Reports suggest he's signed a new 5 year deal with Wigan.

Anyone want to pull up all of Saddened's dozens of posts with 'proof' that he's going to Onion?

I think hes settled for being the highest paid player in Superleague. he is around about the same as Joel too (Joels wage increase got well out of context in the media) and still playing the game he loves.

I think Wigan have won this one.

I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of that 3 years he then has around a year playing union... before hopefully being selected for the england ru world cup side. If he ever wants to be recognised internationally as the great talent he is this is what he will have to do.

The difference is Tomkins can do things which people will pay to watch. This is an entertainment business and the players with the X factor will always get the most limelight.

Dont talk complete crap. He would end up recognised as a great rugby union talent. He is supposed to be a league player so he should be happy with being recognised as the best RL player around in a few years. What make everyone think this crap its a good job the aussies n kiwis and other past RL stars didnt think this or we really would be a feeder game. I think you lot on here are getting caught in this bullsh#t union hype
