      Yeah if this guy who I’ve never heard of gets bored and googles himself he’s in for a thrill that’s for sure

          Third time lucky maybe...so he definitely didn't turn down any super teams this year?

          Because it would be pretty silly to be upset at NZR if he did, wouldn't it?

              @Bones

              Fun conversation though, as it turns out he was in the Canes U20 and was not offered a contract (or at least didn’t accept one with their WTG), trained with the Landers and wasn't offered a contract (or at least didn’t accept one with the WTG), and rejected the Crusaders (likely a 2-year contract).

              Terrible non-selection. He's been robbed.

                  @gt12 and we still don't know if he actually was offered something for next year and just wasn't interested. To be honest at his age I'd be tempted to earn some good moolah whil seeing a neat part of the world as well, rather than getting a few South Pacific pesos to set up shop in Hamilton or Dunedin for the winter.

                    Well, San Diego is a complete shithole.

                      @gt12 vagina is still vagina, even if it is a whale's.

                      Did you say he's only 24? He could still come back and spend a decade in SR if he's good enough.

                        He won't be earning much coin in MLR, he would earn a heap more in super. Maximum they can earn is $45 grand under their salary cap, why only players who can't get super contract go there. The better ones go to Japan etc where cash is much better. There's a reason that the likes of Andy Ellis etc are still playing in MLR at almost 40, good as he was it's a retirement camp for players.

                          A 10, the top points scorer of the 2023 NPC, who is hugely influential in his NPC team, creates a lot of the scoring opportunities for his team, is well-liked, and steered his team to their best NPC performance of the modern NPC didn't get a NZ SR contract.

                          So I'm not the only person who thought he made the Magpies look good? There weren't many five-eighths who did that consistently in the NPC. And if they can't look reasonable at that level...

                            @Dan54 is that USD or NZD? I can't say I'm hugely convinced on your statement anyway, I'd need to see some evidence Nonu is just in it for the love of the game and that shit hole San Diego

                              This from the internet

                              The average salary of an MLR player ranges from $30,000 to $60,000 per year. However, some top players can earn significantly higher salaries.

                              1. Do MLR players receive any additional benefits?
                                While the base salary may not be as high as other professional sports leagues, MLR players often receive additional benefits such as housing, medical insurance, and travel expenses.

                                Thats in US$ and was the suggested max under the previous $500,000 cap (now $750,000 I think).

                                Even on $40K US with very few costs, that's about $65K plus his NPC wages.

                                Not terrible.

                                    Don't know what it is mate, all I know is the salary cap says stars can't get over 45grand. I know Nonu is there , but no way would he get a super contract either.

                                      Mate I get the info off web, so maybe that was naking it up, but with a salary cap of %00 grand ain't leaving much room for big money, unless you a fromer test player atc.

                                          So @Dan54 is just making shit up, cheers @Chris @gt12

                                          How long is the season?

                                          Mate I get the info off web, so maybe that was naking it up, but with a salary cap of %00 grand ain't leaving much room for big money, unless you a fromer test player atc.

                                          Where did you get it? Because others seem to have got completely different off "the web".
