This is very true. So guessing coastal agreed to do what Canterbury didn't and pay him what he wanted? No one at this level or even Canterbury level should be getting paid! In any shape or form whether it be petrol money paying rent the endless list goes on.
this is how some clubs use the excuse that they dont pay players to " play ". Imo its shark, nothing more nothing less! Can you honestly tell me Tech for example keep attracting quality players to the club that are not being paid?? Or perhaps its the " outstanding " level of coaching
Some players do change club due to perceived differences in coaching levels. Normally this occurs in junior/youth levels.
so when it happens at senior levels especially with players good enough to stay where they currently are its not just about money, if its not coaching? Despite what some will say I stand by my point that some clubs definitely are " paying " players
