I don't see why, just because he is injured he would sit indoors every evening watching eastenders and not have a life, he is a person and has a life after all and entitled (just like all of us who post on here) to do as he pleases in his spare time.
I'm aware of the rumours as to how he hurt his foot and as frustrated as everyone else that Sam isn't on the pitch. I also accept that sometimes accidents happen.
I'd also be willing to wager MM has been out a few times in the last 12 months too.'"
The difference is is that we aren't in the spotlight or public eye all the time whereas Sam is, he chose to be a professional sportsman and as such has to live with media attention whether he likes it or not. |

I doubt anyone has a major issue with players going out and having a drink (within reason) , sadly some players cannot seem to do that without getting themselves into trouble or misbehaving in some way. There have been many instances at most clubs over the years of players having issues out on the town. Whereas there are probably many other players who do go out and have a drink or two and manage to never get themselves into trouble but these you do not hear about.
Sadly there are many individuals out there who will gleefully seize on any perceived misbehaviour and report it in lots of details to anyone who cares to listen, as a professional sports person, any rugby player should have a duty of care not only to themselves in keeping them physically in top shape (and alcohol is a detriment to that) but to represent the club as well. |

This "we should cut our losses" attitude gets me. How on earth do people expect that to happen? If Sam doesn't want to retire, which at his age I very much doubt he would, then he is under contract and unless we sell him we have to pay up and wait.
How many clubs would take a punt on an injured player and match his salary?
If this doesn't work out then I'm afraid no-one is to blame. The club did the right thing bringing him back. Imagine the meltdown if he'd gone to Sale.

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

If true, as opposed to a sports injury caused by playing or training in an official club session, then he's very lucky.
I know plenty of people who've been injured (not work-related) and been put on sick pay or SSP with their employers: some have even become unemployed. |

Have you ever considered that maybe Wigan have been lucky to have the games outstanding talent in their squad for most of his career?
Maybe we should just sack him then, let Warrington pick him up for nothing, then enjoy the inevitability of watching Sam beat us in a Grand Final.
Once he gets over this injury he will spend the next few seasons, probably at half back, proving his outstanding talent yet again. Don't doubt it.

Aye, no running for a week he's said on twitter. After that I presume he's looking at a couple of months so mid June maybe.
All debate aside let's hope this is his last setback and we can finally see him back in some good form.
