@@couplegrands5189 its good in a sense that there is a shake up and that the players have more say however if making money is the players number 1 goal then the game will turn to shite
Rugby Players deserve this and more! I had an aspiring rugby career however got cut short due to torn knee ligaments, broken clavicle and a back operation. Didn't get the opportunity to make money. If the money is there, pay the players
Michael may not be the most trustworthy guy out there, but if he’s bringing opportunities and better pay to our biggest name rugby players - that’s good!
I feel the same way, his speach at the beginning and how he speaks on behalf of everyone sounds so rehersed and fake. I would rather hear Jerry Maguire quotes lol. Im not saying he's not doing a great job for the players. Just all the politically correct and crafted statements to make him look as "mother Teresa" when we all know its about the money (nothing wrong with that).
Forgive me if I’m being naive, but doesn’t the game need to grow before the players can get footballer salaries? Don’t get me wrong, these boys deserve the big bucks and a lot of looking after given how hard they work and the safety aspects of the game. I can’t help but think paying too few people too much could demolish the game, but happy to listen to what experts have to say!
Roc nation saw a great opportunity and a smart move to get in this market because it’s big in United Kingdom and Europe. Also Southern Hemisphere Nations and Japan. USA needs to host a rugby World Cup just like Japan did in order to grow and catch up to the rest of the world.
@@bradleylefika9209 lol yeah and that’s where the moneys at. Any sport that’s big in the US are the highest paid atheletes. Think NBA, boxing etc. Mike Tyson, Floyd may weather etc. Tyson got paid 30-40 million per fight in his peak. That’s more than what Jonah lomu got paid in his entire career. Not to mention that even in Europe and Asia, soccer is way bigger than rugby by a long shot.
It's concerning for these athletes going in these meetings on their own. I understand it's just a meet and greet, lawyers are only there for contract signing. However, they need a support person with them in these meetings. It's a good experience for them to build their post rugby career.
Its very cleverly suggested that they don't need to come in with a friend and if they were to do so it would indicate mistrust on their part as we are all friends here.
@@drinkingup2157 I agree. These athletes would go on and learn that going to these meetings, they would need a good friend to go with them. If that doesn't work, best thing is never agree or sign anything in those meetings.
Take an example of Jordan Hendricks what does he know of the business and contract world he plays for a club the lions yes they are paid...but I just feel fir someone that young to go up wolf in sheep clothes he needed someone their to support him...
This will give the Kardashians(all the unessary drama and pauses) a run for their money 😭idk what to think. These players should have a lawyer present or something that they know exactly what contracts they signing. Hopefully, 5 years from now, RugbyPass isn't doing a documentary on rugby agent scams on Roc Nation😬
Wearing that loud balenciaga jersey is the first thing you see. As long as he gets the chaps $$$ and brings money in, all good. Just reminds me of a used car salesman.
ROC nation, how clever is this guy, even tho he cleverly uses his entrepreneurial skills to profile top quality rugby players world wide, but this is his opportunity to make this a world wide TV show with the best rugby players in the world following their lives as top athletes, the rugby market, followers etc is untouched with this type of series, Clever clever man
This is GREAT for rugby. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t care about our players making money and staying in SA. Why do you think everyone leaves to Japan FFS 😂 Let’s make SA rugby 🏉 a powerhouse with rugby superstars. Game will develop and so will the boks. Thank you RocNation
How do u think roc nation will build up popularity worldwide ? Have these boys on their music videos ? Invite jay z and Beyonce and DJ Khaled perform weekly in the rugby super 12 ? 😆 these boys are being recycled ♻️ in by the matrix . If they had the right mindset they would monetise themselves
This is more than worrying! Watching this does not give any good vibe or feeling at all. Hope i am wrong but i would not at all trust these people!!! Money is for sure tempting but it is not worth to sell your soul.
Oh please be quiet. These men risk their health playing this sport. Now granted they knowingly decide to do this. I’m all for players getting paid as much as they can whilst they can.
It’s great that someone is trying to help rugby players boost their profile and all but the professional game need a whole restructuring. Two clubs in the premiership bust and two more bout to follow suit. We’ll end up with less teams, less games and less money in the global game and only a few rich players and agents left at the end of it all. Maybe it would be better to grow the global game as a whole so we don’t milk it dry first…..
Yes indeed it's great for the game but how do you think roc nation is going to contribute in boosting rugby popularity ? Invite roc nation music artists to perform weekly at the super 12? Dj Khaled, jay z? ect... 😆

God, what a bunch of scumbags. They want to "renegotiate" a contract that has already been agreed and signed by both sides? Guess who will profit. Guess whose reputation will suffer?
Why does the narration always come while the people are talking??? Why can't it just be during the scenes where there's no dialogue? It's no annoying because we want to hear what's being said. If it was not intended for us to hear, than we shouldn't be able to still hear what's being said while the narrator is speaking.
I'm a Yank and not a fan of this company. I want the game to grow. I just don't want it to turn into the NFL. Yanks will fall in love with the humbleness of Rugby players.
Its not about the agent and what to he does. Rugby will need ppl like him. Its about this 9 min jerk fest video. So cringi, we all know that agent is about the money and not about all that fake BS in his speeches. Feels like this was paid by him and his company to promote him self, not about rugby at all.
This is not about growing rugby at all. It is about the monopoly of talent and everything surrounding it including sponsorships, other commercial considerations. Once you have sold your soul, they control you and everything you do. If they tell you to take a knee to Satan...guess what ! And that slime ball phoning Ardie Savea....total cringe. If something smells, it is usually because something stinking is in the room and this is all one big Yank filled stink!
Bahaha this is like a cheesy soap opera. This agent bloke just oozes greasy snake energy. He probably still does a good job for his players but itd be hard to listen to all the blather during meetings 🤣
Roc Nation have done as much for rugby as the CVC deal did for the premiership; nothing. They're an agency. They're in it for themselves and themselves alone.

Basically what this is is the end of New Zealand as a force in world rugby. These guys will take players away from the New Zealand game which make no mistake is the foundation of New Zealands success. This is a playing field NZ cannot compete in and so all these contracts will take players away from our game. This will weaken our game. If that's the way it is then that's the way it is.
