How are they going to cope on such a small amount of money?

Nothing wrong with $27 an hour driving a truck... so long as he doesn't have any great expenses from when he was on bigger coin... just needs to kick the substances and gambling and become a proper human

Can someone explain to me how a guy who made over $2m from playing league is now living in a council house with his parents?

Don’t these players get educated on how to manage their finances?

What a disgraceful thread this is.
Does it make you sick to your stomach?

He doesn't deserve a single second of sympathy. I think it's now fair to say his Missus doesn't either now. How many more incidents like this do we need to see before she finally realises her children are at danger with him around?

Obviously not. Most of them are meatheads anyway.

Well my uneducated guess is, Bad decision after bad decision from start to finish, didn’t get proper financial advice and it was all to overwhelming and went to his head. Don’t quote me though lol..!!(something along those lines) deff wasn’t smart with money or most choices made.

How these guys don’t own a house or have assets is mind boggling, on the money they are on.. maybe that’s where the nrl fails, I’d have the perfect program . Bringing in a old

And saying something like this is what I earned over these years and this is what you earn in one, do the math and realise how lucky you are.
