I think that's exactly what he will do. |

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

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

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?

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.

So you seriously think he's only gonna go over there for 2 years and come rushing back to Wigan and take a massive drop in salary? |

If SL remains the poor man in the rugby world, he will most likely go to onion rather than SL in this country... |

I think we can all work out what the possibilities are, but I can't forecast the exact state of affairs in two years time. And neither can you. |

Does anyone know if he has a girlfriend/wife who may get homesick resulting in him coming home early. Clutching at straws but the Aussies do it to us all the time.

Does my memory deceive, or did Renouf miss his pet camel while here? |

Sam could have rendered a crystal ball redundant in his post match interview but chose not to. He didn't even reiterate his "I haven't signed for another club" comment. I know to some he doesn't have to, but it didn't come across as anything other than evasive to me.
Plenty on here seem to be waiting for facts before commenting. I hope I'm wrong but I think you'll have your facts soon enough. |

From what I’ve heard about the lad He loves his Mum (who doesn’t) and I think he may not stay too long in Oz, he may get home sick. So I think he will have a relatively short stay in Oz, come back home, and have a great career in the dark-side. We may never see him in rugby league again here, never mind in a Wigan shirt. Hope I’m wrong!
