Clubs say they’ve held positive talks with NRL over salary cap stand-off

Fairfax media is reporting that there was a meeting on Wednesday between NRL club chiefs and the NRL about wide-ranging issues that included funding, the salary cap and changes to the constitution. Storm Chairman Bart Campbell described the latest round of talks as “positive” but it’s said there’s still be a long way to go before the NRL placates clubs about the points they raised – especially funding.

“We met with the NRL and met with the club chairs afterwards, as planned, to update them on that meeting,”  said Campbell. “We will meet with them again on December 2 as we try to move forward. All of today’s meetings were positive. Today’s discussions are constructive and I would hope we would make some progress on the second of December which is when the NRL present to all clubs.”
