A few things about dropping out now due to personal reasons. I now expect him to be in an Australian Jungle in a couple of weeks time.

Quote: Dunbar "Seems very strange news as Thomas has always come across as genuine and committed to the game

If it is an opportunity to do something else that has meant him pulling out of a tournament that starts in three days then he has certainly gone down in my estimations'"


His tweets over the past couple of weeks have been telling. He's obviously very busy with a lot of possible avenues for his post-playing career. Media work, celebrity shows, Union coaching, this supposed film idea. He went over for the Union World Cup and seemed to enjoy that side of things.

If he's given up the 4N for some celebrity show it wouldn't be a good end to what has been a generally positive stint in the sport.

My bet is that he's not really done any training with the squad since breaking his arm and has realised he'd need to focus on that, when they are more lucrative and profile raising opportunities out there for him.

The RFL should snap him up as an ambassador for the game. There are not many national names the game can use, it would be criminal if he is totally lost to the game.

Apparently he is having family issues, but I have also heard that he has been offered the position as South Wales Scorpions head coach for next season.

Most dissapointing, would have loved to watch him play at the double header and end his career in a Wales RL shirt.

Not to sure what is happening with Dave Clark but apparently the WRL would like to keep Gareth Thomas involved with league within Wales and see him developing at the scorpions
