Sir Arthur Higgins
Dick Tooth (41)
i'm well aware people move for more than just money, but the dollar figures help provide context as to what they have to match - whether that is through salary, sponsorships or other. i think there is a dose of reality here in that if he's offered - let's say it's $1.5M which i reckon is probably accurateish given the list above, i don't care what post career perks you talk about, if the ARU can't give him a million, it's unlikely he'd stay. the question is how do they get him over that 500k difference gap. what does he like outside of rugby and what does he want to do after rugby? they need to focus here in conjunction with the world cup. wallaby selection and the olympics.
he loves his church and he's pretty charitable. does he have a charity of his own? does he want to start one? how about some charitable work in tonga tied to rugby and the rest of Team Tonga - ARU find a way to get exposure and funds to his charity or a charity of his choice/for which he is an ambassador.
