Billy Slater? Darren Lockyer? Matty Bowen? Brett Hodgson?

The list goes on!

Sam is no worse in defence than any of these and they're all lightyears ahead of any of our 'traditional' fullbacks because of their attacking ability.

I'm not too bothered if Sam plays 1 or 6 because he's probably the best in the league in either position.

Madge will end up in a big job in the NRL whether he stays after this year or not!

I think much of his decision will be based on his kids in school and what his family want, as fans we often forget these things.

He will stay in my opinion.

He seems to take his own personal development very seriously, judging by his long tenure as understudy at the Storm.

I think he has taken 3 years in order to gain as much experience as possible before returning to the bright lights of Aus.

It will be a sad day when he does go, butI will add though that i am relishing Waney taking over.

The appeal of Souths is evident, glamour club and to finally lead them to a premiership, would make him a legend, but I dont think he will leave Wigan in a hurry, he is well aware of how special the next few years might be.

I agree. I think Maguire will have his pick of jobs when his Wigan contract finishes. I also have every faith that he will honour his contract as he strikes me as that sort of person.

Had we have not won the GF last year I'd say he'd stay as he strikes as the sort of guy who sets a goal and has to achieve it.

However, the cynical, mard-ar5e side of me thinks that Crowe's cheque-book plus a return to sunnier climes might be sufficient a head-turner. I hope I'm wrong.
