Every Gallagher Premiership club’s highest paid player has been ranked based on their value to the team.
We have taken a stab at seeing which stars are worth the money they make in regards to what they do on the field.
Seven players such as Harlequins playmaker Marcus Smith and Sale Sharks scrum-half Faf de Klerk make the top tier thanks to being true focal points of their team.
But a fair few are in the bottom tier after barely contributing in the top-flight.
Check out the entire list below, with all data coming from Spotrac.
