| Quote: thepriestman85 "He won't leave whilst Madge is here but once Madge leaves for Aus don't be shocked if he talks guys like Joel and Sam into coming with him. ATEOTD he'd be stupid not to at least try it wouldn't he.
Lets face it if Wigan keep improving at our current rate under Madge he'll defo get an NRL head coaches gig. He's already shown with Finch, Lima & Hoffman that he likes to sign players he's worked with in the past and if he moves to one of the bottom basement clubs he's gonna be looking for guys he can build a team around and trust.'"
He could try all he wants, but if they're down on five year deals an NRL club would have to cough up some hefty cash for us to release either Tomkins. It's not something that concerns me in the slightest TBH.

In your opinion.
As previously mentioned, NRL clubs showing interest in Joel Tomkins is not something that concerns me in the slightest.

I appreciate that, but I just think it is a case of a good bit of PR for the game to make him out to be a good player, when in truth he is pretty average and were he from the grim old North would not warrant half the attention he seems to.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| If I were Joel and I had won trophies here I would seriously think about going to the NRL so I would only worry about him going to the NRL if we had won everything in all honesty.
Cronulla is the nicest place to go but their club might not even be there this time next year, if I went to the NRL I would go to Brisbane.

| My wife gave me a good one over a curry tonight. Her mate had been talking to Sam/Joel's mum and the gist was she was keen to go to Aus with the pair but her dad wasnt keen. Apparently MM was happy for them to stay at his house.
I nearly choked on my madras. Turns out they were discussing going for the 4 Nations.

Couldn't agree more. Very over rated and will get flattened at some point. In the modern game speed is not enough and at some point he will come in field and get caught.
Either that of Hull are going to put a stone plus on him. Then he might turn into something a bit better.

They aren't on five year deals however.
Joel is ooc next season and Sam two years later.
It may seem like a while off but i'm sure Madge would test his luck with at least Sam and possibly Joel when he does decide to leave.

I think your'e right, sadly.
Of all the exciting starlets in the British game at present, I reckon the two Tompkinses are the most likely to be offered contracts down under. It looks like James Graham is already going. I'd have thought Eastmond would go too, except that he seems mainly to be flirting with Union.
But as long as there are lots of people in the British game who think that a talent drain to Aus is a good thing (and there are plenty who still say this on sites like TotalRL - some of the emptier headed ones even shout that those who don't go are gutless), there is even more chance that the NRL ticket will be taken.

So both players are likely/certain to be offered long-term deals while Madge is under contract. Whose to say Madge wont stay after three years?

It wouldn't surprise me if Madge does a "Monie" and stays a 4th year ( as Monie did in 89-93).
Let's just hope and pray he achieves as much success - doing the double in every year. Know he can't do it this year - although the League Leader's Shield and winning the Grand Final would be a sort of "double"!!

Steady, next you'll be saying Bradford have lost interest in Beaver.

Sam's contract doesn't run out until the end of 2014.

| Sploke the Feka yesterday about going to Salford. Still a perfect gent and a great bloke. Said he never wanted to leave Wigan as he loves the place, but life goes on and he's looking forward to the new challenge.
I think he will do well there and most Wigan fans will wish him well.
Has it been officially announced yet btw?
