Rugby League Players' Association delegate Shaun Lane says NRL stars are willing to strike if a satisfactory CBA isn't reached with the league.

abc.net.au/news/nrl-stars-consider-radical-strike-as-pay-crisis-deepens/101942890The NRL's pay dispute has reached full-blown crisis point with players threatening to strike during the premiership, claiming a radical boycott may be required "for the good of the game".

But now Parramatta back-rower Shaun Lane, an RLPA delegate for the Eels, says the dispute has lingered for too long and a strike may be the only solution. "A strike is probably the last thing that everyone wants to occur and obviously understanding the best interests for all the stakeholders in the game — players, clubs, the NRL, fans, sponsors — the last thing that anyone wants to happen is to strike and for footy to be cancelled.
