I think its awful him selling his gear like this. I would have loved to have been good enough to have a professional career playing Rugby league and winning medals

I would be keeping them for memories sake and then passing them onto kids and grandkids

It'll go a LOT higher than that I should think. Can't recall what his World Cup token-thingy went for but it was into 4 figures iirc.

It's his choice at the end of the day, but surely he could donate some of the proceeds to charity or something? He's a well paid player at the end of the day, he doesn't really need the cash.

In a nut-shell. He gave his last medal's money to charity after pretty much being shamed into doing it. If he wanted to make money for charity, he should have put it in the auction and it would more than likely have gained more money.

He's just greedy.

He's well paid but it's not as if he's a millionaire, if he wants to make some extra cash then good luck to him I say.

He appears to be selling all sorts, even the kitchen sink!

And because he's a professional sportsman, this makes him different from any 'normal' person flogging stuff on there just because it's the results of his labour?
