How much money do rugby players i.e. Byron Kelleher make?

Question

This was just a random thought that i couldn't answer so i decided to ask.

Answer 1

$200,000 (All Blacks)

  $100,000 (Super 14)

  $50,000   (Air NZ Cup)

Answer 2

Australian Rugby stars up to $1M a season plus endorsements, Gitteau, Stanisforth etc... several of them in Super 14.

Answer 3

I hear you there brother but in England, France and South Africa because of the demographics they pay a whole lot more.

Answer 4

Certainly not as much as the footballers get. Think it depends from player to player. The people who has contracts with their respective Unions, should be earning around $1M or above. Others just get paid on match by match basis.

Answer 5

Giteau is the highest paid rugby player in Australia with a contract of $1M a season, (plus endorsements etc). I believe he's the first player to break the million dollar mark, Tuqiri isn't far behind.

Other players would be on a fair bit less than that......... maybe half

All the players get performance bonuses based on how the team performs at RWC, tri nations, S14 etc

Answer 6

$3.87 per minute.

Answer 7

More than they should. No one cheers me when I clock on and no one sings to me as I work. I don't have showers on the job and there are no young chicks in short dresses waving pom pom's at me when I walk through the door either.

I don't get my work clothes embroidered or given free, and I cant get my mates to sign them and put them on trade me for $4000 either. I have never had a beer company as a sponsor and a V8 Holden to carry my weary bones to and fro!

In short, I Que 4hrs to pay $35 to watch my team, pay $150 for a shirt, sing all the songs and drink $8 cans in the rain, and push my mazda half the way home in time for the replay where

I dream of a clean pair of overalls on Monday.
