The "top earners" are grossing far more than that though - through the clubs and from "external" earnings". And I'm not at all sure that player earnings will follow a Normal Distribution - not least because of the small population size at each club and the disproportionate benefit a club sees from employing a "marquee" player?

I do think people might be surprised at how modest the packages of some of the "middle-rankers"are though.

Would I be right in thinking your £18k-£20k applies to players outside the "25"?

Salary cap is top 25 earners only so I'm only referring to the 25. Although as mentioned above it is possible that there are some players at the lower end on less than 18-20k, therefore freeing up space at the top end of the bell curve for higher earners.

The average is still about 64k though. The rest is my statistical ramblings.

Berrigan and Richard Horne are our top earners both earning around £120k a year

I'm sure it was in the HDM when we signed Berro, it was naming the rumoured top five earners in the league. Sure it said Berro either "£200,000 - £220,000

I reckon each clubs top earners hit £180,000.
The rest could be anything.
