CBA Statement
The Rugby League Players' Association is pleased to advise that it has reached in-principle agreement with the NRL on an historic collective bargaining agreement.
Once ratified, this agreement will set rugby league up for the future while ensuring the rights of all NRL and NRLW players - current and future - are protected.
The in-principle agreement will be presented to the Australian Rugby League Commission and Rugby League Players’ Association for ratification in the coming days.
