Awesome news, announced at exactly the right time.

A brilliant bit of business. Perfect timing.

rlBBC interview with the Tomkins here - ya knowrl

yeah your right.

I actually forgot about the injury

I though joel talked like a future captain there, impressed

Fantastic news!

Nice one!

Glad we've tied Sam up to a long term deal as it would put the Union mob off (not that I think Sam would entertain the Union mob it seems he loves it at Wigan).What the RFL need to do is get on the backs of the media to promote our young stars of the game such as Sam and Joel and get them on Question of Sport and other programmes like that beause if they start now in 5 years time they could become house hold names and bring extra fans to the game therefore making the game a better spectacle to a wider audience playing in front of larger crowds therefore making Union a less promising career move to the likes of Sam, Eastmond etc.

things looking good for the next few years me thinks, nice work IL

Great news and while the headlines will be dominated by the Tomkins bros I am really pleased for Hansen who I have always rated and Goulding who's career looked to be going nowhere fast under Noble.

I've always rated Hansen, and that extension will take him up to ten years in the first team which will qualify him for a testimonial.

They look about as happy as Wello and Graham there though.

Haha...
I didn't want to be the first one to say it on here.
They look so uncomfortable imo

Great news!

Match commentary could be a bit boring though. It's Tomkins, passes to Tomkins, out the back door to Tomkins, grubber picked up by Tomkins and Tomkins rounds the Saints defence to score under the sticks.

Absolutely fantastic news - put a smile on many a Wigan fan's face and made the weekend so much more enjoyable!

If we didn't know it already, the "Good Times" are certainly back and here to stay for at least 5 years - and hopefully longer!

Congratulations to all the players and to MM and IL for sorting this so effectively.
