early this year Billy Neely told gary he has signed with Onkas for $800 per match and will not leave for under double. The rumoured figure is $2200. Here are my sums and i have a reasonable source
B. Neely $2200
J. Jaques $1950
D. Ellis $1600
L. Ellis $1600
J. Hill $1750 (plus weekly airfares)
Then add Mazzone, Cooper, Hunter, Burges, Surman, James, Sansbury, Kite and Young (easy $5-10k). Then add Phil Dudley if he comes
Now if you can show a man walking around that seriously thinks Gary puts a team on the park for under $10k per week, I'll show you an idiot

Are they all former League players?
You can add Kite to that list as-well. The only junior in that list is Lyle Sansbury.
I know that most players do get paid these days (whether if just $20-$50 or some of the larger amounts that are speculated) and one of my real loves is all the speculation (which it only is) of how much money players are actually getting.
It is very ridiculous to say that one player would be getting $2200 (that’s more than most people earn in a week) to play a game of country football. I also find it hard to believe that one-man “Gary” would spend close to $200,000 per season just pay players.
I’d love to know who your source is, and how reliable they are. I think people will find that some players are not getting paid anywhere close to the rumours that are circulating.
