Let's say you are the HEAD CHEF in a restaurant that has closed it's doors.

Should you get 50% of your wage?

So many people have 'lost' their jobs, and are getting paid NIL/ZERO/NOTHING

so what makes footballers/any sports players, more important?

Many casual workers, an integral part of our workforce,

won't even be able to get c/link payments.

Many are on $300 thou plus a year, and if they haven't saved a $100 thou. or so

for a rainy day, many of whom have been playing for years,

maybe part of their training should be "financial planning"?

"They still want 50% of their wage, even though their employer is getting NO INCOME."

That's not true. The game receives broadcasting money and both games are DESPERATE to fulfil their TV obligations. The vast majority of the NRL's income comes from broadcasting rights and the NRL (and probably the AFL) are desperate to fulfil their obligations to receive this substantial part of their revenue.
