A new proposal would see clubs able to sign a player worth up to 350-thousand dollars, should one of their stars get injured during a representative match.
It's the first kind of salary cap relief the NRL has considered.
The development comes six months after the NRL declined a request from Canberra, to sign a player following a major knee injury to star hooker Josh Hodgson during last year's World Cup.
NRL salary cap auditor Richard Gardham conceded part of the move was to discourage clubs from making their players unavailable for representative duty.
