between £19,000 - £40-000 a year, The ruby elite will get paid near the £100,000 a year mark, but you could probably count them on your two hands. The Rugby elite will also earn more through sponsorship etc. Bear in mind that in Ruby League there is a cap on what a squad of players can be paid, the cap is up to 1 million pounds a year, but take into consideration that there are sometimes up to thirty players in a Rugby League squad.
This varies depending on where you play, how important a player you are and what league you play in. For example. A run of the mill prop forward playing for a league 2 club may get paid £100 a win, while a star halfback may get £300 a win. Being paid per game/win is common in semi pro RL. However some semi pros are offered full time contracts as community development officers or in other roles, meaning the work for the club full time as well as play and train part time. Professionals in Super League and the NRL are paid a salary as full time pros, ranging from anything around £15k a year to £200k a year and beyond. We can only guess as to what they get paid though as it is very rarely disclosed. Salary in SL and the NRL is controlled by the salary cap. Star players well known to the public can also secure extra income from sponsorship. All in all it depends on how good a player you are, the kind of club yoou attract, and the kind of contract you negotiate.
Much more then Australian Rugby League players
A super league rugby player typically gets paid anywhere from £50,000 - £100,000 a year. However, it will depend on which team they work for.
Rugby League players in Australia get paid very low. Their average yearly income is about 200 thousand. If you compare Rugby League to other sports such as, AFL, NFL, major league and NBA, Rugby League is like a welfare payment. Rugby League is the toughest sport. It's fast and rought. Countries that are developing Rugby League such as Amercia and Lebanon, their players don't get paid at all. NRL (National Rugby League) which is running in Australia, has a salary cap. That's the reason why, Rugby League players are so under-paid. The highest paid rugby league player in Australia is about 500k for 3 years. Super League in England is better than NRL, at least their payment are double then the ones in NRL.
Well I think that a rugby player should be paid alot because that person is repesenting the country.
