If you grossed £250000 a year and paid full tax in the UK, you would take home about £143,000 a year. Over a ten year career you would make £1.43 million. If you earned £30,000 a year take home, it would take you nearly 48 years to earn that amount.
I hope other people are interested in this, or I am just weird.

If it's true and if it happens (I'm really stressing the "if" here) I would be praying he doesn't turn out like Richie Gray!

Anyone else we can grab?

I think we’ve got better than Miller
Quote:Barend
... for me the jury is out as to whether they have 'improved'. Depends on your definition I guess.

All bar McIntyre have nose drived since going to Wasps there’s not even an argument. Nearly all injured, all the time. Never so at Sale. If you asked any of them (receiving an honest answer) I bet none of them would gone if they had known how the past few years have worked out, especially with our new owners.
Quote:Crutch
Would likely have had the same issues if he’d stayed with us, like with Nott.
I think the whole idea of moving to another Prem club to improve as a player is a bit of a fallacy to be honest.
You may move to a better team, in which case your own strengths may stand out more, or be playing in more high profile games to get more exposure.
Possibly you could move to a team whose playing style suits you better, but ultimately I don’t see coaches at different teams making a fundamental improvement to a players skillset/conditioning once theyre already of Prem standard.

Hang on fella, doesn't sound like a statement built on fact.
Mac has been as injured as any of them, maybe more so, so how has he kicked improved? TT got injured with England long term then got concussed during a game, these are not club specific, noting he was with the national team, so clearly kicked on.
Gamma has a long term back/nerve issue that isn't resolving, again not a direct attributed to anything.
Over these years you speak of they have been in a team that played reg in Europe and reached finals and semi's. The fact they have all re-signed tells you they are happy with their moves.

Horse seems to have kicked on somewhat since he came to us.
And Yarde seems happier.
Cips arguably sorted himself out.
Dan Mugford I’d argue would never reach his potential playing for Dimes.
On a wider note, Eddie managed to turn round the England team pretty quickly.
Gustard seems to be doing the same at Quins.
I think a coach can have a massive impact just as a line manager can in any environment. Most people will have a favourite boss or even teacher.

Unless your James Phillips aka Super James Phillips, who seems to have come along very nicely since joining us from Barf.

Quote:MikeGC
Coaches clearly have a big role to play
e.g. Richie Gray - good international player, good pre Sharks and good post Sharks
I understand many dismiss the lad but he was playing the role that the DoR required but it was clearly the wrong role as it failed to use him to Sharks best advantage

Same thoughts immediately occurred with Mujati when in his first home game he had shot down the players tunnel to the dressing rooms within 30 seconds of the final whistle going

Probably in a hurry to update his Social Media. Priorities and all that!
