For Mr. Average South African the Kaizer Chiefs (or other club) has always been the bigger draw.

Always will be.

The fact of the matter is that its an open market.

Rugby League fought for 100 years to have the position that a player could swap teams and codes if need be to earn as much money as possible.

It should hardly be whining when things don't go its way.

If the Crusaders want the best juniors, then pay market value for them.


Anyway, as has been stated plenty of times already, Rugby Union in Wales has less money than Keiron Cunninghams dietitian.

I dare say 'market value', particularly for an academy player and moreso when the 'poaching' WRU have bugger all money, will not put any sort of serious dent in their salary cap (if indeed they are operating within one).

When it is so low, it is clear it will,

the wages, in RU are higher than RL, by paying market value for players wanted by the WRU they are going to end up paying out more for them, and still under the league SC

would longer term contracts be the answer? then at least the unions (be it welsh or otherwise) would have to pay a fee to the league club. this in turn could be invested in new players and/or the youth set-up.

i think the answer is to remove players developed by clubs from that clubs salary cap,

and have the cap on players brought in from other clubs and overseas
