Even his contract for the 53 man squad would have been shit all compared to what the Eels were paying him. But I think once you factor in the other money he is earning over there he wouldn't be losing much/any from what he would be earning in the NRL.
Unless his endorsements were conditional on him being in the 53man squad.
I don't know for sure but surely people won't be paying a great deal for the endorsement of someone on a practice squad.
Fair play to him for giving it a go but I hope he is looking at it realistically and that people around him are advising him well. Its a short career these guys get and its a shame to waste it if your unlikely to make the grade no matter how noble it is to chase a dream.
