[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 720824, member: 38640"] Agree with the above post, and reiterate what I have said before. There are many reasons to travel. I myself am leaving the first job I truly enjoy, to travel Europe with no offers of income because I want the experience. But if my dream job was to be an All Black, it would take more than just a new experience to make me leave it. If I had a young family my priority would be securing their future, and it would take a very good offer to uproot my famoly. For that reason I would look for the best deal in terms of setting me up, and generally that has been cash injected French clubs. The fact they have nice wine, cheese and beaches comes after the fact. Hypothetically if Germany or Spain had a domestic league with the same profile and resources to spend on foreign players, I would expect a similar number of kiwis going there to play. As it is France is generally the highest bidder. When other leagues, be it Japan, Aviva Prem, Rabo Pro 12, have put forward financially better offers than what is going in France - we see players having no hesitation playing there. [/QUOTE]
