Highest paid players

Interesting list in Wales online this morning.
HTML https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/best-paid-rugby-players-world-21320289
The takeaways for me are:
1) Quins' best players are a bargain in comparison (though I
can't imagine Marcus not being on this list when his next
contract is negotiated)
2) How do Bristol do it? They've got three players on this list
and that's before you include the likes of Sinckler and Afoa.
Are they just paying their remaining players very poorly?
3) Saracens still have two on the list and also a good squad.
It'll be interesting to see how they look next season, though.

2) Could 2 of them (Luatua and Radradra) be marquees? I think
Piatau came straight from Wasps so couldn’t be.

Piutau was at Ulster between Wasps and Bristol I believe...
which would most obviously make him one of their marquees.

You could argue that Bristol are not getting value for money.

If that’s right then Marler, Wilco, Andre and Nacho Ramjet are
all on less than £300k, which is an absolute bargain.

If Bath are paying Jonathan Joseph £325k a year they’re being
taken for a ride, that’s a gross waste of salary cap.

Isn’t Wilco are marquee? Can’t believe it is Levies or are we
paying them all in SAR?

The one I found interesting was that Mike Brown is going to be
in a lot of money at Newcastle next year. Also I think I read in
the rugby paper that Andre is on £270,000.
