NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 73 - Let's go Dark Knight!

25% of salary seems steep.

Imagine this applied to top NRL players, a $250k fine.

Not sure that it would stand up in employment court.

I can't think of any other industry where for doing the wrong thing they don't pay you 25% of your contracted salary.

Is it actually a 25% of a salary fine, or a fine that represents 25% of her salary. If it’s the later, then I don’t care. If it’s the first. That’s stupid. Fines should be flat, and not proportional to anything other than the offense itself.

The fine is 'suspended', shes not actually being docked the pay.

(Yes I still think its ridiculous to begin with)

From what I read it was phrased as a fine equivalent to 25%of her salary I.e not based upon her salary.

So to some degree it's journalistic spin - however another way of looking at it is that a similar value fine would have a less proportionate impact to the more highly paid male counterparts.
It's a suspended fine though, so maybe more added as a incentive to tow the line...

I saw him on an episode of meat eater on Netflix. Shit country singer.

Its all suspended. Put your personal feelings aside and behave on social media as if you’re a public figure. I can’t wait for the Vlandys era to end but it’s just not that hard to control yourself from saying something that you know will be controversial

I know this guy. NFI about Luke Coombs

FYI, I received notification this evening that I can expect the NRL voucher for winning the Cowboys league which I'm rather proud of. I'm even more excited about a prelim semi-final though!

Trying to justify listening to crap country music by claiming to watch Meat Eater. So Krump

but Luke Covell always seemed so nice.

My ex Mrs used to scream his name when she was riding the Revexpress, got us both over the line on many occasions.

That's some of that lowball Facebook style comedy, apologies to the elite amongst us, but this post remains.

Hold the fine?

Unfortunately Rev, we just awarded post of the year and nobody will remember this come September 2023

I didn't know much about Lachlan Coote either, but after a bit of googling I found out he is so popular that apparently it was a big mistake selling tickets to see him at the same time as AFL/NRL finals

I couldn't tell you a single thing about him (other than being an ex cowboy)

Country music is a break in the fabric of the universe. I've never knowingly met a person that actively listens to it, at least not until a country artist inexplicable breaks into mainstream music realm. And yet there are fellas like this Luke guy out there making big money from a fanbase that simultaneously does not exist yet does exist. It's a mystery. Had anyone even heard of Keith Urban before he married Nicole? Nope. Name one Troy Cassar-Daly song! Impossible to do.
