Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3407557, member: 2021"] To look at things from a different perspective, he hasn't broken his contract at any point, he's actually given 100% every single game he's played, so I'd argue morally, employee to employer, he's done more than many NRL players who are happy to collect a pay packet and coast. The club has looked after him very well, and he's repaid that by giving his all. There's a few well justified things to bag his moral compass on, but asking for a release doesn't even register a thought on his character for mine. If he was a shit player, let's say Milford, he'd be a god for asking for a release from a big money contract. I'd actually argue what Milford did collecting a milliona year while not being interested in actually earning it, is worse, but I don't think he's a bad bloke, get that bag Milf. Ash Taylor potentially living in pain for the rest of his life, no one cares about him. Players with CTE, no real support there. Businesses never give two ***** about their employees and would happily shit on them if they could get away with it legally. As soon as they outlive their usefulness they're turfed. Clubs do it all the times with dodgy leaks to journos to put pressure on players to leave, dropping them to reserves, not letting them leave even if it would prevent them doing better elsewhere, feeding them false hope of a re-signing, life time injury? Too bad good luck out there, the list is endless. I think his manager is a turd, but that's on him for choosing him and I think he's handled it completely unprofessionally but I don't think he's a bad human because he wants out. If I had kids, and they thought NRL players were role models, that'd be a failure in parenting. There's plenty of real role models locally, sports stars shouldn't be idolised. [/QUOTE]
