The hatred is strong in this one

Souths have lost Lowe, Stewart and Luke and signed Oldfield and Cook.

I actually think if he had done well in the RU WC and won it with England I'm sure wed have had a better chance of seeing him, back the thought of being a dual code WC winner will have been hard not for him to think about as SBW treid

England have dropped him on Saturday, so he'll be able to go to Old Trafford.

Would be class if he turned up at Old Trafford. Can you imagine the PR?

I'd love him to join Leeds, it would be superb for the sport, the competition and for him. Make it so Sam, even if it is just for a year while Souths or whoever sort out their salary cap issues.

I'd be happy to see him go to Leeds too. No more than a year, though, mind!

Agree with this.

Hope Nigel has issued a VIP invitation.

The RU media (Barnes, D'Arcy, guscott, Dawson, tindall, Jones, Hayward etc) are going to stew about Union's failure this Autumn for years to come and, as part of that, they'll try to pilliory Sam, clearly without justification, for ever more.

Give 'em something to writhe and go purple in the face for Sam, and get yourself to Old Trafford on Sat evening. Don't mind if you feel the need to slip out at half time for a taxi across town.

I'd imagine that, as a member of the England squad, he'd be expected to be at the RUWC game.

He'd certainly be a welcome guest.

It seems that even the rugger buggers need a scapegoat.
Although, like others have said, anywhere but Leeds.
A top quality player and would certainly get some numbers through the turnstiles.
