The cost would outweigh any share of income?  You know this for certain or are you just sharing a reckon with us?
Again, the problem with the AWs not playing enough games is not because of the funding to the Ferns or womens teams.

You do realise that NZF gets a cut from every womens WC the ferns go to as well as the age group world cups and not to mention Olympics.  Funding the Ferns is not the reason the AWs are missing out on games.

NZF funding the Ferns, U-20's which make no money, in fact cost money to put games on with no payback, that's the kind of dumb investment that you stay away from. The team NZF can and should be maing money from is the mens team! This kind of poor decision making will cost us, the team, the management and NZF bucket loads in the longer term.

the cost to send the team to those events would outweigh any share of income from the event, most women's games have small crowds in comparison the the men's games. I'd be confident that the profit from bringing the men home to play would be well above any women's game being played.

its a reckon, but based on experts commentary in the past. I've never said that the AW's playing is down to other teams playing. I'm just saying that given the men's team is likely to be abigger draw card for crowds and therefore a bigger earner its seems odd to shelve them and focus on other teams that are likely not to make a profit.
and that is given the boss man has siad that the reason the AW's are not playing is down to a lack of cash in the bank.
