this is going to hurt the NRL a lot. A bit like the IPL and domestic cricket, if they pay enough the top tier players will sign up and other comps will pick up the dregs of top tier talent in the off season. It's fortunate a lot of NRL forwards dont make a good transition.
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.
The NRL are the Pigs at the Trough, not the players.....but when the revolution comes Player Agents will be the first against the wall
They just got knocked back til at least June 2026. So September 2026 start, like planned, is practically impossible. That will hurt.
Nrl looking at throwing bans onto players and agents who break contracts to leave for it to, good news for us and Lomax situation 😂 if players off contract they can go tho
The Nrl isjust talking tough...and they are full of shit
The players and agents will have none of it Eli and will tell the nrl to shove it right up their arse.
The nrl will then shove that idea right up their own arse and cry about the unfairness of it all, then tell us it doesn't matter anyway because Nrl is stronk and the bestest and most bigly ever and very very very entertaining
