The official line taken from elsewhere..

Prior to Christmas I saw Sam regularly at DW gym in Halifax. He was training on the things that his back allowed him to do.
He always spoke fondly of Leigh and his desire to get back to full fitness WITH LEIGH.
The reason I say prior to Christmas is that I haven't been since, I have no reason the believe Sam has stopped going.
Sam is a great bloke, give him a break with all these conspiracy theories.
Best of luck the aft.

This issue is a keep it in house but i dont think we will see Sam play again for Leigh could be wrong so before the bullets fly lets wait and see but i see their has been no statement from Leigh not like our Chairman to set things straight

Well there has been a statement, think it was Derek Beaumont who said he didn't come to the sponsor's day squad number night thingy as he had a bad back, was waiting for an operation and had been advised by doctors to avoid traveling. Club can't constantly re-issue statements for every rumour that doesn't go away. Don't know why you want to hear it from Michael Norris.

I don't know if we'll see him play for Leigh again, I certainly hope so though.

As TV BOY says, Fishy.

Is he tagged?
