Sam is frustrating! He should be the best forward in the game easily. If he played like the back end of 2016 or 2014 he is a sight to behold. He runs over people, he inspires his teammates by playing injured, he puts fear into the opposition players through defence, he puts them off their game. He runs hard and creates momentum for guy's Like Isaac Luke or Dylan Walker to wreak havoc. When he plays like that he is worth every dollar and every bit of praise.
If we kid ourselves and say that tonight's performance was great from a million dollar player then we are in trouble. If Sam looks at himself in the mirror after tonight's game and says to himself 'I was great tonight' then we are in deep shit. I'm harsh on Sam because he is so good and needs to be so good. If we are happy for a player to flop into 30 tackles, take 3 god runs and half a dozen half hearted runs then we should have Just kept Tim grant, because grant arguably did better then Sam tonight. At least then we could have kept the other 4 players we lost when we got Sam back.
