Episode Synopsis

***THIS WAS RECORDED PRIOR TO THE AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPAL WAS ACHIEVED***

Media blackout. Taping over the NRL Logo. NRL vs CBA feud. What is it
all about?

There has been a lot of conjecture about what the players are seeking in
the new CBA. The RLPA and the players have been misrepresented in the
media. We wanted to bring some clarity to the situation.

We have Jamie Buhreh, RLPA representative and former NRL player, to
answer some of the tough questions about the CBA and the whole
situation.
