Can't see it happening. That would be a big pay off to get him out of his new 5 year contract!

The rumour has been about on our board for a week or so with Quins and Saracens mentioned.

Looks to me like the Sun journo has been scouting about for stories.

"Tomkins may not be picked in the England squad because of the possibility of a move."

No, he won't be picked because we have better options at centre and second row.

Hope it's rubbish. We need our good English players to stay.

If it is untrue, and I was the England coach, i'd stick him straight in the England squad, and then get him doing press interviews rubbishing the story and promoting the 4N's.

Could be some truth in it seeing as both Tomkins brothers recently signed up with a large firm of sports agents who have a guy on their payroll with a remit for "maintaining the company's presence in rugby league, identifying talent with the ability to switch to Union".

Could be a case of 2+2=5. Lets hope so.

Big shame if either Tomkins goes. The usual arguements will of course come out. Rugby league in England cannot keep losing it's top young talent.

And That guys job description is ridiculous!

easiest job in the world -all he has to do is phone a few journalists and say "my client is keen to move to union" and wait for the story to build its own momentum.

I've been telling you about this for weeks. I posted on here about how they both spent time with Saracens twice during the season on their days off from Wigan.

Au reviour I say.

If they go, they go. Anyone going has nothing to do with Chase being picked as Schofield's spouting more the 'challenge' (read: money0 and 'opportunity' (read: little chance of bagging a royal in league) and the other guff they say.

If I was Joel Tomkins I would look at what happened when another of Wigans fans favourite left the club, Andy Farrell and switched codes, it rarely works out and in my opinion for Sam going from league to union is a big step backwards.
