In a shocking turn of events, Clint Newton, the former NRL player, has been at the center of controversy as he finds himself "embarrassing himself" with a drastic new move.
The issue arose when players considered covering the NRL logo on their team jerseys, a proposal that was initially discussed during the pre-season but ultimately abandoned.
However, it seems that the players have now decided to implement this protest during the highly anticipated Women in League round.
The Rugby League Players' Association (RLPA) has been tirelessly advocating for their rights and has recently called for an independent mediator to intervene and resolve the ongoing stalemate.
Unfortunately, their pleas seem to be falling on deaf ears as the NRL has stubbornly submitted a 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer, showing little willingness to negotiate.
This dispute has created a rift between the NRL and the players, with both parties unwilling to budge from their respective positions.
The RLPA's demand for fair treatment and representation has been met with resistance, leaving the players feeling unheard and undervalued.
As the NRL's Women in League round approaches, the players have decided to take matters into their own hands by covering the NRL logo on their jerseys.
This symbolic gesture aims to highlight their discontent and send a powerful message to the NRL hierarchy.
It remains to be seen how this protest will unfold and what impact it will have on the ongoing negotiations.
One thing is for certain - Clint Newton's involvement in this controversial move has certainly stirred the pot and brought attention to the players' concerns.
As the tension continues to rise, fans and stakeholders eagerly await the outcome of this standoff, hoping for a resolution that will address the players' grievances while preserving the integrity and unity of the Rugby League community.
