| I just hope that once he has had enough of playing in the NRL that we get first choice when he returns!

While I certainly agree that there would be only one destination in SL if he were ever to return, the question remains, would he return?
On this I'll stay skeptical that he won't and be pleasantly surprised if he does.
I'll be interested to see what the party line is with regards to him supposidly not being allowed to leave for 3 years.

What are you on about now? Skeptical about what? IL? If that is your stance you are making it up.
As with everything if he does something good he gets the plaudits and if he does the opposite he does not. I think you will find a positive view from myself regarding the special contract Sam signed when he signed it.
Now that appears to be worthless I can't express my view because I was skeptical?
What I am not afraid to do is precede any post that [idoes[/i criticize IL with "He's been great for Wigan but....." just so I can stay onside with the likes you.

Is that the best you can do?

Until you do the same thing again. I don't anticipate I'll be waiting long.

Don't forget in the meantime if IL does something you disagree with and you can bring yourself to post to precede any comments with "He's been great for Wigan but....."

| He'll go to the NRL, then union and maybe a swansong at Wigan.
Good luck to him, he's a once in a generation talent and should strive to achieve everything he can in his career.

I think that's exactly what he will do.

There won't be much meantime if your past record is anything to go by.

| Where does Wane fit into all this? Would Sam join the Warriors and want Wane to head out there with him? Could we be starting next season with a new coach?

| Quote: MattyB "It makes depressing reading (it was inevitable really).
This so reminds me of the time Hanley fooked off to Leeds!
going to go back to what i posted in the Hock thread a few months ago.......the board was in meltdown, people wondering how we would replace Hock.
I used Hanley as an example..it gave a certain Andy Farrell chance to show what he could do.
I said i was looking forward to seeing who would step into Hocks boots......turns out its Liam Faz, ..had Hock still been here Faz would probably still be covering on the bench , as opposed to being a 80 minute player...and i seriously dont think many would replace Faz with Hock the way things have turned out.
Sam? unique, superstar, irreplaceable? NO.
No one player makes a team......im again looking forward to see who steps in .

| There's no way he'll go to the NRL for just 2 years and come back to Wigan - only way he will is if he gets injured and they don't offer him a new deal, or he completely bombs over there - which I don't think he will.
Wigan fans have to realise he's over there for the long haul, providing he does as everyone expects, and could be into his 30's by the time he comes back, if at all - if he's settled and on a decent wedge, why come back just for a season or two? If he had any sentiment to the club, he wouldn't be going in the first place.
