Me, touchy? , not at all, but also not blinkered either as it seems many are on here ,Barlow is a decent player, just a shame he seems more interested in being the pantomime villain than actually playing the game as a grown up

I'll leave it there

I love big Sam
Ok he has a mean streak but that's what makes him the player he is .
I've watched him all season and he's kept a lid on it most of the time

Sam Barlow has been great for Leigh this season , he is a real Character and is just what the game needs , he feeds off the Fans as the Fans do off him , whatever folk think of him he has contributed to a great season ,Thanks Sam .We all have our Fave players , im a big fan of Ryan Brierley ,but for me one star this season has to be Tom Armstrong , must be the BEST centre in this League ,has had a great season , took a bit of stick physically but never shirked anything , again thanks Tom .

Sam is a character who will always provide entertainment as his type of player does, he loves being the target man for the oppositions own hard men. Next season some of them will be smarter.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to begin name calling one of our players of the year is at best bewildering.

Have a look at Sam stats for the season and the yardage made last night.

Verbals go on in the game all season. Sam gives and takes it, Fev couldn't.

What is a disgrace is Crookes deliberate attack on Sam that should have earned a red card.

To read any Leigh fan labelling Sam a nob and good riddance is staggering!

Unless you have seen the contract first hand its probably not wise to believe all the hype surrounding Sam.

This has got to bethe most cringeworthy post I have ever seen on here. Just think how happy you'd be if you ran the club like its being run now. Ahh well.

I've just read it again. Jesus, it really does say what I thought it did.

Sam has been brilliant, the yards he makes and his skill at offloading are exceptional. He has a bit of a hot head at times but he seems to improveing it. As to him going to Leeds, anyone think it's slighly a coincidence this romour which has never been mentioned by Leigh, Leeds, Sam or any of th press started right after the Leeds game? Until it's in an official press release I don't beleive it and will be looking forward to seeing Sam next season.

Why has there been no announcement of a full time contract for next season for him like the rest of the squad? His two year deal with us is part time. Can't see him being the only member of the squad on a part time deal.

The number of tries he's created in recent weeks is absolutely unreal. And as for him being a "tool", he was taking head shots and verbals all over the shop last night and as far as I can tell didn't react once, despite Fev's best attempts. Says it all when Hardman went running to the referee complaining about what was clearly a non incident considering it was he and not Barlow who headed off to the sin bin.

If Leeds come in for him as rumoured then I certainly wouldn't begrudge him a chance at the big time, but if he builds on this season and stays with us then that'd be an incredible boost for next year.

I agree Both Sam s need to stay
We don't want to lose any of the team
Even if some have already signed elsewhere for next season they've given there all for us anyway and like Sam they usually come back , Hilly being the only one that probably won't .

I think Sam Barlow has been outstanding for us this season as have many others.

I see on the thread about who has signed up for next season Nostradamus's lad posted on June 19 that Sam Barlow has signed.

Agree with Lynda too that it would be great to have Sam Hopkins back next season as our player again.

Don't know, maybe together, Sam, Rowley and Beaumont have decided to focus on finishing the season 1st, maybe they wanted to take a break and focus on winning the league before getting back to signings (like we did just before the Challenge Cup game). Could be hundreds of reasons, don't think we should just jump to the conclusion that he's going.
