The nominees are in 🗳️ Kodi Nikorima, Selwyn Cobbo and Sam Walker are all in the running for their first-ever RLPA Player of the Month award for their performances in June. The winner will be announced next Monday on @levelsnetwork

Congratulation to Dayne Jennings, who ran out for his NRL debut last weekend! What an achievement, mate 👏

One of the game’s best 👏⚔️ The RLPA’s Clint Newton was proud to present Yasmin Meakes (Second Rower of the Year) with her official recognition in the 2025 RLPA Players’ Dream Team from the NRLW.

"If you put the 41.5 per cent against the existing 17 teams, it would mean that any new team would be effectively 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝟮.𝟱 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺.” With the impending broadcast deal, Clint Newton OAM spoke to the The Australian Financial Review to reaffirm the players' financial agreement with the NRL ahead of CBA negotiations.

@rlexpanda Incorrect, grassroots money is always allocated and internationals funded through the NRL and CBA.

@RLPlayers We already know you’ll take most of the cash that could go to grassroots and internationals and hand it to the top 0.1% of players and their crooked managers. As always. It’s why the game is so limited and ultimately unsustainable.

@oethesaint That's the current deal, yes.

@RLPlayers Don’t the players maintain their share if it stays at 41.5% of a bigger number?

Congratulations to all the players who celebrated career achievements this weekend, including Jason Taumalolo who joined the prestigious 300 club 🤝

Milestone moments all round 👏

Ahead of his 300th NRL game, Felise and Clint shared some special words for Jase 🤝

Talamonū atu, Jason! 👏 Congratulations to Jason Taumalolo, who this weekend will become the 56th player in premiership history to reach 300 games. A one-club player with the North Queensland Cowboys, Jason will become the first player to bring up 300 NRL games exclusively with the Cowboys. Renowned for his destructive running game and unmatched work rate, he has been one of the competition’s premier forwards for more than a decade and one of the most influential middles of his generation. Congratulations on the milestone, Jase. Go well this weekend 🤝

The RLPA’s Gavin Cowan will be along with the team for the 150km Big Three Trek from the SCG to McDonald Jones Stadium this week, helping raise vital funds for brain cancer research and patient care through the @MarkHughesFdn 🥾 If you'd like to support Gavin and the crew, please consider donating to the MHF here 👉 bigthreetrek6.gofundraise.com.au/page/RLPA-7930…
