it Is Illegal In other sports, but the players don't challenge it because they value the game and are not as selfish.
seriously does anyone believe Fafita when he says "I didn't have any option than to go" what load of ****, $600k for 4 years would set me up for life
not when you want a ferrari, a benz, a denali and a hummer.
I saw a doco on retired NBA and NFL players last year, about how over 60% of them are bankrupt within 5-6 years of being retired. Why? Because instead of being wise when they had the income, they board some sick chains for their necks and their cousins necks and their mates necks. They bought exotic car after exotic car. That theatre room you'd never use? Yep, useless.
Then once the money stops they still have the massive mortgage, because rather than use the money and actually buy a portfolio of properties, they would go all out on a multi million dollar home that they need to pay off, so they have other money left for the bling.
Then 1 day they lose it all.
Fair enough Fifita is probably looking at 600k extra for signing with the Dogs.
What i dont believe is the figure. The Sharks tabled their offer on Friday of 700k (or there abouts) The bulldogs countered on Saturday which is meant to be the offer he signed or will sign, which is 850,000……..why would the dogs counter 150,000 a season higher than us…….that just wouldnt happen
