    Entirely - it forms part of their collective agreement through the player's association.

      So, how can they turn down the pay cut? If you're collectively contracted, and the collective decide on a pay cut, don't you go the same way?

        @Machpants @NTA

        "Rugby players stood down after agent refuses to take pay cut"

        Take a pay cut or you don't have a job. Seems a bit unusual - generally taking pay cuts is voluntary, and doesn't necessarily count against you if redundancies happen.

        Still, I"m not an expert in Australian employment law so who knows

        @nzzp These are unusual circumstances. I don't know the ins and outs of it either, but if the RUPA agreements cover a percentage of RA's income pie as guaranteed for the player pool, and the pie suddenly shrinks, then what other options are there? 🤔

          Exactly what they've done - you end the contractual relationship.

            @antipodean OK, that makes sense now.

            So walk away. Wonder if there is a notice period that has to play out.

            cheers fella

              @nzzp yup you can be stood down without pay due to CV, and the gov picks up the wages. But they've refused the gov wages too.

              SA were up front and gave everyone 3 weeks to either hand their notice in, or accept cuts. Ozzie and NZ have players unions that negotiator on their behalf, dunno about SA.

              That was a deal the Saffa players' unions negotiated, the 21 day clause.

                      Drunk, or he's been in Oz 30 years and still can't speak English properly ...

                      I gave up a paragraph in because I really had no idea what he was writing.

                                      Has the media reported what Hockings and Lucas are earning? Rodda is thought to be on $650K a year which is a nice earner, even with a 60% salary hit.

                                      It sounds like Rodda is pissed off Thorn overlooked him for the Qld captain.

                                        @Bovidae said in Aussie Rugby:

                                        It also sounds like Thorn was right.

                                        TBH these guys are getting some bad advice from their management and should be thinking longer term. So fuck 'em.

                                          Picone must be the rugby equivalent of Khoder Nasser.
