       That might be what the fans think is fair but it's not what the
       clubs want.

       You'd have to properly police rich sides poaching academy
       players, too

       You’d need to change our labour laws to do that, though, and go
       back to pre-Bosman times.

       Having a quick look at the SC regs, if we take Ben as an
       example, Sarries get £40k + £5k per Prem or European match they
       are unavailable for (£10k for non Senior EPS players).

       the £300k salary number is correct, then we got 16% of his
       salary in credits despite England getting 60% of his playing
       minutes in the 23/24 season ( 917 minutes for Sarries, 1374 for
       England).

       Clubs then have to either develop or recruit more players to
       replace the ones they've already developed that England are
       using whilst the RFU compensates just a fraction of the wages
       the player is still being paid by their club.
       I understand that under the new agreement, every premiership
       club, regardless of their EQP academy output, will still receive
       £3.3m every year. That doesn't strike me as a very clever idea.

       PRL have always insisted on an even split. Go and tell them
       you're unhappy.

       Thanks.
       Assuming that England reduce the appearance payments and a
       greater proportion comes back to the clubs... They would then in
       theory pass it on in increased wages to the players to make up
       for earning less with England?
       I don't think there's an easy answer to any of this stuff. I
       think rugby has generally existed in a complacent environment
       financially for a long time. Elements of blame can be
       apportioned to the RFU, elements to the clubs, elements to grass
       roots. I'd hope that a sense of realism kicks in soon for all
       parties.

       There was zero leadership from the RFU in 1996. Literally zero!
       They literally just let the clubs get on with it.

       If there is a proviso that the £3.3m must be used to develop
       EQPs then I don't have a problem with an even split. But I don't
       think that proviso exists.

       Look, it's PRL who decide how the money's split and it's up to
       the clubs how they spend it. So take it up with either PRL or
       Sarries if you don't like it
