Doubt it's a money thing.
He has achieved just about everything he can and age is catching up with him, so probably wanted a change of scenery and new challenge for his swan song

Sam's coming home.

The NZ Warriors have got a good deal out of it signed Roger Tuivasa Sheck as his replacement. Will be interesting to see if wigan take first option on Sam

Would be mad not to!  There isn't a better FB in Super League, and Hardaker is currently the best by quite a distance (imo).  Would be very painful to see him at Warrington or elsewhere in the SL.
Not sure what it would mean for Hampshire though. Would love to see Hampshire move to 6, with Sam at FB.  That would be some pace and attacking guile.

I think you need him to bring some friends with him. I actually quite like Bowen so F/B is not your biggest problem.

I prefer Hampshire at FB to Bowen.  Bowen is only a shadow of what he once was.  Very solid at times, but also prone to mishaps.  He also tends to go missing in the big games and he adds far less going forward in terms of invention or threat to the opposition.

Bowen will be retiring at the end of the season anyway
