Sam plays prop for us but is a loose forward or second row. The lad is another Chris Hill in heart but will be better given full time training. Sam will be an England player within 12 months if he goes to Saints. Sorry to see him go but he goes with every Leythers best wishes because he has never taken a backward step and wore the Leigh shirt with pride. I just hope we can keep him untill the end of this season.

Sounds good!

Hes not as good as Chris Hill.......... to light weight to play prop in Super League and not technically good enough to play back row..... would be a bad signing for you guys

Re: Sam Hopkins - Leigh : Fri May 03, 2013 11:35 pm  

So he'll be playing for England soon, but he'd be a bad signing?

Think Wire may have pinched him like they did Hill because they offer a decent fee and Saints try to grab on the cheap

Is this a fact? Or your opinion? Because I'm sick of other teams beating us to players.

I'm sure Hopkins agreed terms on Wednesday so I can't see him being right.

It's not unparalleled though, look what happened with Darrell Griffin.

Not a surprise, when you have a small talent pool competition will be stiff

Considering what you have posted, I tend to not believe what you claim tbh.

Just a rumour going around town here that Leigh have accepted £40k from Wire as he is a contracted player.
