Its ok saying that Dino and im sure some of the player�s would be fine with not getting paid but these guys train Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday are away sometimes Saturday night and all day Sunday in city�s around New Zealand leaving at 6am in the morning and getting back late into Sunday night many of them with work/uni or other commitments at 7/8am the morning and you say they don�t deserve to get paid? I no Rugby is a fully professional sport in this country but could you imagine the Otago NPC team being asked to do the same every weekend flying up and back in the same day and then getting a pat on the back when they get off the plane then having to pay to get themselves�s out of the airport carpark and off home.. I don�t think so but yet how many games did they win last year?About 4 if I remember right for a minimum salary of about 20k.So I think for the time they put in they should at least get a small wage with maybe a win bonus plan or something along those lines because im sure the coaches and Board are still getting paid if the team loses so why not the players
