- Players had already agreed 30-50% reduction from April to June
- Garreth Carvell: ‘We’d like to set it to a maximum cut of 15%’
Super League players are set to take further pay cuts for an indefinite period as the chief executive of one of the competition’s leading clubs warned of the sport’s financial situation deteriorating still further.
Top-flight players, with the help of the Rugby League Players’ Association, had initially agreed salary reductions of 30-50% for the three months from April, while the domestic season remained on hold. The RLPA had hoped the cuts would be temporary but the union’s organiser, Garreth Carvell, confirmed they will now continue into July and beyond.
