no need for it, he’s very well off. think he’s on over a mill$ a year

Who?

who are the warriors?

Facts

They let walsh go on compassionate grounds.. he wanted to be with his daughter in brisbane. Warriors said they wouldn't let him go to the dolphins and so he went to the broncos. If you give players all the power, what's to stop them from all of them asking for a million bucks.. Sometimes no is needed

Nope simply put the players need to be fined monetary fines from their contracts if they are not trying to their full intent. They sign a contract which has obligations and responsibilities for you and if you don’t uphold them you loose money.

Ben Hunt doesn't want to be at the dragons.

Home and away. River. Boys. Go. With. Titans

Schuster is a bad example to use.

Schuster got a massive payout. He got the boot, but he still got way more than he deserved.

They give a payout so if you want to leave as a player you should not only loose the money yet to be paid but you should also be fined a huge amount. Any other contract if you simply don’t fulfil the responsibility of it you are fined a substantial amount.

Shuster forced himself out of the club because he's overweight and a lazy trainer, and I'm a Manly supporter.

Phill Gould is a very intelligent business man.

Players should also have a superannuation system put in place.

The players who have the power are not the ones who play only 43 games in their careers ;)

@@TarsoBsAs Dont be so sure mate. Anyone can get injured at any moment rugby is brutal.

Whilst I hate Gus, he did play in the NSWRL where they use to have to work a full time job and play. Rather than state that players have no skills after they retire and blow their money well isnt it their fault or the clubs fault for not getting them or teaching them financial planning, after all just look at the mega bucks in any major US sport majority of their players end up broke years after their retirement and their on more money than NRL players. End of the day it’s up to the players to look at life after footy, whether that is going to uni or doing a trade.

@@jasonjudkins2056 you cant compare nba /nfl money to nrl. NRL is literally peanuts in comparison but at the same time living in sydney/brissy/goldy/melb are just as expensive as US cities. So its a lot easier to go broke after. Yes it is up to the players THATS WHY THESE OPTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. They are looking after themselves first because footy doesnt last forever.

If you are being managed correctly, you should have back up plans, investments etc. Most players are retired by 35, no matter how good they were, so if you are starting out and don’t make it within 3 years or so with no backup plan then you need to work on back up plans. That’s just life. There are very few players who are truly elite, and managers should be helping their players out in life, not telling them they are the next best thing. In all likelihood, they aren’t.
