Joey not a happy chappy.....

I'm sure NRL players could survive for 12 months with zero income, unless they've been blowing their money in the pokies for their entire career they should have a few pennies in the bank for a rainy day

The NRL and clubs have been pissing money up a wall for years. You'd imagine a lot of players would too.

Didn’t Cammy recently get a Waterford crystal ball !?

He needs it after Latimore kicked him in his last set.

Iam usually a very jovial person but life has dealt me some really bad cards,now my partner wants a split,since the chemo and drug changes her own personality has changed and I seem to be the one who is at fault…to tell the truth Im completely over things…

Geez Zig, that just tops off a really bad period for you and that run of cards dealt to you is a lay down misere. But hey, life often smiles on those that are good to others, so I expect karma to return a favour.

I would love to sit down with BJ and have a heart to heart in regards to suffering an income loss...
firstly BJ,my partner and I went through 16 months of breast cancer treatment..
secondly I lost my business through the devastation of the fires..
thirdly Im about to lose my job because they are going to close the business I work in...

wake up BJ and smell the roses your not in to bad a situation and if you do have a pay cut take it like a man and try to be a little compassionate to the people who pay their membership to support the club you play for as well as injecting revenue when buying merchandise and now most of us will be struggling to do that...but you have a sook at losing a bit of money,not your livley hood or your house..


I don’t know why you’re attacking BJ? If you listened you would have heard him say.. “my wife is not gonna be happy”.
He’s the ham in the sandwich mate. Ease up on the poor guy!

Im not attacking BJ in an abusive way...he really should have not commented about pay cuts and left it to Pascoe or Greenburg...If he is to be given a pay cut,he would still be getting something.keep his lively hood and house..I was more reflecting on how myself and thousands of others may not be able to survive during this time and after...
I did notice that you jumped to BJs defense and didn't care to comment on what I have had to deal with and still try to help who I can at this point in time..

While you are heading to Cairns if you need a place to stop on the way (its a bloody long drive )

You'll need to byo tp though ..we are only have 157 tp rolls left ok

Ive placed a travel ban on myself,CT will have to wait until next year for a catch up..
I would love to call in and visit you Hap,but your to busy to worry about a Mexican visiting you..
today there was NO toilet paper anywhere to be found,same as most days,however as luck has it a truck arrives at the supermarket later today and the lovely manageress is putting some tp and handtowels aside for me...good to know nice people...
I have my sense of humour Hap,its just been a very tough road for me since the breast cancer,losing the bar and grill through the fires and now losing another job because they may close up the pub..
Iam usually a very jovial person but life has dealt me some really bad cards,now my partner wants a split,since the chemo and drug changes her own personality has changed and I seem to be the one who is at fault...to tell the truth Im completely over things....

Hey Zig you know you have a lot of mates here who are willing to listen if you want to talk to us OK

Is funny, from memory the last collective bargaining agreement the players were looking at the TV contracts and the NRL income and arguing around the percentage of that they were entitled to.

When the excrement hits the fan (unexpectedly) and the NRL no longer have gate revenue or TV income, the players don't want a percentage anymore, they want their fixed rate contract that they agreed to.

The greed of these uneducated morons will kill the game.

Either that , or the experience will educate them?

BJ should just shut his damn mouth.

 

[Spartan117]

People on big money should put some aside for rainy days.

The NRL under greenburg appear to have squandered the media rights deal and have faoled to futureproof the game.

Gee imagine if he didn’t earn 600k and was already paid 200 of that.

What if he was part time, a casual or in the travel industry or in hospitality.

I’d have some sympathy for him then.

His comments unfortunately only highlight how out of touch with reality professional sports people are.You can add politicians and over paid music performers to that category also
