League Journos Explain Why NRL Players Are Boycotting Interviews

As the stalemate continues between the Rugby League Players’ Association (RLPA) and National Rugby League (NRL) over the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the RLPA has ordered its players to boycott media on non-playing days.

Why exactly did the RLPA take this drastic measure and what is it hoping to achieve are the burning questions our journos answer on the Footy Talk podcast.

LEADING LEAGUE JOURNALISTS MICHAEL CHAMMAS, DANNY WEIDLER AND ADAM PENGILLY EXPLAIN THE RLPA MEDIA BOYCOTT ON FOOTY TALK:

The trio also discuss:

  • Brad Fittler’s claims the NSW media is trying put a wedge between him and his players
  • Whether Benji Marshall will be fast tracked into the head coach role at the Tigers
  • If the Titans will lose their big guns after the sacking of Justin Holbrook
  • The struggles facing clubs trying to rebuild, with a focus on the Bulldogs
  • And how the Penrith Panthers juggernaut keeps on rolling on
