"Blackburn Rovers insiders believe the new contract puts the Rovers captain on 55,000 to 60,000 a week, which equates to about $NZ8 million a year.

With the average All Black contract thought to be worth about $250,000, the Christchurch footballer could be earning more than an entire All Blacks squad of 22 players. "
 
 
Where was this article found. I looked on the NZherald.co.nz and couldn't see it there?
 
Do you think the Nz media are trying to keep this news quiet. They wouldn't want to let any aspiring NZ footballs  think that there is a sh*t load more money in Football than Rugby.
 
Shows what a joke the All Blacks are. How long will that last? They only pay them $250,000 a year. If you can become a top footballer for a couple of years you can retire. What happens to the All Blacks. Do they get a paper round or something?
 
Good on Nelsen. Thats what young kiwis should be aspiring too. Not just for the money, but the fact that if you are good. You get overally rewarded, not shafted.
