[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1002393, member: 40658"] The problem is that we are only looking at the big 5. And we are forgetting that there are actually 16 unions involved. So the other 11 unions would also then want centralised contracts, and that's where SARU will burn a lot of money, as most of those unions' players are semi-pro or amateur level players, and only get some form of payment by way of match fees. It would be a financial burden to go that route. But yeah, the franchises, of which there are now 7 left, after the Kings implosion, could look at going the centralised route. Although, I think SARU would only commit if they can get all the remaining franchises involved in a tournament of some sort where they can generate revenue... [/QUOTE]
