Canon

FFS @Chris-B, what's going on? Ta$man is fucking broken. A couple of years back you let Taumoefolau go to Tonga and now every decent young player in the franchise (yeah I said it, you're a franchise) is going to league. Is this what happens when you spend up on out of towners and Cantabs for the benefit of the Crusaders?
Is there even a league comp in Ta$man?

We tried to keep Harry, but he decided he wanted a bigger yacht than Will Jordan!
A case of an Inch taking a mile!
You do know money thing is total bullshit perpetuated by morons, right?

Not sure how he's going to get that playing Jersey Flegg. Or does he just think that league is so easy any Ta$man-ian can become Simon Mannering?

Simon Mannering smashed the glass for rugby league at Nelson College.
I think Inch could play 6 or 7 in league.
Those positions are very well remunerated in the NRL.
And not just that; if you cut it, you can have a very long career (Reynolds/Foran/DCL)
By 28 there will be 38 of those positions needing to be filled.And if it doesn’t work out, he can switch back to rugby union.

If you are talking about Ta$man, you are right.
This is the rank of PU’s by annual revenue for 2024.
All the numbers should be on the public record; but I haven’t been able to find them all.
A lot of PUs just highlight whether they are in the black or not.
But got enough to figure out the basic order.
Educated guestimates.
1 and 2 are over $10 mil.
3, 4 and 5 are over $5 mil.
6 to 11; between $4 mil and $5 mil.
12, 13 and 14; just under $4 mil.Tazman seem to get excellent value for their connection to the Crusaders franchise.
And just for the record, the Heartland PUs.
Those above the line, would be over a $1 mil (but less than $2 mil).
Those below the line; less than $1 mil. -
@mohikamo I know I'm right.
The data all used to be presented in those State of the Union reports.
There were just a bunch of sorry-arse idiots on here who decided to troll me after Ta$man won the title in 2019!
It's why there's still a $ sign in Ta$man when you type it.
