Just to back up the my argument about disagreeing that higher paying players are better...
We have two players here:
Player 1 -

You can see that player 1 is obviously paid more. He has 20 passing which makes him the better passer out of the two. However, is he the better defender? Is he the better shooter? Is he the most versatile out the two? The answer to these questions is no.
Anyways, I'm glad that we were able to settle our little 'argument'. If you win then I'll support you as you'll be the one in charge but most importantly, its in the best interest of New Zealand.
