ahh how many viable overseas opportunities are available!? This could well work out ok for a small group but if players are leaving in bulk that could scupper the local comp and saturate an international market that is dying off currently.
oops poor choice of words there!
-
@Paekakboyz yeah lucrative compared to a -40% Ozzie SR contract, I reckon that's entry level for Premiership, France and low as for Japan!
@Machpants I'm not that up on the play about ARU pay scales, but presumably some of the lower contracted guys might be getting close to the living wage once the double % cut is applied! I get that some (many?) of these guys might have significant $$ commitments, especially if they have a big mortgage or something.
But I guess there is no expectation that ARU will reciprocate in the future if/when things improve from a cashflow perspective. I mean I didn't read the article lol

@Paekakboyz I think that the 60%, and probably the 40% will be, is on a slding scale. Those at the top take a higher percentage, the bottom much less - it averages at 60%. Then again I see that Hooper got stupid millions for a multi year contract, so maybe Oz pays it's SR players better than NZ?

Wonder why western Sydney is ignored?

Well, our small corner of rugby is doing well. Charity Day yesterday and despite getting humped in the main event, our women's sevens team really stood up on their first outing, and we're on track to raise $10K for Neuroblastoma research.
I'm rooted - ran the flag for 3 mens grades (30, 35, 40 minute halves respectively), as well a reffing one women's sevens match and running the flag for 4 others. Midday to 5PM basically.

We got absolutely fucking AMBUSHED by Dukes, I might add. Last year they were all fit white boys who knew their rugby. This year they added big Islander lads - mix of union and league - and mopped the floor with us.

Check the old guy pretending to be a ref
I will say: the ladies are far easier to ref than the guys. Maybe its just Sevens, because you have no time to argue, but they generally just get on with things, unlike the "superstars".
-
@NTA bottom photo: ref momentarily forgets his job, gets flashbacks from the 80's and lines up the ball carrier in an awesome, yet illegal spear tackle...
"Not again Dad!!" Is heard clearly from the sidelines...

@Siam thought he's about to receive the pop pass and then send the skittles flying.
"use me!!!"
