Massive loss for the SL if this is true.

Bobbie Goulding tweeted the same over the weekend

Massive loss to the super league

It's not like his presence has attracted a global SL competition sponsor this season or anything.

Massive loss for Wigan, but I think the rest of us will cope!

Meh.

Hands up everyone who bought a season ticket for a SL club this year just so they could watch Sam Tomkins.

Be interested to hear why he's gone to a relative rugby league backwater rather than one of the bigger Sydney sides that were supposedly in for him.

$$$$$$

Maybe he's got a "Warriors" tattoo that he doesn't want to change?

Not ideal for Super League, but perhaps not bad news for England. I think Tomkins has spoken about wanting to be as good as Billy Slater. Not sure he can achieve that here. He also has a pretty full medal collection from Super League (Mr Offiah's mis-use of the odd plural notwithstanding). I'd rather see him in the NRL than in Union.

No chance we can change the silly thread title I suppose?

Gotta be the $$$$$'s on offer.

He won't improve much being coached by someone out of his depth and who is realistically a SL level coach.

We always have one silly thread each week.

I usually call it the "Obsessed With Wigan" thread.

Only one?

Yep... just one this week.

The desperately obsessive but ineffective rhinos trolls from this board are way too busy fighting off the desperately obsessive but ineffective invasion of a few Huddersfield trolls to be concerning themselves with too many desperately obsessive wigan threads this week. They aren't capable of multitasking anyhow.

I dunno, you're still having a go. Credit to you for that.

Big loss to the league - yet another top quality player leaving. The standard of competition is slipping at an alarming rate losing star players is hardly going to improve matters.

As for crowds it isn't the season ticket holders who will come to watch Tomkins it is the floating supports who - most likely - will be brought along by their kids who do want to see Sam Tomkins.

So i take it you will be looking forward to the highly likely scenario of us playing Wigan 3 times in a month come september? will be more than one then

I'm not obsessed by Wigan.
