| I personally view a move to the NRL as the lesser of two evils.
If Sam ended up in Union as is a distinct possibility, i would have no other option but to hope him the absolute worst (in sporting terms obviously) and would find it quite easy to turn my admiration and respect for the best RL player i have seen in the flesh, into one of pure negativity.
The thought of watching the jewel in the crown of Super League, walking out at Twicker's angers me no end.
I would be sad to see him go to the NRL, but i would wish him the best of luck.
Regardless of which option he takes. To see him swan of to whichever club, in whichever code, for zero financial reward, will be a hard pill to swallow.
He should never forget that he owes WRLFC a massive debt of gratitude, without which he would not be in this position.
He has to do what is right for him, but i would hope he will do what is right and beneficial for the club.

| 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!
