No Ben Cross that's for sure.

Have a look at the post in question.
It reads,'I heard a rumour from someone I worked with who does something else now, that a player had signed for a club, but hang on it might be another club, but I wasn't really listening and I'm not really interested, but I thought I'd post it on here anyway.'

I admit it was bit jittery. No need to say he needs care in the community though. Harsh, basically forgot what somebody told him.

Not named in the England squad due to personal reasons Steve Mc said.

Wigan fans seem to think he's on the brink of a move to Quins RU.

He's off.

Club bias aside, it's a worrying sign that RU continue to poach England RL players.

Joel has realised that he can dive on defenceless players lying on the floor in union and not get punished.

Joking aside, you may well be right. Tomorrows Press Conference to announce the new Coach could be very interesting.

Both S Tomkins and R Atkins have had a very successful season!!! Both have grown in confidence and are the form players in their positions!!! Therefore in my opinion, completely dis-regarding what happened a year ago....both players should be in the England team in their relevant positions!!!

Too often have England managers played "experienced players" in whatever positions, sometimes out of position, regardless of the season they've had!! Completely casting aside any quality youngsters that they claim to be inexperienced!!! How are they to get experience at international level?? particularly if theyve had a wow of a season, to then not to be picked.....a great moral boost!! And perhaps a reason some players do look else where for employment...RU??!! This is the difference between England RL and The Aussies, they're not afraid to blood the youngsters, and stand by them if they have a bad game!

I am a Wigan supporter..and yes I am salivating at the thought of having Atkins in the Wigan line-up....tries a plenty!!! would love him in cherry and white!!! Along with Harrison, Wood, and M. Monaghan!!

I didn't mind. I'm often in need of care! It was one of them things. The conversation did happen but that particular part of the convo was at the end, an afterthought almost, after talking about Super League and the NRL for a few minutes and i had a million and one things to do and on my mind at the time and i wasn't really listening to her properly. I went away from that chat with Saracens in my head, but then this thread popped up and the OP mentioned Quins, and i thought "hang on, was it Quins or Saracens?!"

Anyway, back to the topic...

The irony of Phil 'Wigan' Clarke working as a consultant for the Management Agents representing the Tomkins brothers who are doing their bit in brokering a deal which will see at least one of them in a move over to yawnion. You couldn't make it up.

It's not, it's his brother Andy.

His brother Andy sold the business to a third party (I forget his name). Phil was retained as a consultant.

What I put was straight from your board. I probably mis read it.

top talent poached ooooer where will it end

"Wow surely the reports of Joel Tomkins earning £400k a year are wide of the mark... If it's even half that you can see why he fancy's it.."

Based on that, Sam should be pricing himself at 2 mill a year.

It's £1m and apparently Saracens haven't said no.

No Union club is in for ex-England international Ryan Atkins. I wonder why?

Costs too much.

Handy way for Wigan to get high earners off the wage bill before the salary cap auditors clamp down on them.

Same reason why they aren't in for ex-England International Sean O'Loughlin.

You're boring!

Now that really is a stupid post. 'One of our star players is going to RU, yours isn't, nur, nur, nur.'

The mistake you have made there is that you have tried applying logic and sense to something a one eyed pie has said.

Think about it; this dude(tte) would rather lose every decent player they have (sam tomkins) than admit atkins is a good centre.

On a slightly different note, I cannot believe yawnion would want (quite possibly) the worst centre in the league. Is defence and playmaking really that neglected in the sport?
