Apparently Sandow got £35k final bonuses that was written into his contract to get him something like the £230k per annum he was asking for,....apparently.
After he paid off Leon, he was left with £600...allegedly.
Bought a flight and returned to Aus without anyone knowing...apparently, leaving Bob the kit man knocking on the door of an empty house ahead of taking him to the airport with a ticket already bought by the club for him...apparently.
Other players bonuses were around £5k for the final appearance....apparently!
From what I gather prize money in Super League is something like
CC winner £120k, runner up £55k
GF winner £100k, runner up £50k
LLS £100k
There are no rules as to how much, if any, of that the club have to give to the players or how they distribute it but only prize money is exempt from the salary cap. So you are saying that Sandow had it written into his contract that he would get 11% of the maximum possible prize money (17% of what we actually won)?!!! This tops your statement that Currie would choose to stay with us rather than go to Saints because our prize money will be greater (to save you doing the maths, Saints' money was double that of ours last season).
