Eben at €900K I hear.
Pollard, Faf and Eben are match winners.....not one season wonders....so they get the big money. Amazing that Wanker and Peeper couldn't see that.
Could not see what idiot?
Interesting how Michael responded to his name from Mozart's post
DA
I do not mind being called "wanker" by that twisted lunatic Mozart. He is the worst idiot on rugby issues I ever came across and being called a wanker by him is a compliment - since every one knows that he is an expert in Idiot Speak.
Duplication
Hahahaha.....Wanker by name, wanker by nature!
$1.3 Million per year ?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
The top NFL quarterback currently earns $35 million per year. Mainly because the NFL can charge $4000 for an average seat at at the playoffs and still fill their massive stadiums to capacity with ease.
My point ? It probably wont happen so don't fret too much, but maybe top 5 countries should pray every night to sky fairy that rugby does not become popular in the USA. They will buy all the best players, coaches etc. with their pocket change.
I see 'Major League Rugby' is starting next year. Beast probably got more money for 1 year than he did his entire career.
Wow Saffex, this the same lad that played 1p for the Saints under 16 team? Damn! Has time moved on so fast?
Best of luck to him. The USA is a great country, regardless of all the Yanks...he'll enjoy it there.
"The towering Etzebeth, who will reportedly earn more than 1 million euros ($1.1 million) a season at Stade Felix Mayol, joins a long list of Springboks to play for the side run by controversial president Mourad Boudjellal.
"Toulon were quite an easy choice. Many South Africans have played here. Bryan Habana, Bakkies Botha, Duane Vermeulen and many many more," he told AFP earlier this week."
Damn, that's alot of money for doing what you love.
So much money for Pollard. Wow!! What a waste.
Good luck to your son Dave !
I am happy for the rugby players earning big bugs playing for NH clubs, But are they really doing that well compared to other codes of sport. Even a middle of the range golfers made plenty of bugs per year - the cricketers make more than the rugby players in 8 weeks playing in the IPL than players like Etzebeth and Pollard makes in a year,
Beside that the cricketers get monthly income from SCA and play in other series all over the world, making even more money, Most of the rugby players will love to make the money cricket players like De Villiers, Morris and De Kock make in a year. .
"So much money for Pollard. Wow!! What a waste."
Some prize achievement at the highest level...clearly you don't regard the RWC victory in the same vein as the rich French club owners...you have a point, but not as good a point as you believe.
Dave rugby has really exploded in the USA......surprisingly.
Your son has made an excellent career decision and I wish him well with all the success that comes his way.
