    ARLC Commission Changes

    No, her skill set is not the same as Sutcliffe or Samuel, which is what the commission needs to replace.

    ARLC Commission Changes

    I mentioned that clause somewhere in this thread months ago, she may be appointed now, but with a view to fulfill the same attributes as Sarra when he leaves the commission. She isn't a replacement for Samuel or Sutcliffe on that basis.

    ARLC Commission Changes

    I think she is more likely a replacement for Chris Sarra, than to fill the current vacancies. Sarra was apparently not seeking re-election next year as well.

    Player strike

    A few weeks ago players sulked that the NRL misrepresented their proposal, yet yesterday they rightly conceded including leagues club grants, contra and digital in pooled revenue, something the NRL objected to as unreasonable. Today we have them sulking that the NRL leaked that they walked out...

    Player strike

    yes, but it's capped at $13m, which is why clubs without leagues club backing are fighting for a lower salary cap, otherwise as soon as the cap exceeds $10m that additional 30% starts to fall.

    Player strike

    no it doesn't, the revised MoU guarantees clubs $13m annually, regardless of what the cap ends up. Which means the higher the cap, the lower the funds available to clubs to invest in the business and become financially sustainable. A 29%, not 28%, share of total game revenue would mean that of...

    nrl don't have the power, maybe if they were "genuine partners"? somehow i doubt it.

    Player strike

    like I said, for the most part, players have given prendergast & their agents free reign and wouldn't know much about their own unions proposal; http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-and-rlpa-agree-on-new-contracting-system-but-war-continues-20170705-gx5a0m.html

    even a forensic audit wont account for brown paper bags in car parks, the smart clubs dont touch the money.

    Manly Salary Cap

    meh they are allegations made by witnesses compelled to answer questions in confidential interviews, which are not illegal and cannot be passed on to the NRL to investigate or sanction. It's like admitting to cheating on your wife after being compelled to answer where you were, knowing your...

    i don't doubt it's genuine, but it's not going to come to anything.

    Manly Salary Cap

    which is neither illegal or anything they can release to the public or the NRL. Do the same investigation of any club in the country and compel witness testimony and you will get the same allegations.

    Manly Salary Cap

    The article doesn't really say anything! The whole thing is full of unnamed sources who weren't supposed to disclose confidential interviews and whose disclosures are prohibited to be shared with the NRL. Hence nothing will ever actually be substantiated, or sanctioned. The most interesting...

    Player strike

    fair enough, I do appreciate your point, I just don't think it's necessarily applicable to the way the RLPA operates, it's a very unique workplace.

    Player strike

    We are talking about rugby league players here, they are accustomed to their agents wiping their bums for them, they don't like to get drawn into details. The players role in negotiations extends to regurgitating soundbites for a proposal authored by prendergast and heavily influenced by player...
