NRL players agree to new pay deal as May 28 restart takes shape

NRL players will resume group training on Wednesday after officially agreeing to a pay deal, which guarantees them 80 per cent of their contracted payment for the 2020 season.

Clubs are limited to training in groups of 10 this week, but are expected to be given the green light to resume full squad training next week.

"Many of them are making significant sacrifices for the competition to restart and that is not lost on anyone."

More to come.
