  • A South African Player Can Earn More from a Two-Month Contract in Japan Than He Can If He Were to Win the World Cup with the Springboks This Year
    “A South African player can earn more from a two-month contract in Japan than he can if he were to win the World Cup with the Springboks this year. That's the reality we have to face up to.” - SA Rugby Volume 19, Number 18 23 May 2019 Register to receive your own free weekly newsletter at www.leopardnewsletters.co.za The 2019 SA Player Exodus Begins It has become a regular event in South African rugby that clubs from around the world send scouts in search of talent. Lately, it happens at the end of the PRO14 and about halfway through Super Rugby that local stars and some up-and-coming players are offered obscene amounts of cash. It began with European and Asian clubs targeting our off-season, which meant those players would still be available in their off-season but as the global rugby calendar expanded, that strategy ran into problems. Now the gloves are off and players are signing two-, three- and even five-year contracts. The only thing that’s changing is that the exodus is And, as mere rugby fans, we have no right to getting larger as more players take the opportunities complain. It’s very simple: most rugby players have, presented to them. And those who feel that they have at best, a 15-year professional career.

  • Mr Fixit’ Jake White Hopes Spending Spree Can Lift Bulls from Doldrums Seeks to Make the Northern Bulls a Powerhouse Again
    18 Sports Tuesday, June30, 2020 Photo of the Day NFL players union unhappy at Brady, Wilson workouts LOS ANGELES: The NFL players union on Sunday criticised unofficial workouts conducted by star quar- terbacks Tom Brady and Russell Wilson, saying the prac- tices were risking player safety during the coronavirus crisis. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Brady and Seattle Sea- hawks signal-caller Wilson have both faced scrutiny re- cently after conducting throwing sessions with receivers in the build-up to official pre-season training camps. However NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith told USA Today in an interview on Sunday that the sessions were potentially compromising players and the upcoming season. “Those practices are not in the best interests of player safety,” Smith said. “They’re not in the best inter- ests of protecting our players heading into training camp and I don’t think they’re in the best interests of us getting through an entire season.” Smith said the practices could complicate the NFLPA’s negotiations with the league over how players who contract COVID-19 will be classified and compen- sated. “I certainly understand how competitive our players are and I get that,” Smith said. “But at the same time we are in the process of trying to negotiate with the league about what happens to a player if they test positive dur- ing the season. “Does that player go on injured reserve? Does that player go on short-term IR? If you test positive for the virus after training camp, is that a work-related injury? Are you covered under worker’s comp? “What benefits are available to you if you have downstream injuries from contacting COVID-19? “All of the things that players may want to do during the off- Abdo Feghali seen during Red Bull Car Park Drift World Championship Qualifier 2019 in Georgia.
