"Players returning from overseas"
-
Have mentioned this in an earlier post about possibly paying Super Rugby players based in NZ more to keep them at home, also allowing overseas based players including Kiwis in Aussie super franchises to play NPC and become eligible for the All Blacks. Would this have some merit and could it potentially make it much more competitive for anyone vying to play for the All Blacks? Most people will argue that no one would want to play for Kiwi super teams, with more money this could curb that.

@SBW1 I wonder if that is what Razor maybe proposing. Sure he may want to call on RM and a few others if things aren't going well. The idea of an NPC strengthened by overseas based Kiwis vying for the All Blacks could create one hell of a concept.

Only if NPC was the pathway level to the ABs.

It would also kill SR even more so I can’t see your idea happening.
Plus those players would still be playing overseas so would have to have the overseas clubs releasing them etc to play in another comp.
Also those players if playing for the ABs would be playing virtually all year around with no break. -
@Chris More money needs to be poored into our Super teams that is for certain. For the concept to work, it would depend on each club's willingness to release players. This is all hypothetical of course, we are talking about URC which has a number of potential candidates, Japan Top League, Kiwis playing in Aussie and Drua super teams and MLR. Our domestic Super teams wouldn't necessarily be compromised if more money was paid, even if Kiwis did leave there would be no shortage of foreigners wanting to play in NZ.

Jesus, why are we in an age of rubbish articles of no substance?
What is this clash? All the article says is one coach is open to one thing, and another doesn't think something is a good idea. How the fuck is that tension building?
Also, the article was published the day DMac resigned and they haven't corrected it.
This off field stuff is shitting me at the moment.

Private investment will be the only way SR will be paid more to the level to keep players here.
So private ownership of the SR teams is the way that would work . -

@SBW1 ROAR aussie rugby site said same thing, but actually Foster says he would like it but believes it would be detrmental to super and NPC , hardly tension or clashing!
The article posted by @SBW1 was a reprint of the Roar article on another site.
