Wright not wanted at cronulla

[Vlasnik]

So if he's not right for the sharks what's wrong with releasing wright to the bulldogs mid season? It's not right to make wright redundant it's just wrong.

2 Wrights can make a Jono, but 2 wrongs can not make a Wright

Battle of the heavyweights Wright VS Brown

The Crab Vs The Turtle haha

I feel sorry for him but we were probably only looking at him for the remainder of 2014 and 2015 at most. I hope he finds a club even if he only plays NSW cup. We've had some pretty iffy wingers in recent years in Goodwin, wright and brown. Great to know in 2015 we have good options and good back up.

 

[Vlasnik]

Most of us will never know how it feels to run out on the field and represent our mighty club not alone get paid for being a professional sportsman. Sorry Jono but reality is a bitch. Hope you find a new club.

Thank f*ck they didn't release him. Don't think I would have been able to handle Brown and Wright on the field at the same time.

If Cronulla glued Brown & Wright together, they'd have an average winger under one payment..

A lot of these guys have never had a real job, so wouldn't have a lot of great non-footy options to support their family.

ESL provides a good option. Pay is lower, but better than digging holes. Plus good opportunity to experience a different culture (although the north of England might not be everyone's cup of tea)...

I thought they got paid more over in the UK or is it just when the money is converted over to AUD?

wright is not the best winger going around, but in times of need he is handy enough to throw out on the field, probably spend 95% of his time in nsw cup but if he was prepared to do that then hes worth a chance

 

[Qld-Dog]

I would rather Wright than Brown tbh.

"This"!!

 

[mearsey]

I wouldnt feel too sorry for him , would have made enough coin to set himself up - and if he is indingenous he willed get looked after even more

Maybe they were pissed about the lichaa situation. I know they dropped Lichaa to the lower grades once they found out he signed with us, seems kinda childish if it was the case.

End up at the tigpies

Probably why they make them have jobs while they play holden cup so they can have some type of work experience as more then likely havent had any work besides some after school job at a retail store.

I thought ESL paid well which is why allot of nrl players go there for a last payday and that allot of the english stars decide not to come here?

The perils of being a fringe first grader right there.

Wish him all the best in heading into the real world..

It use to be a lot when the exchange rate was good. 4-5 years ago 1 pound got you over $2.50 now it's around $1.70

I'd need $4 to live over there again

According to Wikipedia, ESL salary cap is currently 1.65m pounds, which is pretty close to 3m AUD. This does not taking into account purchasing power etc, but its definitely a lot less than the NRL cap ($6.3m).
