Aussie Player Exodus

[Major Tom]

Doesn't really matter because we've committed to not changing anything.

Well, happy to hear how you'd solve it legend

There's a 700 page thread around here somewhere with plenty of my thoughts.

I think RA is doing reasonably well on player retention (which the thread is about). How many important players have RA lost in reality? Not a huge amount. They are constrained (like NZR) on population base etc, and so isn't endless amount of coin to keep paying players what some can get in NH.
All the yelling that rugby in Aus will die is just wind. WR (World Rugby) etc will make sure it doesn't even if it did look like it would.

I did bit of research, and it seems NZ rugby have a salary cap of $12.5m. Even if that is NZ $, it double the salary cap RA have. No wonder NZ rugby have better retention of players + better clubs. imagine we had a $10m+ salary cap. we wouldn't be losing so many players OS.
