Under the CBA, all members of the Socceroos squad are paid equally as all players share equally the sacrifices and privileges associated with representing Australia.

If anyone is capable of doing it it is our squad of players.

I intend to use all the players in my squad.

We would like to thank the players for their commitment to finalising negotiations in the best interests of the Socceroos as a team and the game,

We believe we have done this in a way that not only rewards players for their achievements at the highest level of the game, but ensures all players actively contribute to FFA's efforts to establish football in Australia as a fully professional and commercially viable sport.

It was a lunch. It happened. I paid my share.
