Good to see the RLPA also acknowledge the agreement

The Rugby League Player’s Association is pleased to advise that it has reached in-principle agreement with the NRL on an historic collective bargaining agreement.

Many times statements have been made on the NRL website, only to have the RLPA do a counter claim on the RLPA website

Its been that way for 2 years

So to see the RLPA website actually say it, says its agreed this time

Wonder what the NRL is paying Abdo. Seems like he is the most ineffectual CEO in sport.

I'm trying to find it, but it seems like even clubs CEOs are under the impression that unless PVL is involved, nothing is getting done.

People here like to personally attack Newton, but it seems Abdo was the biggest problem all along. The moment he gets removed a deal is done

All reports say both Clint and Abdo were in that final meeting. As such you can't say it was just Abdo nor just Clint as the problems. It was noticeable that most of the praise was aimed at the RLPA Chair, Deidre Anderson and at PVL for getting the deal done. My suspiscion is they were the moderating influences on that final negotiation.

I still reckon it could’ve been resolved sooner over a Yum-Cha and few dozen Crown Lagers. Yum-Cha and Crownies make the world go round.

Deal got done because Clint got put on a leash

abdo got tired of his underhanded negotiating tactics

abdo is a star with all the money he’s brought into the game

That is it. Neither Newton or Abdo comes out of this looking good

There are literally club CEOs saying there is no point meeting with Abdo unless V'Landys is involved.

He may be a good operator, but it's clear clubs and players don't see him as having any authority.

So, PVL said that if he could get some of the players in the room, he’d have it sorted within 48 hours.
Once he’s back in the country, he’s got them round the table, and looks like it will be sorted.
Wonder if he’ll get any credit for it?
Sounds like hes caved in, just like he did to the tv execs lol
