This might actually have legs this time - the Kiwis are apparently sounding out replacements

(can we afford him though?)

If the Marquee Player Allowance is voted in then this shouldn't be an issue.

Assuming the rules are brought in in June, he would be free on Wigans cap, or at worst 200k which should be covered with Patrick and Bowen (it depends on the proper wording, which I havent seen).

TBy, Wigan/ Saints rivalry aside, I hope he comes back, though I can't see it, and didn't the exact same report come out last year?

Hopefully, how close was the vote on this last time, didn't only a few vote 'yes'?

Just watch Rugby Union now table an absolutely and utterly ridiculous offer than no one in RL can match. Then we'll have two Sams sitting mega-rich, but completely wasting their careers instead of just one.

I'd be amazed if they didn't. He might not fancy it though. I would expect Salford will throw a wedge at him too if he wants out. Will NZ warriors want a fee??

Maybe not, Wane can be a bit stubborn when he makes a statement, Sam may have to play standoff if the rumour is true. icon_surprised.gifops:

It says there that Shaun will be asked about this after tonight's match.
No doubt it will be Phil W doing the asking.
SW's answer will be interesting.
I hope he doesn't fall into the "safeyt net" of saying he isn't commenting on speculation.

I'd have Sam back like a shot!

If nothing else, we can live in hope that big brother will fill his head with an eye-witness account of how crap Union is.

Given that he's missed the ru world cup I am hopeful he will indeed return. For all the flack IL is currently getting, his track record of recapturing the prodigals is faultless.
