Tell the Bulls fans that cost them a million overall apparently.

It was only 10 years ago.

Not up on that case but that was over a decade ago. A lot of law changes since then. The days of contract slavery are over. Thankfully.

250k thats not contract slavery. But Rugby players deserve more than they get tbh.

Seems some people on another Wigan forum were saying 2 weeks ago he had already signed to comeback.

thats what the salary cap is

I'm just keeping everything crossed he is coming back.

The outcry if he doesn't isn't worth thinking about.

I am Morley. Didn't want to brag....


Far point. Moz scared the sh#t out of the Aussies but Ellis showed we English could play. Hence 2player of the year awards at Wests.
Life's too short to wonder , so fair play to Sam for trying the Nrl. I hope he signs for you guys and we don't lose him to Union.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about. He is signing for you men if my normally very very reliable sources are correct.

And for what it's worth I'd much rather see him play for you than a Union side. He's too good to be wasted there.

I believe that the interest from Claremont is still on the cards
Also if my sources are right he also has offers from wire and Salford as well as wigan.
Just hope that I'm wrong and it is a done deal that he he is on his way back to wigan

Hope so mate. I'm a league fan first and I'd rather he went to Wire/Leeds/Saints then waste his time stuck on the wing in Union trying to keep his hands warm.

If it comes to that though a part of me will cry

I'd be looking to take Tomkins to the cleaners if I were NZ Warriors when he's spoke about homesickness and missing his family in Wigan if he turned up in France! Not too far from Wigan I suppose but he can't just walk round and see the family and with how busy he'd be training/playing he probably wouldn't see them a great deal in the season.

It'll surely be league in England or maybe Union.

Haha I can't picture him playing against you mate. Worst case scenario for you would be Union I reckon but even that is extremely unlikely.

there is no chance of him ever lining up against wigan RL. no chance. the guy loves wigan, not sure he could physically do it.

i know theres blood between ikkle sammy and leeds, but ill be happy to see him back in a wigan shirt, such fun seeing him under the high ball



no honestly, hes acredit to the sport and would be wasted in union. them s already lord it over us with the sam burgess signing =/

the noise from him saying "its not a done deal" makes me think hes trying to get a bit of a raise on the pre arranged salary.
