Illogical… Australia with 1/3 of the purse is worse off than RSA with 1/3 of the purse when you consider how rubbish the Rand is and how much higher the cost of living is in the worlds most liveable country.

So if RSA according to you cannot retain it’s players because of the above then they have inept administrators (surprise surprise)…

Sias is leaving due to poor player management and lack of opportunity thanks to Naka… not money.

Seriously, Sias is too mentally fickle to play in South Africa (just like me). The Aussies do a much better job of turning average players into great players. (they have to, they have very little talent to go around). In SA, it shape up or ship out. We don’t work with players, much to our detriment.

The good news, is that this mean that the Force won’t be signing Peter Grant who was also rumoured to sign for them. Actually, it would be funny if Sias now had to play second fiddle to another superior Saffer flyhalf.

i rate sias but looks to be one of those “confidence” player sorts.

the ozzies will help you sort this their players never seem to lack confidence.

The Aus getting a third of the Super rugby purse is allowing them to poach, they do not have to run a second tier team in other competitions, SARU need to sort this **** out when this is renegotiated. Supersport pay way too much for what we get, otherwise we must get out of Super Rugby.

They say there is not so much to do so you “kuier” much more their with friends, team mates, etc.
