Above is a video of Bath coach Mike Ford who is confident/adamant Sam is staying in Rugby.

Ford said himself and Sam laugh off the speculation and that they've been texting each other everyday.

Ford says there has been no contact between Souths and Leeds and that with Sam there is always speculation out of nothing.


Not looking good guys.

Must say it will be a relief to know one way or another. But, judging by what Tom B and Leeds have been saying to the media, Mike Ford is either not being straight, or hopelessly uninformed.

If Sths offer Sam 1 to 1.5 mill; then Leeds,with their deeper pockets, offer him 1.5 to 2 mill;--guess where Sam will go??!!
It's not hard to pick.
Sam has 3 choices--
*continue the challenge of RU which he said he wanted[on very good $$$$].

*Go to Leeds for substantially more money than Sths can offer under our salary cap system & also play in his home country.

*Return to Sths for, probably,much less $$$$,be with family & enjoy a sunnier lifestyle.

It depends what really motivates Sam---the satisfaction of succeeding in RU,the Rhino's big money or a well-balanced setup with us.

How is Sam thinking??????

His life will also change for better or worse after his marriage which is not too far away.He'll have another person to consider then;& maybe more not long after;like his bro. Luke!!

If Sam leaves Rugby and returns to NRL, Newcastle and Gold Coast apparently are going to have a red hot go at getting him too.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

If Sam leaves Rugby and returns to NRL, Newcastle and Gold Coast apparently are going to have a red hot go at getting him too.

If Sam comes back to the NRL, it won't just be for the money. If it were for the money, he'd be staying at Bath or signing for Leeds.

If he comes back to Australia, it will be to be with his mother and brothers and also his fiance's family.

Neither of those groups are based on the gold coast or newcastle.

Yeah I know.

Just a rumour about the Titans and Knights. If he comes back they'd have a go and fail as we know.

I'm starting to think he may stay with Bath.

My mail is that Dylan has actually re-signed for a few more years. All the media is doing is hyping up a nothing situation. From a close source.

R95, I'm now 95percent sure you're on the money. Very strong mail there is that Dylan re-signed until the end of 2018.

Regarding Sam R95, I'm only 15-20percent confident he will come back.

I will be honest and say that I didn't pay close attention to the U20s comp last year.......for obvious reasons. If anyone did, any opinions on Riley Travers? If he was captain of the Manly U20s, you would assume he is not a bad player?

Heard he was a pretty good player.

Has he signed with us or is it a rumour?

 

[rabbitohs95]

Also I just checked the Rabbitohs website for the new player profiles.

Only 22 names there, not including the new signings though, which i've added and put in bold. Interesting to see Jack Gosiewski still there. It also confirms that Joel Reddy, Daryl Millard, Darren Nicholls and Scott Sorensen have left.

Travers was mentioned in the members email as training with souths this week so you would thinks hes signed or at least on a training contract.

Sacked Bulldogs forward David Minute has been handed a second chance, he’s set to sign a second-tier deal with South Sydney’s feeder side North Sydney.

The 22-year-old was placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond in August after pleading guilty to using a mobile phone to harass, offend or menace.

Minute had his $90,000 a year contract torn up following the practical joke gone wrong, where he called a female staff member’s phone and made obscene noises.
