The NRL and the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) have begun formal negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that is expected to dramatically reshape the code. Morgan Schneiderlin Jersey .NRL boss Todd Greenberg and his RLPA counterpart Ian Prendergast have met to launch discussions on the new CBA that will be introduced to rugby league in what promises to be a watershed season in 2018.The NRL assumes full control of the playing schedule from broadcasters Fox Sports and the Nine Network under the terms of the new TV deal that year in a situation that is certain to have a positive ripple effect across the code.Prendergast is in the process of meeting the playing groups of all 16 NRL clubs to gauge their wants and expectations over reforms in crucial areas such as welfare, health and safety, governance, integrity and of course the money that will be made available to players.There remains a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the size of the salary cap for the 2018 season as players and clubs push for more of the money that the game generates, including from its billion-dollar five-year broadcast deal from 2018-22.On the key issue of player burnout and welfare, the number of five-day turnarounds is expected to be reduced significantly from this seasons 31, when the draw for 2018 is announced at the end of next year.The NRL integrity unit and the consistency, or otherwise, of punishments its metes out is likely to be another key topic of discussion during negotiations for the new CBA. Some clubs are pushing for matters of NRL integrity to be handled by an independent body.The relationship between the NRL and RLPA has improved immensely since the games governing body did not consult the players group before the release of this seasons draw last November, amid claims any concerns of player burnout were being ignored.After that incident, Greenberg indicated the NRL would take a more-collaborative approach with the RLPA to issues across the game and the opening of negotiations so far out from the conclusion of the current CBA at the end of 2017 is a sign of that.The RLPAs standing in the game has gained far-greater prominence since then, due in no small part to the work of Prendergast, who took over the role in December after serving as general manager of the AFL Players Association.The negotiation process for the new CBA is expected to take up to 12 months.

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious.TORONTO -- Brandon Morrows season is effectively over after the Toronto Blue Jays starter was diagnosed with a nerve injury in his right forearm. Morrow has an entrapped radial nerve that will keep him from throwing for the next six weeks. Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews made the diagnosis, which the team announced Thursday. "He was feeling better, but he wasnt making a whole lot of progress," manager John Gibbons said. "They recommended six weeks off, and when you look at six weeks, how much time is left? But the thinking is that they want him, hopefully when that six weeks is up, he starts getting on the mound so that when the year is over hes at least thrown from the mound doing something. So he goes in the off-season knowing where hes at and feeling good about it, anyway." Morrow went 2-3 with a 5.63 ERA in 10 starts before leaving the Blue Jays game May 28 after two innings. Several MRIs were taken on the right-handers sore arm, but all that doctors found was inflammation, according to general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Because of that uncertainty, Anthopoulos said Wednesday afternoon that he wasnt very optimistic about Morrows status. "I dont know enough about the severity," Anthopoulos said. "I just know that its not safe for him to go out there." Morrow had been throwing side sessions while rehabbing in Dunedin, Fla., but Andrews prescribed six weeks off. That would take the 28-year-old to September, when it would be difficult for him to get ramped back up for big-league action. "After six weeks you figure its got to be better, you would hope," Gibbons said. "But Im no doctor." The Blue Jays might noot know for sure about Morrows future until spring training when he faces live hitters again, but they hope hell be able to test things out in the fall. Lucas Digne Jersey. "If he throws after six weeks and hes feeling good and its all behind him and he gets on the mound, I mean it wouldnt be actual game competition but hed be airing it out," Gibbons said. "Youd have a better idea, anyway." Anthopoulos also said he likes the flexibility afforded the Blue Jays by Brett Lawries ability to play second and third base. But for the majority of at least the short-term future, Lawrie will be a corner infielder. Gibbons stopped short of saying the Lawrie at second base experiment was over for good, but he penciled the 23-year-old in at third base again for Thursdays series opener against the Houston Astros and plans on keeping him there. "We always have a right to change our mind," Gibbons said. "Its not definite where hes going to be only (at third base), but well see how that plays out." Gibbons cited Lawries defensive plays Wednesday night as his reasoning, saying, "Im dumb, Im not stupid. Ive seen him be good, hes always been good." Mark DeRosa might still see some time at third, which would require Lawrie to move over to second. Lawrie is hitting .208 this season -- .215 at third base and .158 at second. According to Gibbons, Lawrie is OK with moving back and forth. "He said, Ill play anywhere, whatever the team needs. That was his answer," Gibbons said. "I said, We dont want to get into the habit of moving you around, but I think it helps our flexibility and who knows what it might address down the road."
