NRL clubs will no longer receive financial compensation for playing home games on Monday nights or in other unpopular time slots under the new funding agreement with the ARL Commission.

While the ARLC met most of the key demands of the 16 clubs by committing to provide them with an additional $3 million each over the next two years and annual grants equating to 130 per cent of the salary cap from 2018 to 2022, they have foregone some of the discretionary funding previously provided.

Instead, all clubs will receive the same funding from the ARLC and it will be largely up to them to decide how the money is spent.

As a result, clubs will not receive an extra $40,000 for each Monday night game they host as compensation for lower gate takings and sponsorship than matches played in other time slots.
