A good financial year for especially BoP and Ta$man.
Hell, yes. Especially BOP - not sure what they're doing, but doing it really well. Others could emulate that
So Ta$man got a test match, meaning they got a nice surplus, which they then spent on recruitment and stacked their team.
So good on them for managing the situation well but how is that not a huge advantage over other unions that didn't get a test?

No - the jump in spending in the Team and Match Related Costs will relate to the additional costs of hosting the Test match.
If you look at the same budget line for 2017, Ta$man has the 4th lowest Team and match costs and the key personnel didn't change much. We made the final in 2017 (and 2016).
We built a good team over a long period of time - made up of a combination of Ta$man players and other people's discards.

And to demonstrate that point - here's the team that played the final - I've bolded the guys who weren't in the (low paid) squad in 2017.
Perry, Makalio, Lomax
Strange, Parkinson
Squire, Taufua, Havili
Christie, Hunt
Nankivell, Aumua
Jordan, Faingaanuku, HaviliSalmon, Roach, Crockett, Cirikidaveta, Norris, Keisuke, O'Malley, Paea.
Lomax is a good pick-up from Australia - but, on the other hand we've lost Hames and Halanukunuku, so I doubt he's more expensive than them.
Havili was not required by Auckland in 2018 and Big Leicester was recruited from Nelson College.
Norris and Paea were promoted from Ta$man club rugby - I think Cirikadveta as well.
Crockett has returned to his hometown and has bought a sports shop.
Which leaves international recruits Roach and Keisuke. I doubt we've broken the bank on the reserves bench.

Fair enough. But what was the cost increase 16 to 17? They ran to a very low profit in 17 knowing they had a windfall in the pipeline.

@Crucial I think the relevant budget line is the Team and Match-related costs. Ta$man has always had low figures there.
And to check...2016 Ta$man (1.954 million - 11th highest). Lost the final to Canterbury (4.451 million - highest!).
One would hope Canterbury had some significant test match hosting expenses that year!

@Chris-B said in Deloitte State of Unions Report:
@Crucial Which, as noted, will be the costs of hosting the test match - mainly installing the temporary seating.
I'd imagine Canterbury has similar costs when they host tests.
We can't see the figures on that but I doubt it would be 1.5m . That would be $70 per person spend for that one game where 3,000 seats were added.

Ta$man Storm
We'll all anxiously await the 2020 report to see whether Ta$man won the title on a shoe-string...
-
@Crucial Probably quite a few other additional expenses.
But that explanation makes a lot more sense than that we increased the player budget by $1.5 million without recruiting anyone big.

Here's the 2017 squad - significant players who've been shed include Halonukunuku, Kane Hames, Alex Ainley (captain), Pete Samu and James Lowe.

-
@mariner4life We're from Nelson - we only have one set of books!!!
We have come out on top due to brains and skill - the NPC All Blacks to your NPC Englands!
