Well if that is the teams that were wanting his services then he is better off staying at The Shay as if he was to leave he needs to goto A team with A chance of winning things and not to one of the so called strugglers.......

Rugby League is a very short career,
So Fred, put yourself in Sam's shoes.
You love the club you play for, and with them you will win trophy's
or you could move for more money, perhaps impress at that level and move up and if not what have you lost?
back to the team you love and be welcomed by the fans.

That's only a scenario,

The only offer I know of is with Cas but they were going to immediately loan him out to Leigh next year!! As far as I know Sam is still pondering what to do but nothing is decided!!

From who?

Re: Sam : Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:45 pm  

His sponsor

Re: Sam : Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:53 pm  

Honestly think he will leave this year to play super league. Be fair to him he turned it down last year and is defo good enough.he can change a game with a click of a finger. He will be missed but would defo be welcomed back if things went wrong.
Hope it is not castleford though!!!!

Re: Sam : Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:54 pm  

Like I said previously if he goes to Cas he's been loaned out to Leigh

Which, to be fair, would be a poor move on his half. Why move, only to be playing back in the championship.

Also heard Tony Abbot has offered a BIG sponsorship if he stays

Re: Sam : Fri Aug 03, 2012 7:18 pm  

Well it's all in Sams hands to decide, he's been advised the Cas move makes no sense if loaned straight to Leigh but its still a SL contract and he can put himself on Millwards radar that way?? Personally think its a waste if he does that but honestly don't know.

Re: Sam : Fri Aug 03, 2012 7:22 pm  

Would love to see Sam stay - on his day he is the best forward in The Championship.

I think he has come on leaps and bounds this year under Rhino's tutelage, and in another 12 months, if he knuckles down then it will be Saints, Wigan, Leeds or Warrington coming knocking - not the small,lower end clubs that have no chance of winning owt.

Heard the rumour about others wanting to sponsor Sam, but knowing how close Sam has come to his current sponsor, I think he may stay with Peter if he stays

That's a bit naughty Chris, one shouldn't divulge one's source of info. I wouldn't blame "his sponsor" if he fed you a load of old rubbish in future and I don't mean in one of his pint glasses.

As much as I like Sam as a lad and admire his playing talents I think it's gone on too long now and needs a line drawing underneath it once & for all. If he wants to go ( which he doesn't, but I wouldn't blame anyone for taking a measured career move ) then let Halifax RLFC get on with sealing this season on the field and plan for next season off it. Both Sam & his fantastic sponsor know my feelings on this matter & I appreciate the work both are/have done for our club, we have a potential six or seven games to win this season, six preferably but Fev won again last night and there only remains three games for them to lose one for us to nick top spot.
Play it again Sam
