Combien pourrait gagner Louis Rees-Zammit en NFL

Louis Rees-Zammit

Après plusieurs semaines de spéculations, l’ancien ailier du Pays de Galles Louis Rees-Zammit s’est donc vu proposer un nouveau contrat avec les Jacksonville Jaguars en NFL, le championnat de football américain.

Devenu agent libre après l’expiration d’un premier contrat, l’ancien international gallois (32 sélections) a accepté une nouvelle offre et rejoint l’effectif élargi de la franchise (90 joueurs) avant la présaison. Rees-Zammit, qui avait intégré l’équipe d’entraînement des Jaguars en août après un passage chez les Kansas City Chiefs, n’avait pas été promu en équipe première la saison dernière, alors que Jacksonville a terminé avant-dernier de l’AFC South.

Il gagne près de 3 fois plus qu’au rugby

Selon le site spécialisé Over The Cap, son nouveau contrat lui garantit un salaire de base de 840 000 dollars (environ 800 000 euros), soit le minimum pour un rookie, un statut qu’il conserve puisqu’il n’a pas joué en NFL la saison passée. Toutefois, il ne touchera cette somme que s’il parvient à intégrer l’effectif final de 53 joueurs pour la saison régulière qui dure 18 semaines.

En cas d’échec, il pourrait se retrouver à nouveau dans l’équipe d’entraînement avec un salaire de 13 000 dollars (12 400 euros environ) par semaine. S’il n’est pas du tout conservé, il ne percevra plus rien au-delà de la présaison, où il touchera 2 000 dollars (1 900 euros) par semaine.

Cela reste moins de ce qu’il était censé gagner s’il avait été conservé aux Chiefs  : 2 850 000$, soit 2,7 millions d’euros sur les trois ans de contrat qui lui étaient proposés. Dans tous les cas, c’est bien plus que ce qu’il touchait par an lorsqu’il jouait pour Gloucester en rugby à XV : 225 000£ (270 000€).

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

“….after hyping themselves up for about a year and a half”


You see, this is the disrespect I am talking about. NZ immediately started this character assasination on Irish rugby after the series win “about a year and a half” before the RWC. We win in NZ and suddenly we are arrogant. Do you consider this respectful?

And please substantiate Ireland talking themselves up comment: for every supposed instance of this there is surely 100x examples of NZ talking themselves up?

We were ranked 1, but that’s not talking ourselves up. We were playing good rugby.


Re the QF: that was a one score match: if you say we ‘choked’ you are really saying that Ireland were the better team but pressure got to them on the day? That is demeaning to your own team and another example of disrespect to Ireland.


New Zealand:

-NZ’s year long prep included a wall defence that Ireland had not seen until the match.

-Insights on all players strenghts and weaknesses. The scrum coach said that he had communicated several times with Barnes about Porter. He also noted when Barnes was looking at Porter he was NOT looking at the NZ front row.

-A favourable draw meaning NZ would play Ireland in a QF, where Ireland would not have a knock out win under their belt.

-A (another) favourable scheduling meant that NZ could focus on the QF literally after the France match and focus on Ireland after they beat SA in the pool.


Ireland:

-Unfavourable draw: have to play the triple world cup champions with players having multi RWC knock out match winning caps in the QF, when Ireland DONT want to play a top 4 team.

-Unfavourable schedule: Have to play world no 5 Scotland 6-7 days before the quarter. Have to prepare for this which compares unfavourably with NZs schedule (Uruguay 9 days before QF). Both wingers get injured with no time to recover.

-Match: went 13-0 down but came back. Try held up brilliantly by Barrett and last play of the match saw Ireland move from their own 10 metre line to 10 metres from the NZ line.

Jordan himself said that the NZ line was retreating and someone needed to do something which was Whitelock.


Ireland died with their boots on. You saw the reaction from NZ after the whistle. Claiming Ireland choked is disrespectful to NZ and to a great rugby match. It is also indicative of the disrespect shown by NZ and fans to Ireland since 2022. We saw it in some NZ players having a go at Irish players and supporters after the whistle. Is that respect?
