[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 797916, member: 71826"] Not sure how I feel about this. First reaction is anger at the exploitation, second is that they chose their career and there are plenty of other people in less rewarding badly-paid job. Perfect world the championship would be fully professional at a comfortable minimum salary, but the clubs can't pay for that so it comes down to whether the RFU a) can and b) wants to. Is investment in that better spent than elsewhere, grass roots rugby or whatever? Alternatively, is there scope for a "feeder club" system where Prem clubs might contribute to wages in exchange for access to players on loan / first dibs on transfer options? Probably not, unfortunately only a couple have spare money for that. But long-term, supported by the RFU? [/QUOTE]
