I think that money is always an important consideration in any job or decision, but it can't be the only one. I agree that players need to look after themselves and their career is short, which is why I subscribe to the idea you need to cultivate a good image in the game while you can (whilst still making good coin).
That is why people like Beaver are such marketable commodities. He is revered by us, but also he is highly regarded and respected in Rugby League circles.
DCE comes across as an intelligent young man who knows the value of his public image. I hope he see a $1.2m offer from the Broncos (or whoever) as not as enticing as a $900k (or thereabouts) offer from us. Firstly winning more comps only enhances his stake with QLD, Australia and his status in the game and secondly showing loyalty to a club that picked him up when others dumped him, can only increase his marketability.
