I agree nightz, there are definitely some players who are employed by clubs and do a great job. I don't think anyone (rational) is objecting to that. But there are others who are being paid for Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, and that is the issue.
I dont believe you.
My reason for this is that no-one is being named with proof to back it up. For this to be such a big problem how about a list of ten names and amounts. Should be easy for you to compile as you think its such a big problem in the game here.
I dont think there are that many NZ players being paid big money by Wellington clubs just to play on Saturdays.
not sure what tangent you've gone off one here Nightz. The $800 was prob just referring to the Cowan thing, and I dont know what benchmark $ you are talking about, but there are craploads of players getting $100+ per week to play Central Lge.
