I can see him going to union.

It means nothing unless he has some contract clause written in.

I heard last night not only is he getting a release because he is home sick but that we have already offered a deal. Double whatever the Pies offer him, a huge take it or leave it no frills contract. It is to be an immediate deal as Wire it seems do have a big hole to fill in the salary cap after all.

Difference is though, Wigan won't be stupid enough to turn it down like Arsenal did, whereas with Leeds, they tried to use legal means to get Harris back and he told them to shove it.

Tomkins won't do that though; he'll quite happily have his past, present and future dictated to him by Wigan.

Sam Tompkins is a Wire and once a Wire always a Wire.

I've read through all the posts. Has nobody else heard that we have already made an offer for Sam?

Would love to see him run out in the p+b but I just can't see it. Hope I'm proved wrong.

Would prefer Ratch staying at full back and us signing a class natural 6 to be honest.

ST was already dream teamed for FB and at hb Gaz. You cant better that by much mate.

But we have a MOS at hooker who is not delivering as yet. And where would Bridge & Ratchford play with Tomkins in the halves ?

1 ST
6 Ratch

In other news, I've heard that we are swapping Roy Asotasi for James Graham with immediate effect to keep our 'ginge' contingent back up to full strength following Chris Riley's departure as apparently they only count as half on the cap

I was told on Monday we had put in an offer for Tomkins but took it with a pinch of salt and now see he's being released from his contract, I would think he will be going through all offers at the moment with a leaning towards Wigan, Union see him as a bit on the small side ignoring his obvious talent.

I cant see Pies competing with us in money. Salford yes but we are fashionable and Sam supported us as a kid.

It's going to be interesting that's for sure, It goes without saying Salford will be thereabouts but is their full back Locke on a mega deal? with Harris being well known to Sam, that could be why they were trying to unload Locke.

Who's he though?

Tomkins
