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.

Charlie's comments are right on the money.
We knew exactly what we were getting when we signed Sam Barlow - many of us had seen him on many occasions playing against us and other teams.
Would we have been better off without him this season?
Was he a shrewd signing?
Has he delivered?
Has he added anything to the crackling atmosphere and the entertainment value of our team in this brilliant season?
Anyone in any doubt should ask Paul Rowley or the vast majority of Leigh fans.
Sam has paid back Paul's faith in him - in spades. His sublime game breaking offloads have been well worth the admission money on their own, let alone the shed loads of work he has got through - depleting the energy levels of the opposition forwards week in week out.
I am also very pleased for Sam Hopkins who is now fully "rehabilitated" and back playing at the level we know he is capable of. His tackles last night were right out of the 'Aussie Bell Ringing Guide to Tackle Technique'. Come back for keeps Sam - this is where you belong.

| 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.

| First of all Sam Barlow has been a revelation at Leigh and credit must also go to young Rowley for getting the very best out of him. Easily the new signing of the season, despite Liam Kays superb performances.
When you look at the Leeds side you can see why Leeds would be interested in Sam. Rob Burrows would relish zipping through off one of his off loads.
As for the Leeds rumours young Rowley alluded to an alledged meeting between Leeds officials and one of our players in response to Brian MCDermotts criticism of our tactics.
I also agree with Charlie regarding Tom Armstrong. What a class act this young man is becoming. He really is developing in to a top top centre in the game. He can go far.
And finally with Steve mentioning the amount of money he has put in, when I add up how much money I have spent on this club since going off to work at the age of 15 right upto the match last night I bet I am not to far behind him.. He will be surprised. A frightening amount over many many years.
I would spend it all again tommorrow. I love the club. It has been there with me every step of my life. I talk about it everyday to everyone. I must bore a lot of people half to death he he.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Thought last night Barlow had an excellent game. Have made some remarks about him historically regarding his antics, but purely based on his rugby would love him to stay, based on his other side I wouldn't. As for Tom Armstrong he would be the first player I would drop. Couldn't believe my eyes last night when he actually passed the ball!! He does some very good things, but is a very greedy and selfish player.

| Any how Steve that n0b as you call him will still be a Leigh player next year, maybe you can pass on your thoughts personally to Sam at the Workington game?
