Bollocks

I think Joel has a lot to prove this year his career could kick on or it could go the way of Danny Sculthorpe, he needs to be a lot smarter.

Have to say I still need a lot of convincing over Joel Tomkins' long-term future at Wigan.

Going off the game where both Mossop and Joel played at the back end of last year, Mossop, Hansen and even Flanagan outperformed Joel in most games.

We need a big improvement from him next year, because he has shown potential, we need him to play well to soften the blow of losing Hock.

To write off Tomkins would be silly imo. He's shown in flashes he's got alot of talent but he needs to cut out some silly errors from his game. He just seems to have alot of brain farts like the 2 in the play offs against Cas and then Saints where he tried to take the last defender on the outside with about 3 inches worth of pitch to play in.

On the positive side of you saying Mossop was better then Tomkins late on in the year i'd like to think thats because he did so well. He is a huge lad and just gets through big metres and plenty of tackling. The league game away at Knowsley Rd was his best preformence imo and really got everyones mouth watering as to how good he could be.

Joel is a good player. He can be brilliant but can also be quite daft.
If he matures and ups his game awareness he could be far better than he is now. He has size on his side.
There is a lot of competition for places in the back row and Joel should be right there.
If he attains consistancy both within a game as well as game to game then he could be one of the best in the League.

100% Agree, probs a bit harsh of me to say he was crap but still, we all mu st agree he needs to show improvement for next year

Old news pal he is currently over here playing for Leicester Tigers Union on a short term deal, apparently signed for West Tigers for 2010.

Old news I know but...

Reports that Mr Colcquit(?) has come out saying that James Graham will not be leaving Saints as he is contracted to the club...blah, blah, blah!

Does make you wonder if the Chief Exec doth protest too much?!

Wouldn't be suprised if he moved on, would be even less suprised if IL didn't splash the cash should he become available

NSW----been saying that for a long time about j.tomkins so your not on your own

So much for this "nailed on, press conference next week announcing Graham" horsesh*t some posters were posting

[sizeA little birdie has told me that Wigan's new retail premises in the galleries will be open within the next 2 weeks. Told to keep it hush hush[/size

Would be tremendous if true...

For me Joel can only show his potential at Loose, he isn't a workhorse second rower like Mossop and co.
