NRL players to boycott

NRL players may boycott WC

A proposal to ask NRL players, who will fill key positions in World Cup teams over the five-week tournament beginning late October, to withdraw their services was tabled at an executive meeting of the RLPA on Sunday and will be raised at the mass meeting of 300 players in Sydney.

NRL clubs, however, claim such a player boycott would be in breach of their contractual obligations to promote the code.
