Perhaps, I did consider including it in the post, however it'd be too easy for a coach to just continue picking a player on the bench to avoid triggering the payment if that was the case with no particular detriment to the team.
For example Nick Scruton made 77 Appearances for Leeds in all but only 16 of those were in the run-on side and it took him 35 of those Appearances to make his full debut.
