I don't think any (or many) of us actually want to know the exact salary details of our players but they do have a funny way of usually coming out via the press n the higher profile cases.
And I think it is only natural that we will be intrigued by them given we are all working within a salary cap system and the challenges and opportunities this presents. And I think it's na�ve to think we won't speculate.
I thought Sammy was gone purely out of economics but it's pretty much standard that happy players will stay for what they can get elsewhere and that good players can always get more elsewhere if they are dollar driven. It's why it's so much better if you can build your own list - look at the mess Collingwood are in with the likes of Mayne getting $500,000 a year.
It's none of our business I know but I'd be surprised if Sammy was on much less than $700,000 a year for the remainder of his deal.
