BBC 5 live just gave a quote from ST.
"Wigan would be nice but it's not the only club I could go to."

There must be a good wedge in this for NZ Warriors, surely they wouldn't just say off you go if you're homesick? Tomkins will get a good pay-out from new club plus wages as will NZW so both are happy. Question is who can deal with the big bucks required to pull this off?

I don't get why some on here are him and saying we don't need him? He is a world class back, that's something we are missing from 1-7.

I remember a while back we had a team of also-rans, we put J Davies in there and off we go. Just class added to mediocrity! We are a little better off now, but adding such class to the team will be a huge lift on and off the pitch.

Lets hope its us he chooses.

NZW are getting nothing apart from getting him off the wage bill,he isbeing released from his contract so there will be no sell on fee.

I don't know, call it a hunch, but I always thought when Tomkins went to the NRL that he'd come back to play for us. Admittedly i thought that would be in 5+ years when he was past his best. Anyone that says we dont need him needs their heads testing.....we badly miss someone chiming into the line. Come on Sam you know you want to.

I'd rather hope Agent Higham has been out there with his shoe box, like the old days icon_biggrin.gif

As I see it, it's either Warrington in RL or Union.
Pies don't have the kind of money to be a player in this other than sentiment.

Whilst we're talking about Sams, I've heard a rumour that Sam Burgess has had enough in kick & clap and is coming back to league!

You can add Sam Rapira to the 'Sam Pile' too.

He's supposedly heading to these shores in 2016.

I've always thought this too. Dunno why. He's always mentioned how he was a Wire as a kid (remember when he used to do random interviews of Super League Superstars?he was at Keith Senior's house and they were talking about the Sheffield v Wigan CC final...Tomkins said he was cheering on Sheff as he was a Wire at the time!)

I've had that same hunch as you!

Cap space - Monaghan out; Penny and Russell on the wings; Ratch to 6 and Tomkins to 1.

That really doesn't surprise me: 22 carries and 35 tackles per game in League to 4 carries and 6 tackles pg and 1 or 2 of each when he's a sub.

he's probably bored out of his mind in Union!

WEll he would say that. He's got to dangle the carrot enough to make people think that he actually has options.

He's going back to Wigan, end of. He won't play for another RL club and after seeing Burgess struggle in Union, I doubt he would want to go there, especially if Bath, Northamption, Leicester, Sarries or Gloucester pick him up as he may get homesick being in Southern England.

Imagine Tomkins, Penny, Myler and Clark all running off of each other though.

There's only one player good enough to be considered a Legend of Wilderspool! GRAHAM APPO There's only one player good enough to be considered a Legend of the HJ! CHRIS LEIKVOLL:2084.jpg



I would have him in a heartbeat but if we are to spend the kind of money required to bring him to the HJ, then, my question is, are there better players out there for that money?

We will have the room on the cap, there's no doubt about that and in this time of unrest at present, signing Tomkins would surely galvanise the club and the town and get people back through the turnstiles.

Not at the minute from where I am, but you never know. Not sure this will come to anything other than Warrior to Warrior icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:
