IL by 99.999%

and SW by CP (joking CP)

There would be nobody to blame IMO. As a great boxer says it's all about the money! I think many fans would be sad. I suppose I would but would it hurt no. I find the will he / won't here sagas largely engineered by agents and players very distasteful.

I personally think / hope Sam will return to Wigan because otherwise everything he has said looks ludicrous bordering of bullpoop.

If Sam signed for Wire and we got Ratchford or if Sam signed for Leeds and we got Hardaker would it be such a bad return. I do hope we sign Sam, play him at fullback and give George and Rocky their chance as out halfback pairing.

I quite like Sam / Manfredi / Josh / Sarge and ? (Ideally Carney from Cas or a similar robust finisher / Rocky / George as a damn fine backline.

I personally wouldnt blame anyone but alot of fans would see it as a massive failure. My personal opinion is i would love to see Tomkins back but i cant see why he would other than love of a club. Hes won everything he can at wigan and tomkins seems to like challenges

If he went warrington i would love to see ratchford at Wigan, hes been scratchy recently but i believe thats down to him not being settled in one position.

If he went to Leeds i wouldnt like to see hardaker, there is no doubt hes a talent but Wigan dont seem to like players with off field issues.

I will however be jumping up and down with everyone else if we do get a half time annoucment on sunday.

Therein lies the problem that nags me that by coming back from the NRL early Sam clearly no longer likes the challenge and throws in the towel when the going gets too tough. Homesick = Horsepoop for me. He only ever had a small circle of friends and his best one went out there with him. His mother and father are no longer together. Modern technology like SKYPE makes it easy to keep in touch. As much as I am proud to be a Wiganer bar the rugby there is nothing to miss about the town. The opposite in some respects. So that makes it all about the money. I think the youngster who dreamt so much he never stopped putting in extras, seeking advice from great players has been replaced by one who care too much about the money. Nothing wrong with wanting money. It is damn short career but the very best wants both the success/glory and the money. The greats only think just about the money when they are ready for the knackers yard. Sam has been thinking just about the money for far too long. Ultimately though he is still good enough for SL and I hope he returns here. I think he will albeit somebody who failed at the highest level.

Well that was interesting him saying I will not put on a Wigan shirt until next feb and then realising what he had said and backtracking mentioning other clubs

Sod the negatives.Failure my arse.I shall be only to glad to see him in a Wigan shirt.I don't really give two hoots about the negative comments both here and on other forums saying that because he never saw his time out inthe Nrl he's considered a failure.If he say's that he's homesick and wants to return who am I to doubt the veracity of his statement.Sometimes it is not all about money if your not happy money is not goinng to change anything.Just be happy for his return and stop the negatives.Big fish in a small pond maybe the case but he's one bloody big fish.

So CP are you saying he is coming back because of the money.

You can not judge or know how he feels so to come up with that sounds to me oyu just to have a go at anything Wigan RL related.

If he has said he was going anywhere you would have him up there with Inglis. You will reply with the usual i post more positive than negative but you do not.

If we do sign Sam and the marquee player gets voted in could Sam have something put into a contract that he becomes the marquee signing and his wages increase accordingly? I want Sam back but hope that's not the case because I'd like Sam PLUS another star. A centre, or halfback (to replace Smith).
I see Smith as a good organising half and a just above average leader but weak in ideas, pace, short and long kicking (however his long infield kicking seems to have improved of late). He is not a boss on the pitch wether we are on top or not. He does not lead from the front.

Sod anything if Marquee is on the table.

Sam Burgess for me.
