hes packed in the game, could this mean that wigan signing him would push them over the cap? or that joel tomkins isnt going to kick and clap now and that theyve offered him more money to stay at wigan and with doing could not fit him within the cap so that hes decided to pack it all in and parted on mutual terms?

obviously this isnt fact or rumour heard from others and without providing 'sources' just a thought?

It`s on the Wigan site mate.
Someone saying he never signed for Wigan in the first place.

would love to see him in france à la Steve Menzies for one last fling.....

ah right, thanks for the info, dont really go on there tbh, only went on there to see and have a laugh at their posters after all their bandwagoner's fell off the cart when saints dumped them out and everyone started to get banned,

to me most of them cant have a laugh and a joke and start to ban people so as i said dont go on and cant be botherd.

was just an idea that popped into my head and thought people on here could shed light onto it or give their ideas on it.

It was all rumours thankfully

*wakes up* "Never mind dear, it was all just a dream..."

was only an idea, guess i got shot down in flames haha,

It's a good theory, but could never see anyone above 10th in the table wanting to take him on. Nothing special now,

i thought that to that no one above 10th would sign him, after all he is in his mid 30's (i think) and was a good pr move by the crusaders at the time, he did ok but wasnt anything spectacular, the main reason i thought this is that the bbc covered that he had signed for wigan along with harris as assistant, then the reports of kick an clap trying to sign joel tomkins came in, then thomas annouces hes packing in, just got me thinking and thought up this, obviously im more than likely wrong just wondered what you all thought.

37yrs old I think. Agree a good or move to crusaders, worked better than dwain chambers to cas!!!

exactly, haha, what a crap move, and also 'pr' shambles that was, must of been thinking 'oh great pr stunt this' then when it all turned to crap and realised he wasnt good enough even for an u18's/21's game (which ever it was) must of been sat doing this at least they didnt pay him (from what was stated in the press)

As I recall the Harris/Thomas moves to Wigan were announced on grand final day (since the pies didn't have much else to talk about, bless 'em.). They just couldn't stand all the attention us & Saints were getting!

Always thought it was nothing more than that - an attention seeking headline - with all due respect Thomas would have struggled to get in Wigans 2nd team. A dam fine RU player, and by all accounts a top bloke but came to league far too late to make any significant impact

IIRC didn't he get poleaxed twice in his first RL game?

I wish he'd made the move to league ten years earlier.

An outstanding player in Union who achieved pretty much everything the game in the northern hemisphere had to offer (captain of the Lions, European Cup winner). Made a decent fist of changing codes too, didn't look out of place in SL IMO, even as the second oldest (?) player in the competition.

Comes across as a genuinely nice bloke too, someone the RFL should be leaning on in their efforts to promote the game in Wales in particular.
