Good luck fight hard the majority of fans are on your side, because we all getting firsted by the company profits first mentality be good to see the employees get a win for once
Lol employees are paid for their time. If you don’t like it either start your own business or go find another job. Simple as that. Employees do not run the business. They’re just cog in the system. Without the business they work for they have no money and no means to provide in their life. People like you will forever be a bitter whining employee. These dudes getting an average of $401k in the new CBA and they’re talking about not being paid overtime 😂 bro. It’s a joke.
Fight for your rights fans dont care if we miss a few interviews. Well spoken Connor
Connor Watson has explained the problems pretty succinctly and I would like to ask,
“If the players welfare was at the forefront, would a South African with no idea of what players go through to play Rugby League to entertain us every week, have ant fkn idea?”
Starting to love the recurring theme of GI over sharing what’s been going on in his life hahaha the GOAT player and podcaster
Backing the players all the way. Doesn't bother me at all about the ban but it does bother me that the players are being taken advantage of. Hang in there RPLA.
First time I have heard the players perspective. Been media bashing the RLPA to date. Cheers for the insights and examples. I support the players
Trying to make it sound like it’s all Clint newton the 360 mob I get the journos they’re idiots Tallis should be ashamed of himself an I think players should boycott talking to him ever again
I'm a rugby league fan and I stand with the players. No players, no game, no fans, no NRL. So to the NRL, do what's right and fair
Money talks, if any players stuck behind the current NRL group were given a contract, games will go on. Fan's back clubs, not individual players.
Brilliant job Connor! Well done mate
Love hearing GI speak, a very smart man
Make the debate between Abdo & Newton happen. Highest Ratings EVER.
Vlandys is already miles ahead
I like the explaination of the extra games without consultation.. i didnt think of it that way
An that if the nrl makes a profit 4/5 years the players have to cover the year the nrl ran at a loss that’s insanity
Rugby league, working class game made by and for working class people. Workers should always stand together against corporate robbery and crap conditions.
100% behind the players, good to see the men and women united and standing strong. The BS coming out of the mainstream media is pure self interest and propaganda.
Would be nice if this trickled down to the working class across the globe. We are in a state where massive global corporations are paying the bare minimum to the workers, I think we all need a better deal.
@@nash3timemvp my hope is that the younger generations get inspired by the players and realise it's something all workers can do if they unite. We're going back to the old tale of fat nobles and starving peasants, year by year.
At the beginning it was stated by the RLPA that money was not an issue however, since then more disclosure has shown it is more about players receiving a share of revenue, retirement funds and ongoing insurance post playing career. This will surely be blatantly watering down the NRL future.
I stand with the players.The media doing the bidding for the nrl where the hell are the real journalists getting to the bottom of this instead of taking 1 side.
The broadcasters are the only way to truly get the NRL’s attention in quick fashion. Sticking tape over the logo on your jersey doesn’t lose the NRL money and at the end of the day it’s the money that talks for the NRL.
I'm sorry...but Connor Watson opened the converation with 'its not about money, thats all agreed' ....and then outlined the dispute issues and its all about money.
Abdo and vlandys are just cooperate heads typical of what u see in hr. Hr is only there for the companies protection they dont care about the players. Its what hr do they claim they care when there goal is money and whenever u hear we gave them a good deal never believe it or at least research. Theres more there not telling us .Love and miss ya conor from newy mate
How does RLPA audit the NRL books, come some please explain this?
Nrl will definitely notice a year of non profit but is blind to the extra $28 million they say they didn’t know they had owed to players😂
An the fact the players are expected to cover the loss is insane
"Some blokes are having to go out and get a job to be able to afford to live in Sydney" I can't imagine these poor fellas having to get a paying job while they chase their dreams. It's disgusting that fringe players don't go straight on to a 6 figure salary! Are these pricks serious? Just because something is your dream and there is a potential to earn big money doesn't mean you should be compensated for trying to realise your dream. Welcome to the real world where you don't get everything on a platter!
Nrl is a multi billion dollar sport...ohhh the players want a 100k minimum wage-wow so greedy.
Are you serious bra?
The players are playing a modern day gladiator sport-durr kind of hard...ofcourse they shouldnt have to take a 2nd job.
What hard week at the office or something-photocopier breakdown again aye..pfft
i dont think u realise how hard it is to train at the top level everyday at red line pace, try to recover, try squeeze in gym sessions and work 10 hour days as a labourer and then kick arse on sat, and on top of this u have to try and compete with the full time contract players, ther is a shitload that goes on in a fringe players life,
This is such a stupid comment you embarrass your grandparents
IDGAF about pre or post game interviews! I was more happy the tigers put in for 43minutes last night😂! Abdo gotta meet half way before it gets worse and let’s move on! The white wash is still all go💯🔥! #UPTHEBLUES!
Fans don’t care about the media ban we still get to watch games and if they went on strike I still think majority of fans would back the players. NRL needs to sort this crap out looks worse on them then it does the players.
One of those guys that thinks a pro nrl player just simply rocks up in the weekend and plays a game, uv forgotten that its gym twice a day, training every day , recoveries, and endless criticisim. If it was so easy all of us wud do it
“When do we ever focus on the footy?” 😂😂.
Disappointing to see James be such a stooge for the broadcasters now. Hurting the broadcasters does hurt the NRL because they're the ones who will exert pressure on head office.
You have to consider the feelings of the broadcaster. Sure, without players there is no game. But without the broadcasters all of these guys are playing semi-pro.
Stooge? Your kidding. He just gets it. I’m on the players side and don’t give a rats if there is no media with players. But James is right. The broadcasters pay millions for this and are now not getting what they pay for. The pressure from broadcasters now towards the nrl will be high
If the players don't front for media events and interviews in their club gear, that effects the club more than the NRL. As the sponsors are not getting that tike infront of the cameras they are paying for, they are not paying to be seen on players as individuals. They could go back to that form of income, as thats what players did for a few decades.
If we're talking about revenue, then how would the women's league survive?
International league has to grow, weather it's pacific teams ,png, nz...
Women are on $1500 a week minimum wage...thanks Mens game..
NRL are clearly trying to screw the players over
What massive corporation isn't
Good on the players, nrl is a business they do not give a 💩 about the player n fans
I wonder what the competition would look like if the game did pay players based on revenue alone. As not every club has high turnouts for games. Dont pay them from revenue made at the physical club either.
Funny how the NRL is quiet… fans should front with signs supporting the players at the origin and this weekend games. Imagine it, likely be edited out of broadcasts lol
9:20 I think 95% of the players Ricky spoke to claim they have no idea what it’s about. 🙄
Listening to this makes the 360 mob look like bigger idiots than they already did. I haven’t heard or read a single comment from anyone saying they care they’re not hearing from the players.
Your getting paid to play, with your contract money your manager agreed to.
So if you make the semi finals aren’t you playing extra games.
Also is connor allowed to be talking to u guys haha??????
must not be unionised
Maybe he is allowed to because he is talking about the issue causing the media boycott and not footy in general
I thought only day game interview ban
The players didn't cover the loss tho? I've gone and back and looked at all the articles the players got played less because the comp was forced to have less games that completely goes against his analogy of doing more hours for less money because less games is the reason they had less games
I think it does they paid less for less games but they don't want to pay them more for more games
@@ballchinian911 they are getting paid more the deal on the table is the biggest yet
@@CJH94 Inflation mate, and the game is making more money than ever
@@CJH94of course players are getting paid more, inflation means every player gets paid more, a truck driver makes more now than they did 5 years ago, but that does not mean the nrl can spring more games on u just because we are expanding, yet pay the same amount as before expantion
Uhhhhm wtf are you cunts even on about. Inflation has nothing to do with what I said lmao they got paid less than the year previous because they played less games. Has nothing to do with inflation lmfao and their already getting far more money with this new deal.
PVL is one dodgy MF .he thrives on making as much money as possible for who ever he works for ,even at the costs of players,he doesnt F around .hats off to players ,im a fan and im behind the players who are showing somw back bone.this type of thing happens all the time in the NBA and NBL .
New CBA gets them an average of $401k per player. Yet Connor whinging about not being paid overtime and referencing someone getting OT for a 43hr week. For one that’s hilarious. And for two it’s called a contract champ. Thousands of people do contract work and no we do not get paid overtime ya peanut 😂 and the train and trial is a decent wage for a lot of people. Plenty of people on less then $1200 a week. Welcome to reality mate. If they’re good enough they’ll make the Squad and take part in that $401k average wage. If they aren’t good enough then off you go.
If the players are scared of a few headknocks...dont play the game...simple..go play marbles
What a disaster if the players want control of the money....deadset joke....
Cover the badge who the fuck would notice. Haha
Wow..1/2 the players play only 12 games a year, most dont play 80mins...with an ave salary of $400K - @ $16K per game, $16k for 40mins work a week......wow...who cares if you have to play extra games, what about those that play finals?...instead of gambling drinking and strippers..try saving some for your health and future, get an education or trade......the fans are paying through the roof for tickets and food and drinks at a game are obscene,...gone are the days when you can afford to go to the footy every week
If the players were not so money hungry and greedy, how about they all take a paycut so more fans can go to games and have a beer and a pie...get some bums on seats.....but hey...its all about the money...bottom line
Idiot it's up to the nrl to do that
The point here is Clint Newton should have addressed many of these issues in detail at the initial press conference. Because that's the once chance you have of controlling the narrative. Instead he left everyone feeling baffled by grievances which were long on vague generalities and short on specifics. The average punter isn't going to be tuning into this broadcast. But he would have seen the initial press conference. Completely botched. NRL headquarters must be laughing their heads off watching the players blow off their own feet.
Soap opera, no peoples livelihoods and family life
Spoken well
