[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1041749, member: 70842"] True. But I also think that you have to look at the world differently in these situations. Tonga GDP per person is $5,000 11 years ago when Fekitoa was 18 it was $3.3K. Back then it was unheard of players making these massive amounts. Hell the 2003 rugby World Cup a large chunk of the pacific island teams were amateurs. No one forced him too but the economic pressures shouldn’t be underestimated. [/QUOTE]
