Sydney Roosters star Luke Keary says players are aware of what they're fighting for after a media boycott temporarily lifted on Monday as collective bargaining agreement negotiations drag on.
The media ban - which is in place on game days, with all players refusing to do media unless they are paid to do interviews - was announced last week and attracted criticism from some, including Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
Keary disputed claims by Stuart that players are unaware of the nuances to discussions around the CBA, which is now eight months overdue.
