Message: [QUOTE="guppy, post: 2224377, member: 1807"] What is "excessive" though? Given the salaries paid to elite players in other sports, I think Rugby League players are severely underpaid. I don't care what anyone says. Loyalty can only go so far. I know I could earn more working for someone else right now, but I'm happy where I am and with what I am doing so I don't feel the need to jeopardise it by leaving all for a few extra bucks. I'm an extremely loyal person, but if someone came along and offered me double or triple what I earn now I'd most likely take it. That doesn't mean I don't work my arse off and put my heart into what I do. I just like to be rewarded for it. It's all about market value. Everyone wants to earn as much as possible in their field of work. In fact, most "loyal" people are taken advantage of by their employers. When it comes to discussions around pay-rises/bonuses, those who are valuable to the company/team but are under threat of leaving will always receive more money than the quiet, loyal types. I don't blame those who chase big money elsewhere, but I respect those that show a certain amount of loyalty more. People don't, and shouldn't work for "cans of coke" anymore. And it is just that; work. Why is there such scrutiny on what each player earns? If there wasn't this apparent transparency around salaries and constant discussion around who gets paid what, would we be having this discussion? I guess I have a very different view than most on what "greed" is. [/QUOTE]
