Message: [QUOTE="yadav, post: 2304213, member: 1990"] That's a very silly example and it doesn't make sense. You're implying that he got nothing to start with. Folau isn't on no money in the NRL. This is a better example and I think it's what you were trying to say. If someone said to you, "I'll give you an extra 500k on top of the 500k we already pay you, to watch AFL for the next 2 years and you can't watch a single game of rugby league". Personally, I'd stick with the 500k a year but that's just me.[/quote:2y9f2526] You must be kidding me right. its very easy to say that on an internet forum but if you were actually ever in a position to forfeit $600k+ in earnings in one year, im sure there would be no thinking involved whatsoever. And if you did choose to do so, you would be doing a disservice to yourself and your family. Most of these blokes who play Rugby League come from working class familys who do not have lots of money. So if they are presented with an opportunity to set up their future financially, it will be taken. People need to start getting real and understand that no person in their right mind is going to take paycuts of $500k+ to stay playing rugby league. This is real life and these blokes are not hammering their bodies for a beer and a pie at the pub after the game. [/QUOTE]
