Let them all go the greedy fucks
I wouldn't call them greedy, far from it. A perfect example is State of Origin. It's said that the NRL makes a minimum of one hundred million dollars for the 3 game series, it could be more than that. Yet the players that put their bodies on the line only pocket $30,000 each per game. That equals $30,000 × 36 players x 3 games = $3,240,000. This leaves a minimum amount of $97,760,000 (or more) to the NRL. So a minimum of 97.76% of the State of Origin revenue goes elsewhere. Greedy is not something I would consider any NRL player.
Well this is a different story from what I'm talking about.
The games greed is another matter but to say these mercenaries looking for a payday aren't greedy is being wildly generous.
Facts are, the NRL's payments to players limited via the salary cap, is one of the lowest percentage of governor body revenue of all professional sporting organisations in the world. Most professional leagues throughout the world invest 50% and above to their players, without considering the huge difference between the total revenue generated from State of Origin, NRL players get 40% or below of NRL generated revenue. Considering what these players put their bodies through for 10 months of the year, to say they are overpaid or greedy is unfair.
Not only should the players earn more money, why do the NRL even award the minor premiership? The club that outperforms all other clubs throughout the 27 rounds of the competition get a prize of $100,000. If the minor premiership winning club was to divide this prize amongst their 30 man roster and coaching staff each person would possibly get about $2000 each. In comparison, the AFL minor premiership winning clubs prize is 10 times the NRL's, $1,000,000.
