No. I'm guessing Sam's mind is made up and he's told his manager of the move to RL he wants.
The messages coming out of the Bath RU hierarchy are just an attempt to get as big a transfer fee as possible. But they didn't seem too bothered about the question of honouring contracts when Sam was tapped up and induced to leave South Sydney.
Sam is also being well advised. Turn up. Train. Say nothing publicly. Play if asked - all so contract is not breached.
Then you have Hetherington - also saying the right things but this time so as to minimise any transfer fee. I don't care how much money the Bath owner might have left, he won't be able to out-canny GH.
All means it takes time, especially if the deal has to cover the financial arrangements for Leeds for 2016 and Souths for 2017+.
But, as you see in soccer, if a player doesn't want to play for a particular club or if his heart isn't in it, they will always get the move in the end.
Will be glad when Sam is finally back in RL and we can get on with the game and leave the Union lot to get on with their own game.
