Phil Rothfield mentioned the Bulldogs going for player names on jerseys in his column.

He brought up a tweet Phil Gould posted a few years back about iut and why Gould was against it. Gould's view apparrently was that the jersey belongs to the club, not the player, so that's why he didn't support it.

One thing to consider regarding player names on club jerseys.

If it was implemented, how long do you think it would be before the RLPA then put in a claim for a slice of the jersey revenues? If I have heard correctly, in many of the US sports which do it, players get a slice of all jersey sale revenues as it has been standard clause in respective CBAs for decades.

Nothing wrong with that if it’s based on the increase in jersey sales

I doubt it would be. As I said in the US, especially in the NBA, players get a fixed percentage of all jersey sales, not just of an "increase" in sales. The players get a flat 50% of all jersey sales. If it was introduced in the NRL, the players would want the same.

Additionally, all the money going to the players from these types of revenues in the US are evenly split between all NBA players, regardless of which has the greatest jersey sales, and those which have the least.

Depends what the nrl and players agree in the cba

Players got really well looked after last time in terms of off field stuff maybe they won’t be as greedy last time lol

What happens when you buy a jersey with your favourite players name on it, only too sign a mid year contract for a new club?
For starters - fairly rare occurence... but even then, it happens world-over in all various leagues. Not sure it's a huge concern.

Anyway back on topic - both Canterbury and Parramatta are set to reveal heritage jerseys tonight.
