Imagine being a reasonable first 18 walk up start Gold Coast player...
Get paid ~$700K+, be virtually anonymous down at Surfers Paradise etc whenever you want, have almost 0 scrutiny win/lose/draw from supporters or the local media, kick back on the beach in warm weather most of the year...
No wonder professional sporting teams there go through the motions...
Honestly... Willy Wonka would even be jealous of that level of Gold Pass...
Yep.
even someone like Rory Atkins must be loving it, 5 years, 500k, only having to play magoos, he really must pinch himself.
