The only takeaway I have from the linked article is that we'll be getting end of season internationals!! Woot woot !!

This dispute over minor stuff is holding up planning for end of season internationals, expansion and work on the next tv deal

But...but....but it's not minor stuff !!! We NEED to know who the NRL is illegally selling the GPS data to

But seriously, Vlandys is on 100% Footy on Monday night, lets hope for the sake of this thread he address's the sticky pionts.

I look forward to the soft questions and skirting around the non answers he gives.

Kind of like the non answers Clint gives?

Playing it out in the media achieves nothing

they pay wages to employees, the deduction is paid by the employee from there wages.

so if the goverment garnishes your wages for not paying child support is said company paying your child support?

Bingo….

yes, the players ‘pay’ the RLPA, because it’s money that if it wasn’t given to the RLPA, would be added to the salary cap, and yes, the NRL pay the RLPA, because they transfer them the funds on behalf of the players.

The important thing is that all players are covered, whether they want it or not, an individual player cannot choose to not be in the RLPA and subsequently have their cut of the RLPA funding added to their salary - therefore this is not a typical Trade Union, and I believe that’s why they skirt around never calling it a players union, because it can’t be if there’s no option to opt out and get the money instead.

I absolutely believe the NRL should scrap the current arrangement and force them into being a membership union - see how many of the players actually sign up when they have a choice to keep the cash instead. A few journos, media commentators, club officials and and even coaches have indicated that not all players are on board with the direction of travel from the RLPA.

It’s embarrassing the way the players are going about this

Why did you cut out all the context in my post?

The NRL doesn't get to make that choice, since the players made the choice to pay it from money from the salary cap.

Oh well if James Hooper and Paul Crawley said so.

It's embarrassing that people in this thread, who normally put shit on Murdoch journos, believe every word they say because it suits their agenda.

Off the top of my head

Horsburgh
Api
Latrell
Cook

haven't taped the logo up, So there is some who don't care or want to stay out of the politics of it all

Of course that is ignoring Brad Arthur saying his son doesn't know what it is about

Horsburgh at 43 secs you can clearly see the badge taped over


In the very first second of this video you can see Latrell with his taped up, and Api when he scores his is.


Not shown on that video, but when they run out you can see Cook's taped.

And yeah it's not surprising that some reserve grade half doesn't know what it's fully about. You'll never get every single person in a union knowing what the issues are, that's why you select your leaders. Any player who wants to know, knows exactly who they can ask.

The way it works is that of the revenue identified as going to the players, out of that revenue the NRL pays a flat fee to the RLPA which is how all NRL players are covered by it without any money coming out of their current payments.

Problems this could lead to:

1. If a player objected to being unionisedc by default. It is illegal to make people compulsorily join; and
2. The NRL could just decide to stop the payments. Make the RLPA collect its own membership fees from players.

Looks like no. 2 is being conmmsidered by the NRL according to the Herald -

NRL considers cutting funding to players’ union as pay battle rages on

The RLPA receives $3 million from the NRL each year, but that funding is under scrutiny as the long-running CBA dispute between the organisations continues.

www.smh.com.au

Whilst it would inflame matters, the RLPA would not have a legal leg to stand on if the NRL did it as far as I am aware.

“Given there are about 750 NRL and NRLW players, the $3 million in funding equates to roughly $4000 a year for each player. If the funding was withdrawn, players would, presumably, need to pay a similar amount each year.

It is unlikely all players would choose to join the RLPA if they had to pay fees, so the union would need to increase that amount to fund its operations.
The RLPA has baulked at the $15 million on the table for the next five years and wants closer to $20 million to cater for the increased number of players involved in the expanded NRLW competition.”

Tass no tape
Luke Brooks no tape.

Of not everyone will know but no everyone cares, plenty of people just want to go work, get paid and go home.

The same for any industry. So I don't doubt the journos know some who are in that camp

Again, it's really not hard to check before claiming players didn't have the tape. Brooks is on that video in the first tackle clearly with the tape on, but not only that, he was on screen before kick off for at least 30 secs clearly showing the tape.

If you have Kayo and watch the pregame, you can see the Souths players before they run out and Tass has it on.

Here I'll help you out since you've failed on 6 attempts. Charlie Staines didn't have the tape on.
