The Rugby League Players' Association has written off hundreds of millions of dollars worth of revenue streams in its demand for a fixed share of the game's spoils, but the concession has done nothing to progress a collective bargaining agreement with the NRL.

The NRL and the RLPA met again on Tuesday as part of a two-day scheduled lockdown meeting, with both parties leaving the negotiating table at about 12.45pm frustrated at the lack of progress. There were suggestions the union and its players in attendance – including Moses Mbye, Aidan Guerra, Joel Thompson and Jeremy Latimore – staged a walkout after they were unable to break the stalemate. This was denied by the RLPA, although the association is becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of headway made and the way it is being portrayed by the governing body.

The RLPA is holding out for a guaranteed 29 per cent share of revenue, but has made a large concession in the revenue streams it wants a piece of in an attempt to fast-track a deal. Fairfax Media can reveal that leagues club funding, contra and the costs of building the NRL digital platform – the latter slated as being worth more than $120 million – have been removed from the slice of the revenue pie the union originally sought.

The RLPA has given the NRL permission to disseminate its latest proposal to clubs in the belief they will view it favourably. It will be interesting to see how the news is received, particularly given that head office was slammed for misrepresenting the players' demands when claiming the original offer would "ultimately destroy the financial viability and structure of the game and its clubs".
