NRL Salary Cap/CBA -2023 - 2027

[Chief_Chujo]

I reckon if it isnt sorted by finals next step will be a boycott of the international games end of year, then could well lead to strike action pre season leading into first rounds unless they get this sht sorted out.

They will never actually strike because it kills the TV deals and then none of the players get paid.

I think the key concern here is that it seems the RLPA are claiming that the NRL and clubs' use of the information is not in line with Privacy Laws and principles.

I know in my work, we collect personal information, which does include some medical information. We have this to be able to do our role, but we don't 'own' the information - we need consent on how it's used, and we have to abide by legislation on privacy and management of records.

There is a key difference between having medical information and owning it.

If it's not in line with the law then how truthful is it? Even Zuckerberg got rekt for on selling private data. I can't imagine the ARLC think they would get away with it. Why have the goal posts suddenly moved to medical data when last week it was control of additional player funds?

Might as well just strike this year

Is Newton now in Melbourne meeting with the ACTU rather than doing his job and meeting with the NRL?

Sounds like is preparing for war rather than trying to negotiate

Meanwhile DCE on the News said he is preparing to sit with PVL to sort it out

Correct.

It is goes past a legal team before it is sent out, If anything is illegal it would get picked up

The bunch of cowards won’t strike as that hits them in the pocket. Note that all actions taken so far are to cause issue without them losing any pay - even this media ban, they’re only avoiding the media events that they’re not paid for - they’re still carrying out their ‘paid’ media appearances.
Boycotting the Dally M is the next one, again, doesn’t hit them in the pocket - they’re not sacrificing anything for the cause, pathetic.

peter is exaggerating but clearly enough is enough

the arlc hasnt budged despite their media boycotts


Most players don’t even know what the grievances are

Not like Pete to be antagonistic lol. Maybe he can take them To court, that worked well against the nswrl!

Gus Gould and Gal also said similar on 100% footy - they said over 95% of players wouldn’t have a clue what it’s about and are just following the lead of Newton and a few senior players.

Brad Arthur said Jake didn't know what it was about, Ricky used the 95% figure too.

All these guys wouldn't be lying

 

[Iamback]

So Brett Clegg was brought in by the players?

Didn't Newton on MMM say both were from the NRL?

What was funny was after going on for ages about players not knowing, the first player they actually asked said he knew
exactly what the issues were! Had to laugh. They sat there kind of stunned not knowing how to respond to him. So much for that theory.

What do you mean "suddenly moved"? It was in the same media release as the control of player funds.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Again you miss the point. Its ownership of that info. So my workplace cant share that medical info with my next workplace unless I give them permission to do so. Its legally defined and it seems the NRl is pushing for something that is outside the legal protections of the data information act.

What you're stating is true.
But in the working world and SafeCare(WorkCover), it is off the mark.
If you have been injured at work, SafeCare is involved. Then icare (insurance) is part of it.
You're work medical history is pretty much open from then onwards.
If you aren't injured at work then that part is safe from prying eyes.
Most of the players injuries would occur at 'work', so it isn't too far from what us norms have to deal with.
But by the way they have been showing their ignorance towards how the real world has to deal with issues, I'm sure they wouldn't know this.

Now the source for this is Paul Crawley, but this is what he claimed yesterday -

Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph’s Paul Crawley also revealed that V’landys had reached out to RLPA officials hoping to fast track a resolution.

The plan was to remove both NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo and RLPA chair Clint Newton from negotiations due to the bad blood between the pair.

But, that proposal was refused.

“The sad irony for the fans also, two weeks ago Peter V’landys said to the RLPA we can sort this out,” Crawley said.

“We will take Andrew Abdo out of it, you take Clint Newton out of it to get rid of the emotion.

“They said no, they want a fresh mediator and they want Clint in the room. How can you get the deal done?”

Now if the above claim is accurate, then it does not put Clint Newton in a flattering position as, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Newton say he would step aside from negotiating if it meant getting the deal done?

yes he did, in a radio interview

 

[Iamback]

On SEN, today

Newton

'The NRL can't tell the players who is going to hold the talks on their behalf'

That would confirm the Crawley article
