The Rugby League Players’ Association makes the following statement to address factually incorrect media reports.
The reports relate to a meeting invitation from the NRL on May 18 to the RLPA and player leaders following various issues that have arisen recently.
The suggestion that this meeting request has not been responded to by the RLPA is false and misleading.
The RLPA has been in contact with the NRL on several occasions regarding this meeting and other associated matters.
Players leaders are fully aware and supportive of the RLPA’s approach to gather key priorities from the collective to present in this proposed meeting.
The RLPA is extremely disappointed by this misrepresentation of the facts and continue to welcome the opportunity to present an accurate account on matters when they are involved.
