| 163779 | 2003-07-30 01:55:00 | $80k - 3.5 times the average wage. That is obscene - just for chasing a ball around a paddock. |

| 163780 | 2003-07-30 02:43:00 | Initially i was all for em getting the same level of bonus as there international counterparts,untill i learned that they on average get paid upto 3 times a year what players for the other countries do. Although,who knows what sort of spin was put on those vauge figures,i presume they were released by the NZRU so are probally worthless as a reference. Their point being that Doug Hewwit is on 300 grand a year compared to the average aussie player being on 100 grand a year probally isn't a good comparison as im sure the top aussie players are on a big wicket. meh,im not getting anywhere. But screw the NZRU,those in suits get paid with money generated by those on the feild,They only exist because of the efforts of the players,yet they think they have the final say? Now thats what makes me sick,i bet there pockets are lined. GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS. |

| 163784 | 2003-07-30 03:53:00 | anyway.. heres the media release Bonus dispute finally over The New Zealand Rugby Union and the New Zealand Rugby Players Association have finally settled their dispute over the All Blacks Rugby World Cup bonuses. The NZRU will pay the players an $80,000 bonus each if they go through the Rugby World Cup undefeated and win the tournament, the NZRU and the NZRPA said in a joint statement on Tuesday. The bonus payment is structured in the following manner: Pool match win $2,000 Quarter-final win $13,000 Semi-final win $15,000 Final win $50,000 The NZRU has also agreed to indemnify the All Blacks against any fines imposed on the players by Rugby World Cup Ltd during the tournament. Additionally, the NZRU will work with the NZRPA to create a commercial programme that will capitalise on the benefits if they were to win the Rugby World Cup. NZRU chief executive Chris Moller said the outcome was a compromise that was a direct result of the mediation process. Most importantly, the agreement ensures that the best possible All Blacks team can participate at the Rugby World Cup. "Both parties have met in the middle in terms of the bonus payment," Moller said. "The NZRU intends to bridge the gap between its original offer and the agreed offer through an enhanced commercial programme leveraging the immediate benefits should we win the Rugby World Cup. "The extra potential cost of the bonus will not reduce the NZRU's current investment in provincial and community rugby. "The NZRU will continue its planned programme of activity in 2003, which includes its commitment to provincial and community rugby because that is where the base of the game is and where the future talent of the game is developed. At the same time we will work very hard to ensure that there is no impact on the NZRU's reserves. "While remuneration negotiations are always difficult processes in any industry or profession, the NZRU is pleased that both parties were able to resolve this issue once we went to mediation." NZRPA executive director Rob Nichol said that all the All Blacks were seeking throughout the dispute was to be treated fairly. "The agreement we have reached is a fair compromise which will allow the players to now get on with the job of playing rugby and seeking to perform to the best of their abilities in the Rugby World Cup," Nichol said. "The NZRPA and the NZRU will work together now to develop an enhanced commercial programme to produce the extra revenue needed to pay the bonuses should the All Blacks win the Rugby World Cup." Both parties paid tribute to the Department of Labour's Mediation Service. |
