On Tigers Locks has Blake Enever got a full Reds contract because he wasn't listed in the squad released on Friday? Does anyone know?
He's gone to the Brumbies
$425 Norths this year.
On a side note, why so expensive here in Australia?
Just saw my NZ club have put their fees up. To $120!! And you get all of the above as well.
Someone in Australian sport is making a killing!!!

I believe the simple answer is insurance. New Zealand's insurance structures, I believe, are dramatically different from Australia.
I believe that would be the biggest discrepancy.
In NZ we have ACC.
Accident Compensation Corporation.
Basically it's government cover, and if you get injured in an "accident", most of the surgeries, physios and doctors visits are covered.
If you need time off work eg a knee recon, they cover the cost of the surgery and your income. You get 80% of your full income after the first week off work. Some employers top up your income to 100%.
It's like Medicare and some extras, and income protection all mixed into one.
I miss ACC. Spent a fair bit of time under their wing
