Harsh!

How can you spell his name right in one sentence and wrong in the next?

totally agree...in fact 2 quality half backs

Not only but also

Dr. K feeding more raw material into the rumor mill this morning, as usual, by tweeting:

"The club will support Iestyn Harris in the pursuit of any player he wishes to sign"

Like I said I have no knowledge of this.

Anyone who thinks Tomkins or Tompkins (who cares) is going anywhere else other than Wigan is deluded.

Please bookmark this before closing.

As you all were.

I thought you had insider knowledge.
If he returns to SL. It won't be at Wigan in my opinion.
They don't have the money.
They only break even each year.

Wherever he goes he said he will be back in SL next season.

On SL show Eddie asked Clarky his opinion on where he would go, he reminded us all as a lad he was a Wire fan and J Davies his favourite player then said though a little muffled probably Wigan or Warrington with Salford being a gamble for him, Clarky got my hopes up but I wasn't sure if there was a little bit of devilment in is eye.

Still think it will be Wigan but wouldn't put it past Moran to go toe to toe with them for his services.

Is he any cop under the high ball these days?

I've heard that he has offers from wire, Salford and wigan in RL and Claremont in RU.
Hopefully it's wigan but would not rule out anyone at this stage who could match his salary expectations

Do we really want/need another player here who blatantly doesn't want to play for us?

Pretty obvious he'll be going to Wigan.

He's going to Wigan, nailed on.

But to others, he was definitely a Wire fan as a kid



“my first replica shirts were Warrington ones.

"I had Jonathan Davies on the back while Joel, my elder brother, had Francis Maloney and then he had an Alfie Langer one as well.”

Ha....Maloney. Mind we could use him at the minute!

Which shows you they had been proper Wire fans since the early 90's

Interesting comment in the Mirror about a new clause that SL are due to vote on, that I wasn't aware of -

The marquee proposal didn't have enough support last time round. Warrington voted with Salford, perhaps Wigan did too but mostly all rejected it. Including Saints. It may get more support this time after more time has been given to it to smooth out some concerns.

Doc Marwan comments after the last vote was rejected...
"Five teams [Salford, Widnes, Wigan, Warrington and Leeds voted for it and two [Bradford and Catalan Dragons weren't there so they could be still on board," he said.

"There are six teams to work on. The six teams that are there, apart from St Helens, are worried about their financial position and not being able to compete.

So this is yet another inconsistency the RFL are proposing to create. For years the salary cap has been promoted to even up superleague & supposedly make every game count but it has been suggested the so called marquee player can be allowed to breach the cap. All very well but no use if not all the clubs can afford it.

Is Sam available now or from next season ? For my money though ,Sam is turning into another journeyman who will just follow the best offer wherever that might be.

I believe he has to see out this season with the Warriors. He's currently sidelined with a knee injury.

Very rarely I agree with you but in this instance I'm prepared to make an exception.

Tomkins will be a Wigan player by the end of the week. There is nothing further to add.

The marquee signing sounds OK but if some teams are not at the cap they will fall further behind, is it fair that some teams have to wait for others that may never catch up, dammed if they do dammed if they don't scenario, if it's within reason bring it in so long as full funding is maintained for junior development, is Patton Warrington born? if so and makes his debut on Saturday he will be a Warrington born half to play for the Wire in a long time, I would like to see that continue.

First Warrington born HB to play for Wire in a long time? Think O'Brien might take umbrage with that notion....

And he will come out with the usual dross...I could have gone elswehere for more money blah blah blah but my heart was set on Wigan and playing with my two brothers!
