Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3118642, member: 8770"] I think to a point, players do need to suck it up, but its a bit of a different situation to the health care workers. My wife, who is a nurse, gets to come home to her own family and home every day. There is a very good chance that the players from Brisbane, Melbourne, Warriors, Titans and the Cowboys could well be away from their families for 3 months or more, so they wont get to go home on a daily basis. Thats a lot to ask of people. Also, health workers are crucial and needed to get the country through this situation, footballers arent. Tbf to Cam Smith, i dont think its about the money. His comments were more around how mentally being locked down away from family could have a big impact on some players. I'm sure if players from Melbourne or Brisbane could just train where they are then fly in for the game it would be less of an issue. The whole thing though doesnt sit well with me. Its being pushed on getting the NRL out of a financial mess rather than getting it going again for the good of the game, the fans or the players. [/QUOTE]
