How much money is enough

[Dan54]

Just reading that NZRU are investing $16.5 mill in community rugby over next 3 years, to be used to get and develop young players, refs etc. The question I have is this enough? Seriously I not sure how much ARU or SARU put into the lower echelons of game. This does not include the $8 mill a year for provincial rugby.

The ARU have a formula on what they spend on community Rugby.
It is two fifths of three quarters of fuck all.

True - but that's still more than $NZ16.5m

2011 ARU Annual report financials - Community Rugby $3.623 million. http://activemagazine.smedia.com.au...wserWindowWidth=1910&browserWindowHeight=1150

2011 NSW Annual report - Community Rugby $2.341 million ($1.276 million from ARU allocation)http://www.nswrugby.com.au/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Xxw35kNr5a8=&tabid=590

Just over "two fifths of three quarters of fuck all" and substantially less than $NZ16.5 million or at todays rate $A13.321 million. Actually two fifths of three quarters is $A3.996 million. Pretty close ILTW.

At the moment Aus rugby needs to be spending more money on club rugby/development than anyother major rugby nation - we are falling behind - I would like to see a HUGE investment put into club/development and also the advertising and marketing of the game..

I know you cant put a dollar value you on it - but taking into account that NZ club rugby is already much stronger than Aus - I would say ARU would need to be investing 20-30 mil on this project...and considering they have left it so long to do anything means that they will be speaning more than they should....

ARU and how they are running things is a total joke and running aus rugby into the ground....

$16.5 million can go a long way in New Zealand. That's a lot of paua fritters for one thing.

How many metres of scaffolding does that equate to?

All their scaffolders are over here, working in the West and North, on FIFO resources boom projects.

It would take them a long time to construct $16.5m of scaffolding.
