Far too much for a park footballer |

good to see he didnt go for the money'"
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. |

From memory of the whole Harris saga Sam, don't you have to have a valid playing contract in order to hold a player's registration with the RFL?
Bradford might have something written into his release agreement that says they have first option on his return, but we've all seen what that is worth. |

Having said that doubt there is any forwards in NRL on more than $300k a year'"
Come on JB, you never heard of the "living away from home allowance?"
This means that he ex-pats lviing here on a temp residency visa of sorts will be taxed AFTER his rent is deducted.
Hasn't he moved out of Crowe's place a while ago now anyway? Check it out. |

You're right. It's the option in the event of his return I think I meant  |

makes you wonder, what would have stopped Rusty giving him a couple of hundred,000 whilst over in the UK and Sam sticking it in his UK or overseas account. Nobody would be the wiser and as said if he was asking for $400k (probably closer to what he could get in UK) it is doubtful he would have signed such a long deal for less than $300k.

How many uk players are earning around £250,000?
I'd be surprised if burgess didn't get a big pay rise when he joined souths

Its a bit of a myth that all these players ear a quarter mill etc when in the UK.
The main thing was the tax dodge for 40% of your earnings

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. |
