[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 772990, member: 55446"] People change their minds on stuff, it happens. I've read a good point on central contracts recently. England players get £15k match appearances fees. ~10 games a year is around £150k. There are also bonuses if the team do well, and I presume some kind of payment for being in the EPS. Also, for the EPS agreement, the RFU is giving PRL clubs £102m over the next 8 years, along with some of the money earned for the 4th Autumn International. In return: So basically, players have a [I]massive[/I] monetary incentive for playing for England. Clubs get compensation for it. In return, England get to deliver support on "elite player management programmes" (i.e. they get to determine how the clubs train their internationals, presumably allowing positional changes), and a medical protocol to keep players in the best physical condition (i.e. resting). It's effectively central contracts by a different means. Arguably it's better for England though. We don't need to be bound to players for years like you would with central contracts; we can change players at every EPS. It also works on an incentive system - you have to work for your international money. Whereas central contracts would just be hand-outs. You hope that an incentive system would push players harder.
