The Daily Telegraph breaks down how Perpignan's Dan Carter could justify his first hefty pay cheque - he is on a reported £30,000 per week deal.
"Perpignan’s bean counters may use a different method, but this is how fly-half Dan Carter could have earned his crust on debut on Sunday:
4 penalty goals at £2,000 a piece to seal a great home win for Perpignan - £8,000
2 conversions at £1,500 each to add the icing £3,000
7 tackles at £1,000 each to show he’s not just a good-looking bloke - £7,000
19 passes at around £400 each to free up the hard-running backline - £7,600
15 kicks at £400 each to keep the home side on the front foot - £6,000
1 clean break at £400 ... this boy can kick and run - £400
3 high takes at £200 to keep Leicester at bay - £600
But deductions of £2,600 for two missed penalty kicks, two knock-ons and two missed tackles.
Total earnings £30,000"
