Maybe you should have posted the above on the Stains board that when Farrell, Robinson and Ashton then, but most were too busy frothing at the mouth to agree.'"
Farrell and Robinson was great rugby league players and I would have loved them to stay in league even if I was Wigan. |

Well seeing he has just comitted five more years to Wigan would say otherwise. You're telling me if he hadn't signed a long contract he wouldn't attract such money? |

Unfortunately 90% of your fellow supporters didn't share your views. If only we could get the link to the Andy Farrell to Rugby Union thread on the Saints board back in 2004.  |

I hated Farrell with a passion when he was playing for Wigan but loved him for great Britain.
Thought he was awesome the year he played prop for Wigan, he was a one man team.
I didnt want him to leave league, we need all the best players we can get to beat them convicts!

If Sam wanted £200,000 a year from Union he could of got it easily. But instead he signed a 5 year contract with us. |

I'm not buying that, rugby union not been after Sam. Kyle is highly sought after as they think he's going to be next Jason Robinson. |

Hes not fit to lace Robinsons boots, Sam is a better player and has already achieved more. |

Let's be honest, if Ashton can be a sensation in RU, then Eastmond certainly can.
The lack of tackling will suit them both.
Ashton doesn't have to make any, and Eastmond won't get injured in any.
Perfect arrangement. They could even do a Billy Beaumont and still be playing for England when they're 48. |

Nice choice of words, very grown up.
Would Sam turn down £200,000 a year to stay at Wigan?
Would Wigan match £200,000 a year? |

He signed a five year deal before last season.
He then signed a new five year deal before this season.
Prior to signing his initial five year deal I couldn't tell you how long he had left, Bilko might (he updates player contracts on Cherryandwhite). Probably less than one year I'd expect.
So in effect we tied Sam up as soon as it came clear what a talent he was and before the vultures from RU / NRL came in and swiped off with the best Wigan youngster since Shaun Edwards. |

Well if they want him, it will cost them £2 million+ to release him. |
