The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

Heā€™s from a fairly wealthy family so doesnā€™t need to worry about money anyways. A professional career can be cut very short so fair fucks to him if thatā€™s what he wants to do. Just a shame heā€™s going to potentially have to interact with Irish NFL fans.

Maybe not at the top end, but i believe, again tp be corrected if ypu get any game time in the NFL ypu get a much higher payday arpund half a million. All you need is to get the shot really. Shorter season, less constant contact. No doubt the hits are hard.

Saying that i dont see any player making a successful transaction

They are playing Scotland in the 6Nations in Cardiff in a couple of weeks and there was an ad on the radio yesterday advertising tickets for it - that is some change from when 6Nations tickets were like gold dust in Wales. This news wonā€™t help matters much.

Average NFL salary is only about 600 k iirc. Iā€™d say heā€™s not that far off it now between club, country, lions and endorsements, but he maybe wants a change of scenery. Be some adventure anyway.

He would get more in endorsement deals from this side of the pond along with anything over.

The playing schedule is much shorter in the NFL, essentially yoy are summer training camp from july until the start of Jan, all going well upto February. Theres about 4 or 5 months of an off season

Saw this on the zuckerbook

@Raylan read of an ennistymon rugby team in the 1920s banned for life and banned from ever reforming but no one certain what they did to merit such heavy-handedness.

Shed some light if you will

Iā€™ll have to ask one of the elders, I was told before but canā€™t remember was it to do with an ear going missing or a ref :confused:

Have you the corporate box bought already @flattythehurdler?

Shayne Bolton is a mighty bit of stuff. Nice bit of cut to him.

Thatā€™s a try all day except when itā€™s in the Sportsground

When they had to look at it for that long they couldnā€™t be sure and even at that I couldnā€™t see his foot touching the line.

One still there had clear green between his foot and the line.
Anyhow
