      Even if she wasn't lying (which she is), Super Rugby teams have generally been operating to a salary cap. I doubt any competition in the world would let a team come in with 5 or 6 times the usual salary cap. Any proposal that didn't take into account the existing restrictions put upon teams would likely be seen as poorly researched, and unprofessional

      @bobily2 you could argue that All blacks players arent really under the super rugby Salary cap.

      the only issue would have been them taking allblacks but would have saved NZR some money and theyre still playing in the same comp.

      Paying a tongan guy from france 1 million is the same as paying Keiran Read 1 million at the crusaders

        It certainly seems less transparent than the Drua setup. Early days tho.

          Maybe, but is that top up money for Super Rugby, or is that for securing them for the rest of the year (i.e. All Blacks tests)?

          Ignoring All Blacks players, as I'm not sure what the eligibility rules would be, theoretically if they signed a guy like Samu Kerevi, he could get paid $1 mil for representing this team and an additional $500,000 for Wallabies selection. He'd maybe even be able to play in Japan too. So I don't think their $1 mil signings would be comparable to an All Black on $1 mil

            Just watched the interview. Tracy really lacks credibility. Passion and angst are a bad combination. Have to wonder if anyone in the Kanaloa bid was numerate. Huge number of Polynesian in MLR and can't help thinking that this was a means to an end without too much thought of the numbers.

              @nta Tracy Atiga is a lying, opportunistic dragon. I don't believe even half of what she says.

                @stargazer on the money regarding Tracy Atiga , ask the pacific island community around Auckland , she’s an absolute crook of epic proportions.
                Do so homework on Atiga and you will be shocked at what you dig up
                Do you really think the had money to match big European clubs ..?,
                There’s a reason many of the Pacific Island All Blacks that were originally named as backers have gone silent.
                Kanaloa Hawaii we’re also muddling in MLR and we’re threaten with a law suit
                Rugby NZ saw right through them and besides when you have Sir Brian Williams , Sir Micheal Jones and Eroni Clark as backers not from a financial point but having some individuals with Mana in behind .
                I think that puts things in perspective.

                    @steven-harris Tbh, I don't think we should re-do the discussion about Kanaloa & Atiga again. This was all posted & discussed at the time. They're irrelevant now.

                                          Using Wiki as a guide that makes 29 players, so assuming MP also selects 38 players there are 9 to go. They need 2 more props, a hooker, at least one other halfback amongst those.
