RL should be throwing money at him to get him back. He's a genuine superstar and could be the difference between us winning the next World Cup. Hopefully he sees sense and returns asap

he returned to training at Bath yesterday. This is one of the most important decisions he will now make in his career. Stay in Union, potential to be continuously chastised and then get to an age where a return to League wouldn't be possible due to loss of fitness, muscle and core skills.

I think he needs to come back to League

Thee Leeds story has surfaced again. If SB comes back to RL could it be a years at Leeds before Souths? Will there be a compromise - finish the season at Bath then Souths? Or will it be all Bath / all Souths?

I really can't see him taking a wage cut to go to Leeds. It'll be the NRL if he comes back to League - which he needs to do now. Just wasted in union.

It would be a massive coup for the game over here if Leeds did sign him, however if one of Leeds or Souths sign him I will be happy either way.

If Bath refuse to let him break his contract would Sam be willing to sit it out? I guess not.

I think the thinking is that he'll go to Leeds for a year, as the NRL clubs are at full cap, and then go back to Souths. Which is probably the best scenario for all concerned, SL and Leeds get the publicity, but then Sam gets to go back to the superior NRL and get back in monster form for the world cup.

A lot of NRL clubs won't be at full cap, there's a lot more moving between now and the start of the season.

Who's not at full cap?

But would he want to play for anyone but Souths? He and Crowe see very close, and then of course there's his brothers.
