[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 193944"] Some of these ex-AB mercs heading up aren't in it for the money you know. Spare a thought for Chris Jack at Saracens. He was sold on the promise that his family would get a better quality of life and his kids a better standard of education. His salary is actually on par with what he was being paid back in New Zealand. In which case, maybe the NZRU have been looking at this wrong. Maybe in future they should dangle non-monetary extras like free top class schooling for players kids, NZRU cars and expenses for the select elite who regularly make it into the All Black first XV, stuff like that. The NZRU can't compete in terms of salary, but they could definitely increase the quality of life for players through means other than just throwing money at them. [/QUOTE]
