The 16 NRL clubs met on Monday in person and over telephone conference, as scheduled six weeks ago, to review progress since the last meeting in Melbourne and in preparation for the Chairs meeting with the NRL in Brisbane in October.
Given recent developments the meeting was timely, even though it had long been planned.
As has been the way since the June meeting, positive discussions continue on the issues raised in Melbourne.
Despite speculation to the contrary, all 16 clubs are united in our approach and we look forward to continuing these discussions with the NRL in a timely manner.
