Quote: Mr Churchill "There is a good chance Sam has never even seen a game of RU (live) if he's played RL every weekend since he was age 8!
Guess he'll be amazed about how much time he'll have during an RU game standing around doing nothing.
Hope he doesn't get over frustrated only getting the ball in his hands 6 times a match rather than 36 in RL.
Hope he wears a scrum cap in RU to protect v any publicity-seeking idiots trying to smash his face.
Age 25 now. 3 easy years in RU. That gives him the last and best 4 years of his life to tear it up back in RL again before retiring at the top (including RL World Cups in 2017 & 2021).'"
It's the move to Bath that's baffling, I attended a few of their games recently and it's such a slow & stop start sport, it's gonna be a massive change in pace from the NRL. I'd have thought such a high profile player like Sam would've been more attracted to the much faster Super 15 or a seriously big money side like Toulon.
