Beleive it or not as a Saints fan I genuinely hope he stays at Wigan.

I would much rather he went to the NRL though rather than a move to Union which might not suit his game/style of play.
Unfortunately, unless something is done in financial terms we are going to see more and more of the better players in Super League gravitating towards the NRL. Contracts money aside he would make a fortune in Australia ( as he would do in Union)

I'm certain nearly every team in the NRL would like to sign him given the opportunity. World class players simply don't come along very often these days.

It will make it a much easier pill to swallow if Sam goes to the NRL. We can still enjoy watching him play this great sport as well as him turning out for England. I really cant see him going to Union and to be honest part of me expects Joel to come back to League next season.

What I can see happening in the next year or two is for Sam to dump the Pies for a few years in Australia,then come back to England to sign for the mighty Wire, his boyhood club.

That may be right.
Sam goes to Aus when he's 25. Plays there for six or seven years as Moz did then returns with Wire signing him at 32/3 on a four year deal.
His age is right for a Wire signing so that might not be far off!
