Gloucester are 9th at the moment and I’d be shocked if they did any better than 8th next season.

[Robespierre]

More money troubles in Wales

Rugby Pass reporting that Farrell and Tuilagi both taking a pay CUT to play in France.

Quite possible. Tuilagi is at the stage where he is going to have to take the highest available offer.
Farrell reportedly on around £800k at Saracens, can’t see any club paying that for a 32 year old. He’ll still be on good money though

I thought I’d seen a tweet some where stating Farrell as £625,000 and Tuilagi as £325,000. Which I think for Manu was a good deal couldn’t see any premiership clubs pay that, and for
Farrell I believe Saracens couldn’t afford to keep both him and Itoji, so after the abuse as the World Cup he probably thought he’d try and get away from it all for a couple of years in Paris.

I may be wrong but don’t think Manu was on that at Sales as he reportedly took a pay cut when he left Tigers . If that’s what Bayonne are paying him, they are unlikely to get more than 10 or 11 games out of him, then £30k a game seems a good deal

I got it from a rugby plant article so not sure how accurate it is, but funnily they are reporting that will be a pay cut for him, weather he signed a better deal when he re-signed a couple of seasons ago, makes you wonder how much we were paying him.

Aren't the tax rules different in France? I could be wrong but whilst the actual salary might be less, the take home could be more?

Those figures also may include England squad earnings which they will no longer receive

[MCC1964]

Ludlum and Sinkler both off to Toulon.

Rumour that Sale's offer to Manu was an even bigger reduction and that they wouldn't budge.

I've read that in France taxes are at household not individual, so you total up all your earnings, divide by the number of people (including Children apparently) then pay tax on the basis of those thresholds. So a high single earning family with 4 kids effectively gets 4 tax free allowances & 4 lower tax brackets.

I am not sure on this, I was reading it about different pro-child policies on twitter rather than from a rugby perspective.
