Corona impact on NRL...?

[GNR4LIFE]

Things are starting to get messy in regards to money. I’m sure they have put layers into the pay cut plan for players but how this works when they have no idea how many games are going to be played. Do the players take the full cut now and get an increase if games get played or do they pay them another rate now and it goes down as more games are lost?

I know in the AFL players look like taking a 50% paycut, and there’s talk the AFL want to push that to 75 😧

50% pay cut is massive for anyone but at least they will still be getting paid. Is going to be interesting how well the players take it and how they are perceived in public for their reactions.

Pay cut is better than a job loss.

Exactly mate. They need to compare it to the rest of the world and be thankful they have a job.

Once we're past this, the players CBA needs to be looked at. Sure, the NRL might have not saved as much as they should have, but fundamentally it comes down to the players taking too much of the revenue in wages year on year.

There needs to be a cash reserve put aside large enough for the game to skip a year.

Yep. Hopefully this leads to the players realising that they are pretty lucky and wages can be adjusted accordingly. Getting paid something is better than nothing

It has to be structured ....50% for DCE and 50% for Tim Mikaele is ballparks apart

And as for Richardson ...we should be trying to snap him up in a heartbeat

 

[happy_tiger]

Secondly , if they end up culling sides the players will end with a better deal

We get home and away footy ..if we aren't culled it's a good thing

Richardson was only on $50k...
All the bleeding hearts fell for his resignation.

That's fine ...but he is one of the league's best administrators ..clubs would be mad not to at least approach him

Good luck getting that past the NRLPA and clubs.

But I do agree that the game needs a rainy day fund.

 

[happy_tiger]

Players have nowhere to go ...

They can't threaten to go to ESL , Rugby Union ,AFL ,NFL

I know players compare themselves to the money earned in the NFL ,NBA ,MLB and EPL

But lets put that in perspective ....to become the best player in the NRL you are up against lets say 4 million players best case ...to become the best player in the NFL you are up against more than 30 times that ....and those clubs attract the biggest sponsors in the world

This is the time we can really reset our game more realistically financially wise for all involved

It’s about time NRL players took a pay cut
Especially our mob

Yeah, might be a bit of back and forth - It's not the most intelligent room. But as long as they stipulate the 2 scenarios, then it should be pretty clear. i.e. in this situation, they get paid or don't get paid.

The fund can also grow as an endowment and second revenue stream for the game. Much like what the Tigers have done with the WT Foundation.

Yeah I heard !
Brooks offered us $500k to stay contracted

Whatever the players agree on, it has to be consistent. That's going to be the hardest part. People with kids and a mortgage have far less disposable income than someone single.

I am hopeful this virus kills off useless clubs like the Titans. I can’t think of a club that has ever had less history or significance.

They are probably thinking the same about us.

Well this should be a clear indicator as to why it should be done. If the RLPA and clubs baulk coming back from this the game deserves to fold forever.

Not quite? The SMH said they want to renegotiate the current deal and potentially extend. At a bargain price I would guess.
