Message: [QUOTE="Hamm.0, post: 2121572, member: 1852"] No one is condemning players. People are condemning SBW for his dog act. The NRL is trying to find ways to pay players more, it is already in the process of steadily increasing the salary cap. Other codes have FAR more earning capacity and can therefore throw more coin at players, good luck to the players that want to pursue those codes. Of course, none of those players grow up in those codes talent schemes, those codes just reap the benefit of what the NRL provides then. It is akin to having a mining giant in a 3rd world country. Yes the company is (for lack of a better word) exploiting the natural resource to make money, however they are also training mass amounts of locals in particular skill sets. If the company leaves, the locals get....well, nothing. If the NRL folded tomorrow and all juniors, after U17's had to either, go to ESL or Union. Those codes would be shit. The NRL is the quality product, everyone knows it. That is why they target NRL players. So, I guess if you are a player (at a young age), you got to ask yourself, Ã¢â‚¬Å“do I want to earn, more money or do I want to play rep footy and challenge myself in the toughest comp in the world? Each to their own; however we all have just 1 life to achieve our dreams. Last nightÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Footy Show is a good talking point and IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m going to start a thread just for it. [/QUOTE]
