Deloitte State of Unions Report
-
And to demonstrate that point - here's the team that played the final - I've bolded the guys who weren't in the (low paid) squad in 2017.
Perry, Makalio, Lomax
Strange, Parkinson
Squire, Taufua, Havili
Christie, Hunt
Nankivell, Aumua
Jordan, Faingaanuku, HaviliSalmon, Roach, Crockett, Cirikidaveta, Norris, Keisuke, O'Malley, Paea.
Lomax is a good pick-up from Australia - but, on the other hand we've lost Hames and Halanukunuku, so I doubt he's more expensive than them.
Havili was not required by Auckland in 2018 and Big Leicester was recruited from Nelson College.
Norris and Paea were promoted from Ta$man club rugby - I think Cirikadveta as well.
Crockett has returned to his hometown and has bought a sports shop.
Which leaves international recruits Roach and Keisuke. I doubt we've broken the bank on the reserves bench.

Fair enough. But what was the cost increase 16 to 17? They ran to a very low profit in 17 knowing they had a windfall in the pipeline.

@Crucial I think the relevant budget line is the Team and Match-related costs. Ta$man has always had low figures there.
And to check...2016 Ta$man (1.954 million - 11th highest). Lost the final to Canterbury (4.451 million - highest!).
One would hope Canterbury had some significant test match hosting expenses that year!

@Crucial Which, as noted, will be the costs of hosting the test match - mainly installing the temporary seating.
I'd imagine Canterbury has similar costs when they host tests.
We can't see the figures on that but I doubt it would be 1.5m . That would be $70 per person spend for that one game where 3,000 seats were added.

Ta$man Storm
We'll all anxiously await the 2020 report to see whether Ta$man won the title on a shoe-string...

@Crucial Probably quite a few other additional expenses.
But that explanation makes a lot more sense than that we increased the player budget by $1.5 million without recruiting anyone big.

Here's the 2017 squad - significant players who've been shed include Halonukunuku, Kane Hames, Alex Ainley (captain), Pete Samu and James Lowe.
