Exactly!! It is just a cop out or seeing if the club is prepared to up the ante and get a better deal.Very true Dave, I dont know how any NRL player these days can expect to be at the one club all of his career. Very few and far between. As I said before this nonsense of travel and moving your family around, should be expected. Getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year should be more than enough compensation. I dont seem to recall Melbourne ever mentioning that players dont want to go there, whats it going to be like in PNG !!!
What about all of the journeymen that have come and gone from the club? They are more or less drifters but still love the game and would be prepared to forego lots of things just to play and of course get a few more dollars to live on. Families go with the players wherever they might end up - even overseas for a few years.
No, it is a poor excuse saying that the Gong is too far. Eff off.
