Could this be due to the image rights loophole being closed and Wigan being under pressure to offload players to pay their tax bill?

For once I agree with you. There isn't any concrete info. Someone has invented a story and others think it's clever to imitate it.

Very average player who would be no loss to RL

I think he'd be well suited to RU. Saying that would rather not lose another player to that crap code.

With his defence, he'd be well suited to Union...

i agree...but i could`nt really care less who that shower lose to the union code..

Are you on some sort of medication ?

Joel Tomkins is a class, versatile player with plenty of pace. Average players don't score the kind of tries that he's scored this season both for Wigan and England.

Gotta say his defence is poor.

As a second rower, 7-8/10
As a centre, 3/10

Sam is considering the 'double your money' move to Saracens. He and Chris Ashton are very close mates who has convinced him that with his talent he will be a massive success and household name after a few England caps. From there the opportunity to make money from sponsorship, advertising and tv appearances etc is phenominal compared to RL.
IF he stays in RL he will stay at Wigan, no interest in playing elsewhere or in Australia.
What would you do in his position ??
He even gets boo'd playing for England RL

No to the 1st question.

My opinion (Which we're all entitled to have...) is that he's got into the Wigan team (On a regular basis) because he's Sam's brother. He just ain't good enough to be at one of the top SL sides. If he stays at Wigan next year then he'll be moved into the 2nd row as he's nowhere near good enough as a centre (Defensively very poor and his attack is just OK). If his overall performances don't improve in the pack then I think Wigan will ship him out to a mid table team.

with the way wigan are going they to will be a mid table team so he`ll stay at wigan for life
