Personally i'd rather him become a household name in England, and a legend at Wigan, but i'd rather him go to the NRL than waste him talent in Yawnion.
Also Chris Ashton was on talksport saying he misses league and hopes he can come back one day. I turned it off when his wierd hybrid Wigan-Toff accent started grating.

| Tomkins is doing himself no favours and all these blatantly set-up press releases are really starting to get annoying.
You can tell that behind the scenes Wigan are beavering away on getting the RFL/SL to increase the salary cap or give them a dispensation or central funding to keep Tomkins. All this blatantly deliberate press rumour mongering is just the padding for their case.
I hope the RFL tell them where to go. Wigan could keep Tomkins, they could keep them both if they didn't sign players like Carmont, Finch, Lauaki, Leuleuai and Richards. That way Sam wouldn't need to continually tweet about his trips to London to meet Unionites for 'dinner'.

| For the last bloody time it's Maguire not McGuire.
Rant over, I'd rather him play NRL than Union but I'd obviously like any talent to be kept in SL

| One of a few in SL that'd cut it in the NRL.

| Sam Tomkins has clearly got the skill set to play in the NRL, but his temperament would have to change, as his opponents wouldn't put up with it in Australia.

I think you'd find he'd fit in just right with successful, ultra competitive footballers.

| Will be interesting to see him play against an Australian defence now he's been identified as a spot player by them. The aussies will be out to stiffle him / sort him out. Let's see if the aussie break their defensive line when he's running round the back.

| If he was going to leave Wigan then hopefully it will be for the NRL. Much rather he went there than to Union.

| It'll be interesting to see if the Aussie taget him with high kicks to try to destroy his confidence (like Bradford once did to a so called world's best FB)! I suspect not, I think it'll be via short kicks to get repeat sets. They'll want to stifle us, like they're brilliant at, if they are taking this one seriously.

I am sure in the past they have said they will be marking him very closely.

| Of course they'll have a close eye on him and a plan to stop him. The one thing Sam's got that you can't plan for is pace and acceleration.
