He would be wasted at full back- he would never see the ball and when he did he would be expected to clear his lines plus the fact England RU seem to have Foden comfortably at full back as well as Owen Farrell and George Ford coming through at 10, at Fly Half his running game would be wrecked.
If Sam goes anywhere it will be the NRL, I wouldn't be suprised to see him join up with Madge at Souths.
Joels a different kettle of fish though hes big agile and had a good all round game, he will be take mike tindalls place for sure.'"
Great isn't it, another 2 lost to Union.
The way things are going I will stop watching League in Britain. We are becoming a feeder sport and I would much rather watch and start to follow an NRL team, who are the top of the food chain than watch our code simply become and accept more crucially that we are nothing more than a union production line.
Sam would be a sensation in any of the backline positions in union except perhaps inside centre.

| Quote: Cruncher "Every time a star player re-signs for a club, you hear this same crap - other players are not happy about it. And how often the story comes from fans of other clubs.
All first-teamers are pretty well-paid at Wigan these days. So if these underachieving malcontents can find someone who'll do them a better deal, then, as others have said, fair enough. Let 'em go and kick-start their careers elsewhere. I hear there are lots of opportunities in the bottom half of the table.'"
Can we have them at Leigh Cruncher?

I remember the days when Hanley, Edwards and Gregory would go and demand a wage rise as soon as they found out one of the others got one. They supposedly usually got the pay rise as well. The thing is though they were all top class players and you didn't see Ged Byrne following them in asking for the same because he knew he would never get it! I suspect few if any of our players think they are in a position to make similar demands as truly great players and I also suspect they are quite happy to get paid what they are worth when they have proven they are actually worth something.
Sam getting a big day ought to tell them that if you are good enough then they to can aspire to be in that pay bracket. If they can't and go into a sulk then they have the wrong attitude.
The only exception to this is if some of the young first team players are on a pittance. There were rumours Charnely was looking for a part time job he was on so little. No idea if there was anything in that but even then that would just be wrong in itself regardless of Sam's new deal.

Your dead right with that post DaveO, if it is true, then those players should, in my opinion be grateful to be playing for a team like Wigan, lots of players can only dream about that.
