#2. Handre Pollard – Leicester Tigers (£600,000)
Tigers shelled out £600,000 per season to sign World Cup winning Springbok fly-half Handre Pollard from Montpellier over the summer.
He missed the start of the season due to a mix of international duty and injury. The 28-year-old then made a calamitous debut as Tigers were smashed by Saracens, lasting just 27 minutes.
Replacing George Ford was always going to be a struggle, and the early signs could be that Tigers have overpaid for Pollard.
