Players union boss calls for ban on Super League signings until pay cuts issue with clubs resolved

mirror.co.uk:

Players union boss Garreth Carvell has called for a ban on Super League signings while clubs are asking players to take pay cuts.

Carvell - head rep for the GMB Union that represents 85 percent of top flight players - is confident the competition will restart on August 2 despite fears that clubs won’t have agreed terms by then.

But he says players have been angered by clubs making high profile recruits during the current talks - and wants the RFL to put a temporary ban on it.

Carvell explained: “Clubs signing players at the same time as asking others to take cuts doesn’t sit well with me or any of the players, and I can understand why they’re aggrieved about it.
