Australia's best rugby league players have gathered
together this week for a common cause: bashing the
salary cap.

The lead-up to tonight's Australia-New Zealand Test
match has been dominated by talk from the game's
biggest names complaining they are not being paid
enough, with the NRL's administrators coming under fire.

The Melbourne Storm scandal and the impending
departure of Brisbane star Israel Folau to either rugby
union or the AFL has made the salary cap the main topic
of debate amongst league's big names.

Storm captain Cameron Smith – one of the players at the
centre of the Storm's salary cap breaches – wants the cap
lifted from its current mark of $4.2 million.

"I think it's a pretty sensible idea (to increase the salary cap),
" Smith says. "I think everyone that follows our game would
agree with me.

"And not only what's happened to our club this year, you look
at the guys that have left our game, it's pretty sad really. I don't
know what we have to do but we have to do something.

"It needs to be looked at and it needs to be looked at quickly."

That's the general consensus among the players – something
needs to be done quickly. Nobody exactly knows what.

Superstar Jarryd Hayne, who has signed a new deal with Parramatta
worth a reported $500,000 a season, has threatened to leave the
game in the future: "I am only 22. Who knows what will happen after my contract?

"I could be earning a couple of million somewhere else. How many
more people do we need to lose until something is done?"

Petero Civoniceva says the money going to representative
players – $6000 per international, $12,000 per State of Origin
match – is "embarrassing".

"As rep players, we're always talking about how much it costs
us with a lot of expenses taken out of our allowance," the respected
Panthers skipper said. "At the end of the series it's embarrassing
what we get, given the effort we put in."

Meanwhile Benji Marshall wants the NRL's minimum wage lifted:
"You can't expect guys to play full-time for $50,000 per year and
hardly be able to afford to live."

But ex-players, who earned far less than the current crop, aren't
happy with all this whinging.

"It all comes down to greed," the always outspoken Tommy
Raudonikis told the Daily Telegraph. "They are greedy. They
don't play for the love of it anymore."

The equally outspoken Mark Geyer agrees. "I am sick to death
of players holding the game to ransom, saying they will go on
strike or go to another code if they don't get more money," he
told the same paper.

"I think they should get more money for rep matches but I do
get disappointed when I hear leading players making idle
threats. Johnathan Thurston is doing it, Benji Marshall did it,
now Jarryd Hayne."

NRL boss David Gallop says the game simply can't afford
bigger salaries, saying more money – and a bigger cap –
will arrive with a new television rights deal in 2013.

"We hate seeing players leave the game. But it comes down
to what we can afford – that is the start and finish of it," Gallop
told News Ltd reporters.

Plans to increase payments to rep players are reliant on the
game getting more money than it currently has, while a loosening
of the salary cap would still only see the wealthier teams – such
as the News Ltd-backed Storm – be able to match the million-dollar
salaries touted in rugby and the AFL.

Australian Test skipper Darren Lockyer has joined the call for pay
rises, but admits players may have to wait until the new rights deal is done.

"I don't know whether they can get the TV rights done earlier so
that the players know that this is coming," Lockyer said.

"But right now there are players that are at risk of leaving and
Israel's one at the moment. It'd be nice if we could step in and
keep him in the game."
