Protected spoilt prima donnas.
Seriously, what is wrong with disclosing what a job salary is. My missus just applied for a job that advertised not only the base salary but all the perks like company car and free uniforms, travel allowance and penalty rates and term of contract. Why is this an issue.
Keeping players contract info secret just encourages breaches to the cap.

Watching Broncos v Cowboys, Bateman was hardly sighted until his dumb blindside run where he dropped the ball over the sideline.

He started off ok but pretty quickly settled into ordinariness..he's a shadow of the player at the Raiders. My guess is after settling into reserve grade he'll be asking for a release...doubt very much he'll be seeing out even half of his contract up there

It's worse than this. He missed two tackles that were terrible. I wouldn't be surprised to see him dropped after that effort. He looks to be considerably worse than when he was with us.

Stef to me also hasn't looked great. He hasn't been woeful like Bateman though. It's just that May is a lot better.

I thought Papalli might be great for Penrith but I also haven't really noticed him.

We lost 3 big names and we seem to have improved our performances a lot.

Stef was always talking up how his game would improve in Melbourne under Bellamy, like it was some automatic thing involving a bit of fairy dust.

The reason players are so successful down there is hard work, effective systems, and keeping things focused such as the know your role, do your job mantra.

Stef hasn't been sighted during his 2 games. I wonder whether he's done the hard yards or just expects things to happen for him.
