Should NRL players be rewarded for rep games?

Question

Should NRL players be rewarded for playing test matches for their country, state of origin for their state, city vs country...

eg. players be rewarded $20,000 for playing a test match or series for Australia.

And will this keep players in Australia?

Answer 1

players do get rewarded for playing rep footy

i think its something like $12 000 an origin game plus a bonus for a seris win.

i might be wrong though on the amounts but yeah they do get rewarded.

Answer 2

They already get that lol

It's about $10,000-$12,000 a game i think. Realistically, its not really any better than what they already get a week, most players will get that amount from one NRL game.
