NRL salary cap set to be cut in bid to stop up to 100 players losing jobs – Fox Sports
The NRL has proposed to keep the top-30 roster system amid fears that up to 100 players could be lost to the game due to smaller squad sizes – although players will have to take a pay cut of around 10 per cent next year.
The NRL held a meeting with the 16 chief executives on Wednesday, reports the Sydney Morning Herald, to go through how players will be contracted for the 2021 season and the knock-on effects of COVID-19.
Fears that the current top-30 system for each team could be reduced by as many as five spots as a cost-cutting exercise to help balance out some of the money lost because of the shutdown and lack of fans.
