Of course, we don't know exact figures so it's all its/buts/maybes but it's more about the players surely wondering why 'this' number is your salary and 'this' is a company we've set up (which is just a name MANUPROP, WIGGY9 etc etc) that you're now the owner of and will have 200k deposited into it every year - appreciate that agents/advisors surely have a part to play also.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if bigger players like Farrell didn't already have companies set up which had image rights paid into them as a more tax efficient way of being paid. This is generally what happens with footballers (some transactions being more dubious than others).

Agree re: other clubs
I've heard Farrell on 750k and if on that basis you may say Maro, BV, MV, DALY, WILLIAMS, GEORGE and KRUIS AVE 500k you're that leaves only about 2.8m for another 25 players including other British lions and established international players.
