Really?
If you've signed a contract to be paid a certain amount you would just be happy to give up a percentage of that amount for no reason?
But there is a reason in his circumstances. He’s not able to do his job properly, anymore.

He was hurt playing NRL. He should be paid.
I think NRL need to look into if medically retired due to concussion it not counting against cap of club pays it out.
The club now pays it out but not at 100%. Not covered by insurance anymore under the new EA.

Well if your attendance was not what was expected, if you're a contractor you don't get paid if you don't show up. With the matches he has missed in recent seasons he's getting more per match now than he would normally have been getting. The merkin is in a win-win situation.... His current issues are reportedly to do with a "sore back" and nothing to do with his concussion history.... I think he's got a classic case of softus cockus....

Which is why he should medically retire but because the new EA doesn’t cover them for their entire wage he is happy to sponge off us for another season or 2.
I reckon he has sponged off us since he signed his last contract.

He aimed up for 7 weeks to get a NSW jersey and a contract extension but after that it's been a combination of niggles, sickies and suspensions.

The last bloke that needed a 4 year contract including a PO was Matto.

I have said for years Matto is a strange cat he isn't close to any of his team mates and beat to his own drum.

Its a flow on effect of the selfish culture that have rotted the joint for years.
