Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 2878268, member: 8275"] No me either, but the point of declaring bankruptcy in his case, is to legally avoid perpetually paying off an impossibly large debt. So unless he gets a reasonably large salary, he won't be paying it off more than likely in this lifetime... He surely was acutely aware of this when he sat down with Badel, (I think it was?) and outlined his plan of quitting NRL, declaring bankruptcy and working as a labourer with some mates for cash in the hand... However now that he is apparently having a rethink, something has obviously changed and the only things I can think of that can possibly resolve this situation and see him remain in the NRL, are the amount of money he will be paid if he stays in the NRL, OR some sort of settlement has been negotiated significantly lowering the damages bill he faces... Remember we are talking about a bloke who couldn't even afford the lawyers to represent him at the civil trial and possibly at least get the damages bill significantly reduced, so he didn't even contest it. A $1.6m debt probably doesn't look quite so daunting if you are on $400k plus a year and if you can prove you're worth it, will be for maybe 10+ years? [/QUOTE]
