A Betoota Heights man has today revealed his disappointment about the NRL’s dispute with the playing group.
The accountant from our town’s pebblecrete capital explained that he can’t believe these entitled brats are demanding $50 billion from the NRL.
“Mate, I’d play in the NRL for free,” said the bloke who tweaked his hamstring and worked from home for the week after taking a straight line hit up and dump in touch footy.
“I just don’t understand why these guys are being so selfish,” continued the rapidly ageing man who only consumes FoxSports media.
“Sure, we all want a pay day, but that’s not how life works.”
His comments come as the playing group’s media boycott enters its second week, with presenters and journalists having to fill space without being able to speak to the players.
Understandably, the media has sought to pretend that the players are deliberately ignoring fans in order to get a bumper pay day.
However, the playing group have tried to come out to explain that they aren’t trying to hurt fans, but have simply given up trying to simply ask the NRL to look after them.
The debate centres around a raft of issues, including demanding NRL consultation when just adding more games to the playing seasons, introducing medical hardship and injury funds, a pay rise to ensure that men currently on 120,000 and women on 34,000 are better remunerated for putting their careers on hold and their bodies through the ringer.
“Mate, I don’t know about you, but I’d love to get a million bucks a year,” explained the brainwashed viewer, seemingly unaware that the average career in the NRL is 43 first grade games and only a handful of players are actually on that type of coin.
More to come.
