[b:2q2mjndn]"What was it like out there Sam?"[/b:2q2mjndn]
"F*cking hard mate"
Queensland great Sam Backo live on telly to nine's Tim Sheridan after being named man of the match in a state of origin game in 1988.: |

| Is Sam leaves this year who would you like to replace him? As far as my opinion goes we dont have anyone half as good coming through to fill a void like the one he will leave should he depart so im in no doubt we will have to look elswhere to remain competiitve next season here are 5 Full backs i would like to see us going for:
1: Ben Barber - Top of my wishlist, cant see it but stranger things have happened.
2: Karmichael Hunt - Awesome Asutralian test international only to lose his place to the great Billy Slater.
3: Matty Russell - Talent in abundance, one we could be saying in a couple of years as "the one that got away" would love to see him back after a years experiance in OZ and once again pull on a Wigan shirt.
4: Kevin Locke - Very fast individual could be a possibility as there has been some speculation of a swap deal plus cash with Sam.
5: Jarryd Hayne - Class act not sure if we could bring him in as the EEL's seem to be building a winning team for next year at present.

| Quote: Eastbourne Warrior "A lot will depend on whether Wane thinks Tierney will be ready for a regular spot. Also when Sam goes. If Sam goes for 2014 I think we will have to look for a short term replacement. If Sam stays for 2014 I think Tierney could be ready for 2015 with a bit more game time next year. He certainly showed against Widnes he has the potential, runs good lines and looked to have a decent set of hands.'"

| All he has said is that he hasnt signed for another club! According to the terms of the contract he signed he shouldn't even be talking to another club. I see he hasn't denied that....

| Who ever said that Sam has talked to another club?
Maybe it is the club who have instigated everything.
Perhaps Sam was happy with the 3 year clause and wanted to play those years out at Wigan then see how he feels. Suddenly he finds the club are offering him to all and sundry and especially those who will cough up the dosh.
Perhaps this "I've not signed for any other club" is him starting to decide that his club for the next number of years will be Wigan.
A declaration from Sam that he will se his full contract out at Wigan would be very nice.

| Just a thought, but maybe Sam saying he hasn't signed for any other club is a bit like Sam saying: "I can promise you Wigan are not signing Andy Powell. this isn't happening" about three weeks before Wigan announced they had signed Andy Powell

It would also be hugely different than merely stating he hasn't signed for another club (yet?). I took no comfort whatsoever from his statement whereas the OP took it to mean he wasn't going anywhere.
