“It`s fantastic to be able to set a four-year term for the deal, which gives our agreement with the game officials long-term security,” Annesley said. Del Vecchio said the deal was an important outcome after a 12-month process. Rugby league players will sacrifice nearly $19 million in salaries over the next two seasons after the NRL and the Rugby League Players` Association finally sign a revised collective agreement. The collective agreement is an agreement between the NRL and the RLPA that sets out the minimum conditions for the employment of players and other important agreements in the sport of rugby league. The CBA encompasses a number of important issues that govern the relationship between all parties involved and balance the interests of all key stakeholders in the best interest of the game and its players. The players agreed to a 6% reduction in the base salary cap for 2021 and 2022, which will now be $9.02 million and $9.11 million, respectively, compared to $9.6 million and $9.7 million under the original deal. NRL chief Abdo, who had hoped to nail the ABC before Christmas, said: “2020 has proven that when we do things together, we get a better result for everyone. Today, this is another example of that. “This agreement marks the beginning of a relationship of recognition and respect,” Del Vecchio said. “Negotiations have always been conducted in the right spirit and I would like to highlight the role that Silvio Del Vecchio played during the process.” Cherry-Evans was happy to accept the discount, especially after seeing what COVID had done to the final result of the game, but hoped that the goodwill of the players would not be forgotten at the next ABC.

I would also like to thank [RLPA CEO] Clint Newton for his leadership in reaching a deal that keeps his players, the game and our common stakeholders safe. The RLPA initially pushed for a pay cut of just 2.5% after the players spent the last five months of last season with only 52% of their salary. They took a 20% discount over the 12 months. Promote the integrity and values of the game by recognizing the importance of our actions on and off the field. Strengthening of actors and support for rehabilitation and reform. Prioritize the well-being, health and safety of players, the development of best practice standards and the provision of world-class facilities. “Having seen first-hand the financial difficulties the game has endured over the past 12 months, I have the chance to understand where it stands and where we need to go to get back on track. I`ve tried to help people understand that this is the case, but it`s the right thing to do. Because if the game doesn`t respect the game officials, we can`t expect it from everyone. We are very satisfied with this result.
