… in the past players made their decisions based on what was best for the team … today players make their decisions based on what is best for their family!

Yep, nailed it.
Just a side note and to steal some Seibs speak, it was pleasing to see Tent standing in the background of the promo shot with a big smile and training gear on. Hard to see if he's strapping free but hopefully it's a good sign that we might in fact, see him back before the end of the year.

I’d assume that would include the recently advertised “1 game membership” and “3 game membership”
I bought 3 tickets to the Dolphins game and to ensure we got the tickets,I purchased the 3 of the “1 game membership” ones.You also get a bumper sticker and air freshener with this ticket/membership,but it cost extra to a regular ticket,although my car will look and smell great

Your resident two-headed Queenslander
I bought a DCE air freshener from a servo earlier this year, it now smells like 💩
Bloody hell Penn will think he has found the formulab for sucsess
Max Krilich waited several years and over 100 reserve grade games.
Check out some video of games from 20-30 years ago and spot the difference? First one you might notice is the exponential increase in the number of players of Islander origin.
Many of whose families have come to Australia for an opportunity to make a living beyond what opportunities they had in their home nations. For many of these people (according to a doco I once saw, anyway!)(!) their values are Family Faith and Footy (I forget in what order)
So yeah I reckon you're probably right. Young players now would feel responsible for getting the best possible deal, because it is to help their whole family, and a successful NRL player in the family might be their best chance to get ahead in life.
That’s actually a very very good point
MfB this is a story across every corperate and government workplace these days. No wonder society has thrown up the current crop of leaders....
new accountant perhaps
Mmm yes I’m aware of how hard it is to keep anyone these days , thank goodness I’m past that now .

And you played it because you loved it.
One of my pet hates is this generation of sports people which includes those who bag and or say they hate the game they play.🤷
