A thread to discuss how you think positions should be ranked in terms of what they ought to bring in money-wise..
To kick off discussion, I suppose factors to consider is specialization, rarity of quality players in whatever position and the contribution of said position to a game both generally and specifically.
Keeping that in mind I'd go for a ranking of;
1 Tight head - very specialized and a position very world class quality is quite rare so i rate a good TH very highly despite their contribution would probably be very much limited to the scrum
2/3 Scrum- / Fly half - game maker, goal kicker
4 Hooker - the scrum, the line out and general tight five play, pretty specialized
5/6 Locks - the scrum, the line-out. Possibly as a South African I tend to place bigger emphasis on the line-out than what others might
7 Openside flank - a good one can be pretty impactful on a game and can win a game weakly refereed game single handedly
8 Loose head prop
9 Blindside flank
10 Outside center
11 Fullback
12 Inside center
13 No.8
14/15 Wingers
