They get paid in cash, and no other way. If you choose not to believe me it's your loss. Tell me; would you play a competitive sport for free when getting injured could cost you sick leave in your place of work?

there'd need to be organised club competitions for them to be paid .... that'd be enough proof for me

All the competitions linked through the Wikipedia article are organised club competitions for premiership points and premiership cups.

I read the NZAFL annual report from 2010

from the financial report

" NZAFL reports a loss of $25,000.00 dollars in 2010 "

.... gee thats a good start

as if they'd be able to pay players anything more then a bit of beer money

What about the clubs? THEY pay the players, not the NZAFL!

There are many examples across business of a chief body up the creek but local parts doing very well.

yeah

shame NZAFL isn't one of them eh ?

It is. The league could not function with it and the clubs in debt in a non heartland region.

well they are

NZ being the proof

The league is continuing to function, contrary to your ridiculous assertion. It could only do so if the clubs were running a profit and they are.

Are the NRL in debt, Beaussie?
