Just with player agents / managers they do not make a cent until a player signs a pro deal of about 50k min
It's in the RUPA standard players agreement. Managers will only consider moving players if it is in the players interest to help there development
and get that crack at S15 and in the end it is the players decision not the managers and a manager is not going to suggest a player change club just so he can make 6% of basically nothing if he was allowed to charge a fee.
As someone who says he has been involved with colts for a number of years , I am surprised with some of your comments.
Of course it is ultimately the players decision what he does & where & with whom he does it,
i.e. I am not suggesting that a player will be held down , or threatened with electrical charges to his testis , or stupefied with mind drugs ,to obtain his signature .
But to suggest that all players who switch codes actually want to switch codes , without any outside influence / pressure from others including that from managers directly or indirectly ,is just simply wrong.
And the same applies in certain situations with some of those that switch clubs.
Your remarks would suggest that managers are always beyond reproach , & their motives should go unchallenged.
I don't accept this view.
I agree that they probably make little or no money from many of the players they sign , but that does not stop the mad stampede to sign each years new crop of schoolboys does it.
How many of your Randwick players in the better teams , don't have a manager ?
And a number of managers I have spoken with , have had very scant knowledge about Rugby & the associated realities of playing it.
