This is exactly where my head is at - he’s making a big deal out of relatively minor things, to bolster his credentials as a Unionist.
Overall, the players have got a fantastic deal, the best ever for NRL players, by a long shot, and far better than any ‘normal’ job, with very little risk to their employment - they’re certainly not being exploited or being hard done to, yet here we are. The tone and language used by Newton and the RLPA would suggest the NRL are trying to lowball and exploit vulnerable workers - it’s ridiculous.
