Action against agents embroiled in the Parramatta salary cap scandal has been deferred yet again, as two lawyers engaged by the Rugby League Player Managers Accreditation Committee build nuclear proof cases.

The deferral will anger many club administrators and coaches who point out the Eels and five officials were punished by the NRL two years ago, while player managers continue to be a major source of instability in the game.

Some club chairs are agitating to have players pay agents’ commission direct, severing the co-operative relationship where clubs deduct the fees from the monthly payments made to players.

The agent then invoices the club for the commission it collects.
