I would say that when you aren't paying for a bloke to be a full time professional, it's a bit rich to try and judge what he is doing for the other 3/4 of a year.
NRC teams will already favour local players they have better access to and can actually watching throughout the season anyway. If they are considering somebody external, it's because they look better than the locals.
I suppose it then comes down to how much are they getting paid.. Your probably right if the NRC teams are only paying for them for 1/4 of the year then what right do they have.
Unless of course you state well your in our team unless your at super rugby your a professional rugby player in the NRC.. you will train be available and basically work all year round for the NRC team..
I dunno the whats the best answer .. wish i did
