Yup.
Any cap increase should include a mandated increase in minimum wage first and foremost
It should, but the Lions share will always go to the elite. If you were elite, you would understand.
The issue isn't that players are greedy or holding the game to ransom or anything like that, it's that other codes are willing and able to offer these players much more money. Until the NRL changes the salary cap so that it doesn't artificially hold down player payments to such a ridiculous extent, the stars of the game will leave - and that's a problem.
Right. And human nature states that people who are good at what they do expect to be paid accordingly.
What do you think Hayne is worth to the game.
A hell of a lot.
Because of him a new generation of fans were brought to the game last year.
Imagine if he did sign to another code...these kids would have been devistated.
The code needs the new generations who come because of Benji,JArrod,Billy and co...these players attract the future of the games income.
They will buy merchandise, go to games get pay TV and then introduce their kids to the game...its a cycle.
So many of us are fans because of what we got into as a kid...so many of us didn't have as many choices.
Kids have so many choices today....go see the AFL or Union and their stars (Who ever they are)...or go see Benji and Jarrod...imagine these players were not here...go see Keating and Smith.
These players are not just worth alot for what they bring now....but what they bring for future.
It makes sense for everybody.
the players are happy and will stay.
The fans are happy and will go and spend.
Pay Tv has a futurue generation that will take up subscripion.
FTA has more future viewers.
Its a win win for all...pay them what they are worth and pay the fringe players who add depth what they are worth so they can earn a living here and not OS.
It is win win. People on here are dead set tools. We need icons.
This would be the same Hayne that turned down a larger $$ wise contract to stay with the Eels. I think it was Souths that was after him. He was also bitching his family only got 4 free tickets. Buy the family some you tight wad Haynes.
Yeah, but the stadiums are almost always never full. I dont see what the problem is. Its a small gripe perhaps, but it is one that typifies his argument. More can be done. There is a way, so find it, or your head will eventually be hacked off. This is the game on the chopping block IMHO.
Alot of jealous dopes in this thread wishing they could make the same amount of money as Hayne
Its not Jarryd Hayne's fault people have to slave away for hours on minmum wage,why don't they become a rugby league player if they want the same money as Hayne? is it Hayne's fault there not good enough to become a professional rugby league player like him? is it Haynes fault they can't find a better job? is it Haynes fault that parents decided to have 7 kids and now can't afford anything? is it Haynes fault people are too dumb to go to uni therefore they have to slave 50 hours a week on a forklift? is it Haynes fault you're too dumb and have to work at Blockbuster? is it Haynes fault you dropped out of school in year 10 because you're a tard? is it Haynes fault that you're on Centrelink?
LOL @ people who complain that Hayne earns alot of money because there too dumb and slave away for 40k a year,get a better job you losers or stop complaining about how much other people earn.
As smirk as that is, its right. A bit harsh, but right. Angry, but right.
I could see how people wont be likened to that. I wrote a post today about people being LAZY, AMBITIOUS, and SELFISH. Or dickheads.
They want it all but are too lazy to get off their arse, dedicate time and effort to make it. And then they resent Porche driving types and think he was "lucky" and things of that nature.
This is all human nature, and its not wrong. BUt it is contradictory, perhaps because the three atributes I mentioned developed separately for varying reasons. Evolution is chaos.
But thats people for you. And in this thread we see it again : dickheads by the dozen, sense from only a few. Maybe they thought it out.
By the same regard
Is it the ARL's fault that Haynes family are broke arse nobodies from the boondocks?
Is it the ARL's responsibility to look after said societal leeches and Hayne hangers on?
Is it the NRL's fault that Hayne has no future outside sport?
I doubt he is a leacher, or his family are broke. I know you are sad about it....bet you'd like a freebie....but guess what, you dont freaking work at a footy club, and your're not on the team so you would not know what its like. I think a conservative amount would be 10 free tickets. Big deal. Life is full of perks. If you are someone in relation to where you are at in life.

NRL, give them more money, give them more free tickets. Rep payments are a good place to start.
You know at the end of the day people, players only get a small amount of what the game earns. Other sports make 5-10% more maybe, some american sports much much higher.
The NRL is badly run, people are disgruntled, and yet you all think these guys are being greedy. They are not. They are saying they want their share - and they deserve it. Not foxtel or News ltd, or News CORP.....the players deserve it, they play the game, they make the wheel turn.
There are few more deserving than them in RL
We should be aiming to offer as much, if not more than other rival codes. They are in a situation where their earnings have been artificially limited, and its only natural to want to be paid more. I think the hidden message is these guys want to stay with RL, and they are finding it hard to accept they dont get more of the pie and other sports are run better. Its no secret, and the games is one fumble after another atm.
You clowns dont understand a thing about elite sportspeople. Or people who are among the best at what they do. Not everyone can do that, and with the rareity of these skills comes a high expectation of reward. The rareity = high value = big earnings. Elite people think differently to burger flippers or factory workers. They are dedicated and good at what they do, often brilliant. To feel as tho they are getting less for that kind of thing is a big kick in the teeth. Few sports people get to this level and play for just the love when they can earn money. Sure people do play sport for the love of it, but when you get into money, no one is going to accept the lesser of two offers unless its for a very good reason, and love, guys (sorry girls) is a logical incarnation of the attributes of attraction that are as primeval and as old as our species.....which basically means, love is WAY down the order of priorities....
Yeah, so anyway, you guys need to get a clue. Pay them more, and make no excuses. ffs, elite sports people are laughing at you lot right now, and rather bemused. Ever ask a Bank boss to take 60k a year??? He'd tell you to f off. Elite-high rewards in a market. And human nature demands that. I dont blame Hayne at all
