Parramatta Eels' Nathan Cayless won't be lost to Parra

EXPECT to see Nathan Cayless in and around Parramatta on weekdays once he retires from football at the end of this season.

The Eels skipper has long been wary of life after football and has worked on a casual basis with Ray Wehbe Real Estate in Parramatta over four years.

Yet Cayless, 32, is about to show he is serious about property after he told the Advertiser he would accept a job with commercial agency Colliers International, also in Parramatta.

`Caylo’, who already has his real estate licence, said he found working in the industry interesting.

``You’re building relationships with people and talking to people,’’ he said.

``I find that pretty easy and I’m comfortable with people.

``So I’m really looking forward to that.’‘

Cayless has never held what he called a ``real job’‘, as he progressed from Parramatta Marist to full-time rugby league.

The father of three lives with his family in West Pennant Hills, but said that was the limit of his own property portfolio.

``We don’t get paid that well,’’ he said.

"In fairness to Cleary as much as I'd love to sink the boot into that Penreff scum, he did not get one quick play the ball tonight to do Cleary things. Why was the refereeing so different to game 2? There were times tonight when NSW was well on top…"

Cayless is kidding himself if he thinks that $400,000 a yr isn't alot of money.

  heh, nuh mate. He never was on $400,000 a year, It was just a beat up by the media.
  
  From what i've heard, it's not even close to that figure.

Lets say he has average $250k a yr for 12yrs thats $3million dollars. Now Fui thats alot of money.

  No doubt. I'm just letting you know that the $400,000 a year figure was inaccurate.

I used to live in Jessie Street Westmead. Perfect for any Eels fan!

Mr brother set him up in that commercial real estate role. By all accounts a very good bloke and has a big future - will probably make a lot more money after footy than he did playing it.

That's why I don't buy arguments about footballers only having a short time span in which to earn, once they build a profile they can continue to earn off that for life.

  That's true - if they use their profile to their advantage. But quite a lot of them are braindead and wouldn't have the first idea of how to reinvent themselves. Honestly, can you see a dunce like Bryce Gibbs becoming a 'corporate high-flyer' after footy?

More so for one club men than journey men.
