[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 155733"] It's not that simple either Woosaah. The biggest money around is sponsorship money and sponsors only want to back winners in NZ. With only four million people they want to put their money into the highest probability of return. Even if its a Otago company of origin like Speights, they'll sponsor the whole Super 14 instead of Otago as they did this year. Big namers like Ford etc won't sponsor Southland or Manawatu, they want Canterbury or Auckland. That's the way it's progressively gonna go. Money is poured into Canterbury from outside of Canterbury, believe it or not. That money has bought players like Justin Marshall, Corey Flynn and many others from around the country. Wellington had the money to take Ben Herring, when we got him as a rookie and developed him. That's really helping. By the way, helping Tasman has ONLY been for the benefit of the Crusaders as the Canterbury NPC side has a salary cap. Absolute baloney that they are helping anyone aside from themselves and development of Mid and South Canterbury is only in their own interests. As another passing note, Tasman have a several hundred thousand dollar sponsorship from a traitorous company SBS. Whats that stand for Southland Building Society. The ironies go on. Canterbury are the richest. The are the best for that reason......mainly. They are a fine side and a great business, but benevolent? NO WAY. [/QUOTE]
