[quote="Saddened":15kig0eg]Pat Richards is poop. A typical, average, run of the mill NRL outside back. Nothing special at all. Like Barrett he is a myth. He is solid enough, he can catch, he can kick goals.[/quote:15kig0eg]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7958.jpg |

| Quote: Richie "Why do RL players from the north of England have such a problem with moving away from there? Whether it's London or the southern hemisphere, players repeatedly seem to have a problem with relocating. It seems much rarer for southern hemisphere players moving around there or to Europe to have problems.'"
The funny thing is how many fans have complained in the past about Aussie/NZ players leaving citing homesickness. Now its the other way round and its fine.
I personally don't get it. I haven't been back to the UK in over 2 years and have no intention of going anytime soon. I wonder if this has more to do with not being the big name player he was in Wigan/Super League. Superstar in Super League, decent player in the NRL. |

Wish they'd announce who's signed him already, the suspense is killing me.

| Quote: Jim Pooley "The idea that someone from Hull, the great dude of Britain (it's where you live, learn to spell it) felt that New Zealand wasn't for them is quite ironic really.
New Zealand has been my home for 6 years now and my biggest regret is that I didn't move here sooner.......the quality of life is light years ahead of the UK. Auckland is my least favourite place here, but is craps all over Wigan from a great height......he's not homesick, he's just failed.
Aussies get their culture from a yoghurt pot.'"
Now that Sams had a successful run of games and the NZW are 4th in the table do you still have the same opinion? |

As the original predictor of the Samuel Tomkins' cave in to his homesick partner, I think that we now have to ask how good is Samuel going to be back at Wigan, faced with the emergence of the likes of Zachary Hardaker and Morgan Escare as rivals. Samuel will be a big fish in a small pond once again, but now some other big fish have emerged to compete for attention. Moreover his Wigan team mates play with a conservatism that is unknown at the NZ Warriors. Can Samuel readapt to that and still perform at the highest level that he was once capable of? At least Samuel will no longer have to live in the shadow of magical Shaun Johnson -- perhaps another reason why he is scurrying back to Wigan.
