33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| Quote: Nogga "What's going on with him at all? Is he fit? Noticed he didn't play in the U20's this week. Hardly played for the first team all year. Seems Goulding and Marsh are ahead of him if a back gets injured. I'd imagine he's on a fair wage so its quite annoying.
Add that Fielden and Gleeson haven't featured all year and that's a fair chunk of the cap we've been playing without all season.
Can we get rid of Roberts next season or are we stuck with him for another year? Can't afford to carry players in a salary cap sport.'"
Gleeson has not featured on the salary for quite some time.

Roberts was sublime for a third of our season last year - a cert for MOS, had he not smashed his leg into the posts then we'd probably be sat at the top of the league right now having enjoyed a week off. But hey ho.'" And Sam would still be a stand off.

| At his age to come back from so many ops to be an outstanding talent once again is a tough ask, that doesn't even contemplate what phychological effects recent events have had on Amos.
Secondly are we in a position to give Amos first team action? Many think moving Sam into the halves is the solution, which is questionable considering his best games have been as a fb. Seems silly to move him from a position where he has a free role in attack allowing Sam to express himself fully in attack.
I don't think I've seen Amos have a particularly good game on the wing, plus I would pick Josh and Pat over him any day of the week.
In conclusion considering his age and our current line up I have to say Amos should move on. We could use his cap salary and quote space to enhance the team in key areas. I.e a centre 6 or 9.

| I think the only way Amos can be brought back into the team is via the wing. His confidence is completely shot and it would destroy him to throw him out at fullback where he is most exposed and has set high standards not only with his own form but with Sams aswell.
If he does stay at Wigan next year i'd like to see the new coach at least try Amos at 2 and Charnley at 3 to see how it goes.
