[QUOTE="saulan, post: 904772, member: 60236"] Sure, that would definitely be something that would be interesting to see (the dynamics of players in these leagues). My gut feel is that most that are there from New Zealand are older players who either had All Black careers, or have decided they aren't going to make the All Blacks consistently after a decent stint in their home league (usually above the age of 25), and are now looking to make some extra cash in their careers. I feel like the South African situation was that a number of years ago, but now there is another subset of players in their prime going over to get cash very early on in their careers because of the huge gap in funds (looking at players like Steven Kitshoff, Paul Willemse and Johan Goosen). Does this match the perspective of others? [/QUOTE]
