The NRL are set to save $80 million a year in the biggest and most important cost overhaul in the game’s history.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Australian Rugby League Commission met on Thursday to create a financial strategy to ensure the game survives the impact of COVID-19.

ARLC chair Peter V’landys says the NRL is “not mucking around” in an overhaul of the cost structure which will change things for clubs, but will mostly affect head office.

Round 16 wraps up tonight with the Storm taking on the Sea Eagles at 6.05pm and the match will be shown live on FBC Sports.

Another match today sees the Raiders meet the Bulldogs at 8.30pm.
