International RL Payment Agreement

[siv]

Saw a reference to a few interesting items

To two things
1 - NZ to get the same pay as Australia from the NRL

2 - A internatinal level CBA being proposed of international to commence

A international CBA,where I assume they'll want all the profits the RLIF makes to be dished out to the players...will kill the RLIF

yes, but where does the money from the RLIF go now? is there much to kill?

Believe it or not the RLIF does give out development grants

Oh - dangerous, I hope the RLPA don't get their hands on the RLIF money now. We are talking a $10 million dollar profit for this world cup, and although I want nations outside of the big three to be able to pay their players that money is for developing the game.

The national bodies need to get together and play tests and tournaments, sell the TV rights, sell tickets and increase their value and then they will have revenue to hand out to their players.

Should only be 29% as per NRL RLPA arrangements

No it f**king shouldn't!

RLIF money should always be for growth, development & event hosting!!

Does any global body have a CBA with players?

It will be interesting where this leads

While Oz can argue that the ARLC/NRL cough up money from its TV deal

The rest of the world does not have extra funds to pay their national teams

Its not like NZ TV pays NZRL when NZ playing

There used to be something called appearnce money or a share of the gates

Problem is TV has taken over from gates as the prime revenue

Match fee is appearance money..

Let's do some basic figuring out..

The projected profit is rumoured to be $7m...29% of that is a fraction over $2m, divide that by 336,24man squads X 14 teams...and the final figure is a little under $6000 per player

I'd rather that 29% went to the governing bodies of the teams competing,outside of the big 3...so the 2nd tier nations get a $200k+ windfall for making the RLWC..it's then upto them how they divvy it up..give the players some,spend the rest on development..for example.

In fact I like that....

A 29% CBA with 2nd tier national governing bodies competing at the RLWC

I'd wholeheartedly support that
