<t>Hi Dave, I was working on the basis that a contract can always be ended - one reason clubs (in RL and other sports) tie star players to long contracts is to ensure they get a decent payout when the player leaves before the contract is up.<br/> Assuming Wigan could hold Sam to his 3 years - would ...

<t>OK I haven't read every word on this topic but, apart from IL and SW being useless and should say they want Sam to stay, where are the constructive suggestions as to exactly what they should be doing to achieve this??<br/> <br/> Has anyone considered that they know Sam is going, so are planning f...

<r>Thanks for that, Josie - I'm a bit old for this computer lark <EMOJI seq="1f60a">:blush:</EMOJI> <br/> I thought of Sid Abram because of his link with 1st final at Wembley.
