Fitzy said:Parramatta chief executive Denis Fitzgerald, tongue firmly in cheek, agreed with the Roosters' idea.
"I read it was a $200,000 concession - it should be $500,000," Fitzgerald said.
"Living in the eastern suburbs means they have obligations.
"They have to spend more on hairdressers, pedicures and manicures.
"Clothes. We wear Lowes out west. They all get around in Trent Nathan.
"Restaurants. The first course at Otto equals a dinner for six at Parramatta Leagues Brassiere. Schooners out here are $2.50 compared to $7 at The Establishment.
"And the BMWs they drive demand premium petrol rather than the standard petrol for Commodores.
"All these costs mount up.
"I support the Roosters push for a substantial salary cap increase but only for the Roosters under these unique circumstances."
