Hi I’m Willy Mason, I’m a professional rugby league player and I don’t think me and my friends are getting paid enough. Not only do we have to get paid to do what we have a love and passion for, but we also have to do all this television and other stuff that makes us famous. Wah wah wah.

I gotta wear all these fancy pin-striped suits that I have to buy with my own money, unless the sponsor actually helps us out and that. Don’t they know I have A.D.D. I need lots of attention. Wah wah wah.

Why are people who work long hours angry? Did you know tradies are basically running the country (they wish). They get to work a career for 20-40 years. They forget me and my footy friends only get to work for about 10 years. I have to get paid a lot. Coz I’m not gonna work after my football career is over.

I wish I played footy in the old days when you had to work and not train so hard, or for six days a week. It’s tough for footballers these days. Did you know back in the eighties we didn’t get suspended for fighting on the field as much and doing head highs tackkles and stuff. Bring back the ol’ days.

The life insurance and times of a modern day rugby league player seem to be getting to big Willy Mason. Willy isn’t happy getting three hundred thousand dollars a year he wants more. In his appearance on The Footy Show recently he told us about his struggles and how his pleas were all about raising the minimum wage for league players. They only get a healthy fifty five thousand a year. Thats more than I’ve ever earned in a year and whats more when they do something good at work they get cheers and applause. I hope next time I arrive on time for my courier job I can have people cheer and worship me. Somehow I don’t think it will happen.

WIlly says fringe first graders dont get the minimum and we should feel sorry for them. Well they don’t always train like first graders but they get the bonus of playing first grade when they get a call up.
