The RPA, however, believe that the demands of a 10-month league competition could harm the players.
"We echoed the fundamental concerns expressed publicly by leading players around potential physical and psychological impact on player welfare," the RPA said in a statement after meeting with Premiership Rugby officials.
"Giving players sufficient rest and recuperation around a well-structured off-season remains sacrosanct.
"We are also in consultation with industry experts in the fields of sports science, physical conditioning and mental well-being... their feedback will be crucial in objectively shaping any season structure changes."
