‘Lacked respect’: NRL players launch explosive boycott in escalating war with NRL

While I have no doubt the NRL is just trying to force their way, based on what Chad said players want coupled with the 25% (18% for most players) pay rise the players are certainly seeking a hell of a lot all at once.
They say the game is for the fans but threaten to boycott games if they don’t get all the financial support they want. Don’t see how that benefits the fans
Not sure the RLPA understand one side is not just ‘delaying negotiations’ by not giving you everything you want.
Certainly throwing the cap proposal out there publicly before it’s agreed, just before Christmas, was disrespectful and a **** move by NRL.
If it’s not about the money and it is for the fans well I don’t want to miss any footy because the NRL hasn’t agreed to ‘match payments outside the cap’. The other stuff seems great but costs a lot on top of significant raises at same time
