Outstanding player and person. Deserves every reward that comes his way. The lifestyle itself is worth any amount of money and he'll be most likely banking practically everything he earns.

Wish we could produce ten a year like Sam Burgess.

Exactly.

People need to remember how young he is, his contract at Bradford was probably his second(?) as a pro and won't have been that lucrative, though his next one would have been.

and he could name his price for his next contract and there'll be no shortage of takers...

wouldn't surprise me if he spent the next decade at souths.

maybe..i can see brisbane spending some of that salary cap they are sitting on one day.....he defo won't be coming home though....thinks he's already said that in the aussie press recently?

Isn't it strange how with some players you don't mind them getting a 'decent' wage because they come across as good people. Others however...
