Not as daft as it first appears.
He would add at least 3000 to all our gates, which means an extra £60000 approx per match.Over a season he wouldnt be far off paying for a £1000000 signing on fee.

Dont let the Pies hear you saying this



they have locked a similar post to this on the Wigan message board , hit a nerve probably



.

I'm a wigan fan but i also have a real liking for Salford (due to a family connection) and would love you to be successful , but i don't think paying X amount for Tomkins will make a difference , you would be better off signing 3-4 top quality players from here or abroad than putting all your eggs in one basket..i hear Ben Barba is having problems in Aus..if he were available i'd gladly let you have Sam if we could pick him up..but seriously though i hope your chairman goes out and buys some good quality to strengthen your squad

I don't think you understand, if, & I really don't believe we will for a second, signed Tomkins that would be just the start! If we sign a player like that the others will follow. I reckon we've got at the very least half the salary cap still to spend. I think everyone is aware that signing just one player, no matter how good they are isn't going to change our fortunes alone. This isn't a publicity stunt, this is ambition & at some point in the not too distant future we WILL sign a superstar of our game! In the Doctor we trust!!

Can you not put a bid in for Lance Hohaia?

We only went after Tomkins when the deal for Hohaia fell through.

I'm hearing Chris Tuson has signed.

I hope not after he's been taking the p**s out of our Tomkins bid on his twitter!!

Really? where did you hear that?
