Quote: Aboveusonlypie "Anyone who follows the NRL regularly will know that Sam had an excellent season last season. He scored 13 tries which was more than Billy Slater and Greg Inglis and made 11 assists IIRC. He wasn't found out defensively either. He got a lot of credit for his courage too. Ok he didn't rip it up like in Super League but he did just fine.
He will end up playing half back where his ball handling skills will help to compensate for the inevitable loss of his blistering pace, as the injuries take their toll.
Sam is a once in a generation player. I wanted him back at Wigan more than any player in the world. I'll put up with the odd injury or dropped catch to see his genius back in Super League. Couldn't be happier.'"
I thought he had a reasonable to good season without being outstanding.
The fact he has shown his desire to return to Super League does not make me feel his NRL experience was a success in any measure.
This season has hardly seen him on the field may be bad luck with injury.
