Former Melbourne Storm boss Mark Evans is halfway through his review of the NRL's third party payments.

Evans has met with some clubs as the NRL explore the prospect of reworking the code's third party payments system which has seen a rising disparity in what some club spend on players outside the salary cap. It is understood third party payments total more than $10 million each year. Evans hinted at simplifying the current system.

"We've got some improvements that could be made," Evans said. "I'm testing a few ideas against a few people in the game. Hopefully, in the next few weeks I will be able to make a proposal.

"I don't think we have had a look at it for a while. In general terms you can make [third party payments] clearer and communicate them better to our various clubs and fans. Make it simpler and make it more transparent.

"These things are always moving. It is a good time to have a look at it."
