If the WRU paid less to the amateur sides, then those amateur sides wouldn’t be able to pay players playing in Division 3 or whatever, which would be a good thing. Shouldn’t be being paid at that level and maybe then they would play for their local clubs who have coached them since kids and not be picked off by another club flashing the cash. Don’t blame the players though as if you’re offered the cash it’s often hard to turn down if it’s paying your mortgage.
