Could he do it in the NRL? Will he have a go? Ellis and Burgess have done it.James Graham is having a go (good luck to him ) I think Sam Tomkins would be a sensation in OZ.

New 5 year deal says NO

The 5 year deal says not in the near future. After or towards the end of that, who knows and at the moment does it matter? IMO he could and possibly will at some point, but at the moment he's going nowhere.

I think it's unlikely that Sam will leave Wigan. True Wigan lad with a die hard Wigan background.

I'm sure he has the talent to make it over there though.

Booooooooooooo

Sam said his fair skin would not suit Austraila to Sam burgess the other day when Burgess was asking him was he not coming over with his coach

wasn't he born in milton keynes and previously a wire fan ?

He is the next Billy Slater.

theres alot more playerrs over here that can play nrl

The way some go on you wouldnt think so. I remember a thread on the Wire board around players they thought could get a game in the NRL and they came up with about 4 names which made me chuckle. There's rafts of English players that could get a game over there. Granted only a select few would be classed as some of the better players in the division but plenty would get a game.

exactly i think theres maybe a few that could really stand out in the nrl but theres lots that would get game time ect

The only other English SL player that I can think of that could possibly make it in NRL is James Roby.

I think he has since seen the errors of his past.

By the time his current contract is up he'll be in his mid twenties and possibly in the prime of his career, that's when I'd like to see him have a crack at the NRL. Yes it would be sad to see him leave Wigan, but Sam will have hopefully given us years of excellent service by then. I'd like to see him go to the NRL and maybe just maybe cement himself as a great of the game.

Just because your players have lacked the loyalty factor over the last few years, perhaps they could take some note of the Ancient and LOYAL!!
