NRL Salary Cap/CBA -2023 - 2027

[Iamback]

Aren't the RLIF supposed to run international league? Shouldn't they be organizing the player funding for tests or series?

They should but they are broke and most of the countries that play are poor

Now for the RLPA response to the new IRL calendar announcements

 

[wazdog]

I was wondering why none of the NRLW players covered up their NRL logos tonight. It's because the RLPA have now written to sponsors including Telstra asking them to support their pay dispute. This is amateur hour.

League players ramp up pay deal campaign with pleas to sponsors

The players’ union has written to the NRL’s key sponsors to with a plea to urge the league’s leaders to re-enter discussions over a stalled collective bargaining agreement.

There is talk that origin is worth 35% of revenue

Doubt it.
nrl revenue is around $600mill. That’d make origin worth round $210mill!
Its rumoured tv value is around $30mill ayear. Tickets say 180k @ $200 avg = $36mill. Then sponsors and merch, hosting rights when in another city etc. be surprised if it isnt around $80-$100mill revenue.

I see the players didn’t cover up the NRL badge this week, and have instead wrote to the NRL sponsors asking for support.
My guess would be that the RLPA have been issues with a breach notice type letter explaining how the players could be fined/sanctioned for covering the logo and Telstra sponsorship.
What the imbeciles don’t realise, if they piss off the sponsors (by covering their name) and the broadcasters (by reducing/impacting their content), come contract renewal time, those same sponsors and broadcasters will be using the players actions at this time as a bargaining chip to reduce the price they pay, which will have a direct impact on potential future revenue and subsequent salary rises.
They are so short sighted.

Lmao I posted on one of their twitter posts they are in breach of their contractual arrangements

 

[Iamback]

So their letter said minimum wage was an issue. I thought the money was sorted?

There are so many RLPA demands coming out

You have to wonder if anything has been agreed

 

[Diesel]

How many times will PR watch that interview

 

[Frailty]

Why does PVL premise that the NRL are willing to meet as long as it's the existing mediator? That seems odd.

There's too many parallels with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA/WAG strike and the same tactics are being used by management.

Probably because on what has actually been agreed to

So we dont go back to the drawing board on these items again

And stay focused on what is left to agree on

Maybe the other issue is around Clint if he stays in the room. He can quote on the agreed specifics when Clint tries to change them

Did they get a 34 percent increase and other record conditions

the issues are minor Clint is just on a power trip

the big issues have all been sorted months ago

You've sat in the room for these negotiations?

 

[taste2taste]

Here's what they had to say about it on 100% Footy

 

[Wb1234]

You've sat in the room for these negotiations?

I’ve sat in a room reading the articles about it for a year

 

[Wb1234]

'Stunt' labelled 'hostage video' as ugly dispute lingers

'The players look like they've been abducted'

Clint’s hired a pr firm to get his message out

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Seriously it will actually be 2027 before this shit is even close to resolved. Newton is out of his depth and V'landal is a morally bankrupt mob boss.

Nice strawman.

The similarities are the attacks that production companies keep using against them - namely "actors are well paid, they're all millionaires" (despite vast majority, up to 86%, earning less than $26,000), "we are willing to meet" but they never do, "the actors and writers don't even know what the negotiations are about and being mislead by their union reps", "the strike is only damaging their ability to earn".

Compare this with the NRL and media response to the RLPA - "They've never earnt more", "we are willing to meet (but only with our conditions met", "the players don't even know what the negotiations are about", "not doing media work is only damaging their ability to earn more".

It's the same old playbook.

How’s it a Strawman ?

the most relevant figure is how much their pay went up everything else is secondary

rugby league players have already secured a massive pay increase and are still in dispute
