I brought Sam from football where he was highly regarded to Rugby when he was 12 and then coached him at community, school and Academy level.

He has a great force of character, aggression and positivity which he spreads to his team mates. As has already been said by others he gives nothing less than 100% in everything and crucially the more the adversity builds the more he doubles down and gets stuck in to the opposition and his own team if necessary. I’d want him stood with me in a battle!

He has good footwork, reads plays very well on both sides of the ball and has an equally good attacking game as defence.

I don’t know if this is a compliment or not but Wigan have tried to take him from Huddersfield numerous times since he was 16. They (Matty Peet) saw a bit of Jon Bateman in him.

Anyway, I hope he goes well during his stint at Trinity

It's not that simple regarding Miller, there was more to it than that as I think you well know. However, moving on,I personally was not that bothered, we have had a good run from him and had is best years.
However !!!! not to replace him with someone as good or preferably better was rank incompetence in my opinion.

Completely agree. I expected a replacement and was looking forward to our options at half. That has not gone well.
Possibly, and it is only possibly, Smith will turn out to be that guy.

If he is given a chance when Gaskell is back.

Windrow picked up a ban in the reserves apparently

And this is the reason why our trajectory has not been upward for 5 years. And it's not all about money.

1. MC is an excellent CFO, but is not a CEO. Yes, I know it says "CEO" on his office door, but a CEO he is not. Richard Branson is a CEO. And think about it before you retort saying Branson was born a rich man.
2. Director of Rugby - Directors of Rugby, often possess a rich history of playing / coaching, spend many hours networking with agents and players alike, maintain good local scouting contacts, and benefit from a real eye for talent. They live and breathe RL. They have to.

This is not a dig by the way, far from it. MC has given blood, sweat and tears for Trin and we are all grateful.
