Mark taylor on twitter has just stated that sam is coming home on loan.

Great news, welcome back Sam!

and he is available for cup tie on sunday

Leigh Centurions can confirm that Sam Hopkins will be rejoining the club on a month long loan deal from Wigan Warriors.
Sam, aged 24, originally joined the Centurions ahead the 2010 season. A highly rated young second row forward at the time, Sam came through the ranks at Leigh East and had represented the Great Britain Community Lions Under-18s as they toured Australia. Upon his return, he then became a regular for East’s first team.
After enjoying a steady first season with the club, Hopkins was rewarded for his efforts with a first team squad number for 2011 and made his Centurions debut against Hull Dockers in the Challenge Cup. He also began playing more regularly in the front row. It proved a good move for Hopkins as he pushed his way past a couple of players into the first team reckoning, and eventually got himself noticed by Super League Champions Wigan Warriors.
Sam scored 26 tries in 65 appearances for Leigh and though he signed for Wigan in a two-year deal in June 2013 he saw out the season with the Centurions, playing a big part in their Northern Rail Cup Final defeat of Sheffield Eagles at Halifax.
Speaking of Sam's return to Leigh, Head Coach Paul Rowley said: "We have a sickness bug in the camp at the moment, and have lost two more players due to tonsillitis, so it was a good time for the squad to receive a shot in the arm and a welcome boost."
"We still see Sam as our player, he knows what we are about, and he isn't getting much game-time at the moment, so we're keen to have him back in our ranks to provide extra cover and competition over another tough period."
Hopkins will be eligible to play for The Centurions this weekend in the Tetley’s Challenge Cup as Leigh face Rochdale Hornets at Spotland on Sunday (2pm).
Speaking about the news, Wigan Warriors Rugby Manager Kris Radlinski said:
“The one month loan provides Sam with an opportunity to get some important game time in a tough Championship competition. Sam has worked extremely hard since becoming a full time professional and is making huge strides with us but he needs to play regularly and this agreement with Leigh works well for all parties concerned. “

Excellent news

He'll be bigger,stronger & even fitter this time so Hoppy could be even more devastating with the ball in hand

I can't wait for Sunday I reckon we'll smash them this time

Hope he will be available for the Fev away game too.

Shame for Ryan Duffy though

Doubt we will play Sam at prop more likely second row or loose forward.

Unfortunately there is no room for sentiment

We must win all games so therefore we must field the best team available. Our rivals are using loan players (not DC) so we should also.

spot on,finishing in the top two is imperative.

Or we could put him on the wing for a spot of retribution on Gaz "the tripper"Langley

Brilliant news !!!
