To be honest it probably makes sense for him to prove himself in the NRL.
Having played all his career in SL and considering he's a current World Champion, Four Nations Champion plus Grand Final Winner he'd be going over with a big reputation. Could make some serious cash and I wouldn't blame him either.

TBH for next year if Sam is going to go back to 6, I would like to see Hodges & Brett Stewart come in.
Stewart
Goulding, Hodges, Charnley, Richards
S Tomkins, Finch
Fielden, Leuluai, Prescott
J. Tomkins Hansen
Lockers

Farrell, Lima, McIllorum, Mossop

The dirty devil.

i'd take a look at

Nathan Merritt
Matt Bowen
Junior Sa'u
Ben Pomeroy

Pomeroy would be a top signing IMO

Craig Bellamy already there.

I got told last week g*****n was going to leeds but all sorts of rumors are flying around about him

Agreed he would be a fantastic signing for ant club in SL. Big strong very powerful. Think he may have visa trouble though think he got done for smacking someone at a concert.

Hock?

Brett Stewart and hodges? That's at least 600 k of your cap gone! So the rest are sharing a million then?

You are totally out of touch with what marquee nrl players earn, how strong the Aussie $ is Against the pound, what they can also earn outside the cap as the game is so massive over here. and how much of a $hit hole Wigan and most of the uk is compared to manly, brisi and most of Australia.

Hmmm for a bloke who post utter tosh 99% of the time these a pretty realistic signings for sl. Will still be looking at big contracts but more realistic than some of the totally miss guided people on here

Well it is nice to dream.

We could just bring in duffers like Weller Hauraki and Ben Cross instead. Nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy.

Weller was awesome for crusaders last season and obviously filled a whole in our cap. I was very much underwhelmed by signing Cross but we needed a prop due to the JP injury at Cas the last week in august, we found out late in the season there was little on the Market. I would have rather given Amor and ambler game time but I'm just a punter who doesn't even go to the games now.

Donald, kylie, Delaney, hauarki cross! Leeds have for a few seasons have brought in average nrl players and looked to get value out of them. Donald and kylie were/are awesome Delaney has promise so does Weller! I'm not sold on cross.

But with the strength of the Aussie $ average nrl players in the next few years is all we are gonna get as a league! we should all
Hope the turn out to be quality like Donald, kylie, Carmont , Richards

To be fair, Huaraki would have been a decent signing for a team trying to make up the top 8, he is a poor signing for a team with the credentials of leeds. Mind you we have done alright out of a relitive unknown in Carmont, so i am prepared to give him the benifit of the doubt.

Cross offer's very little and seems more concerned with picking on the little fellas. I suppose Leeds need a bit of biff with Peabrain being injured, but swinging for Sam is laughable.

I think 99.9 % of players love to smash sam! A because he's a big threat but B because he's seen as the player who cheats with snide tactics(all the arm locks milking pens)! Overtaken Bailey and big willie as the most hated player in the game because of his skill and his cheating.
