StooperHampshire Royal That's interesting, but how does it work in practice?
20 players on 25,000pa = 500,000. How big are the squads if 1,100,000 is shared out among the rest with none of them earning as much as 25,000pa?
Well you can't go over 20 players on that much, but £25k is a pretty standard figure for your average SL player. Scott Hill at Harlequins RL is reportedly on 100k a year, Matt King at Warrington on 150k so as long as you've got a few lower earners in your first 25, you can bring in the bigger players.
In theory you could just have a squad of 20 players earning 80k pa
How do win bonuses come into this equation?
Do they come oput of the salary pot or is it posible to haveeveryone 'commission based' (ironically just like the loathesome footie agents!)
