we're the wire bum bangers... we say what we want.

and if he does come here how will you lot react...im sure as eggs are eggs you,ll be booing and jeering him...

Signing the reigning Man of Steel isn't a big signing?

Someone is spoiled.

BetFred are offering odds of 7-1 that Sam Tomkins will sign for Warrington.

Salford are actually favourites at 5-1.

There's no price on Wigan. That suggests to me the traders think it's a foregone conclusion he's signing for Wigan.

Warrington were 1/3 v Huddersfield and were 1/5 v Castleford at Betfred.
The result draw at ht and Castleford win was 33/1.

Being favourite is only odds not results.

I was just informing people of the odds.

If you're that confident that Tomkins will be a Wire then I suggest you lump on the 7-1!

Easy Money!

On what basis do you think Tomkins would even consider signing for Wire, who at the moment are total no-hopers.

Warrington, after a few years of relative success, are currently disappearing back from where they came...lower mid-table

Why relative success?

0 Grand Final wins.



"just like the last one, it's" etc etc

3 actually, or is there a magical cut off date for honours Mr Troll?

Gotcha. So what you are saying is that you believe Sam Tomkins would never ever consider an offer from Warrington?

This is an offer from a club who are amongst only 4 in the league who have actually won ANY silverware since 2005. The club that are the 4th placed team in terms of honours won during the All time Super League period who remain in Super League ? Warrington who were gash up until 6 years ago and achieved this in the last 6 years ?

Only silly billies like Steve and opposition fans quote that "It's our year" nonsense.

Like his avatar counterpart, it's best not to encourage the senile.

Yarkshire born
Yarkshire bred
Strong inth'arm
I think we know the rest

Jason Robinson to Sale Sharks
Robinho to Manchester City
Lebron James to Cleveland Cavaliers
Adrian Morley to Warrington
etc etc etc......

Money talks! Past success means very little. A player does not sign to go in a time machine and live in the past, they sign for the future.

Plus Wire are one of only 5 clubs who've won anything in a decade.

Just ignore Bruce, he's as much a s**t troll on here as he is on the Virtual Terrace. It's laughable.

Chin up Bruce

All you need to do is mention how the Hull Derby isn't the best game over the Easter period and he'll go off on one, and go in a huff like he did on the VT.

More from Tomkins, keeping it cryptic -

From BBC :

But Tomkins, who cited homesickness as his main reason for wanting to return to England, will remain in rugby league and Wigan are strong favourites to sign him.
"Everyone's going to think that's going to happen, aren't they?" added Tomkins when asked about a move back to the Warriors. "That was predictable that everyone would assume that.
"It's one of those where I can't say anything until I do sign somewhere and it will all be out of the way.
"Once it gets released it will be a lot easier for me wherever I am," continued Tomkins. "I don't think the announcement will take too long and hopefully it will be out of the way, not only for me but for people asking questions."

That was a telephone, radio interview from George Riley on 5 live yesterday.

Interesting that he keeps it open ended, we'll all know by Sunday I would have thought.

why doesnt he just say im signing for wigan blah blah blah...must be starved of attention

He did the same when the world knew he was going to NZW.

Seriously if he goes anywhere other than Wigan I'll show my backside, and i have zero intention of doing that.

I think Sam is giving the Pies time to try and raise their bid to match ours. The longer it goes on the more likely I think he'll be a Wire.
I honestly think if it was such a done deal he was going to Pieland, Pies would have already issued a press conference by now.

I think it's down to money and Leneghan can't/wont match Wire. Maybe there trying to get sponsorship as part of his deal. Sam is giving them time to secure it.
Imo

I think he would sign for Wigan straight away if that were possible. The undertones in the interviews does make it seem like there is a contractual or financial barrier to that somewhere. Potentially the salary cap, potentially something in the contract that he signed on his way out. Perhaps they have to repay the £750,000 if they resign him?

I quite fancy Leeds or Wire, just for the fact that it would annoy Wigan so much. It would be hilarious. He hasn't always had a smooth ride at Wigan either. He was getting serious abuse towards the end of his time there as they believed he wasn't trying and wasn't committed enough. It was quite clear he wanted out of Wigan ASAP when his NRL move came up. There is also the issues of Zac Hardaker. He's had so many indiscretions at Leeds that they've now released a statement publicly chastising him and making him work 20 hours a week for the marketing or community development teams. That kind of thing just makes it untenable after a while, you see it all the time, people who are in trouble with work pretty much always end up leaving. If that's the case I could definitely see him moving on, which opens up a possible run of moves cascading through SL.

His return to Wigan is probably the most likely outcome, but I could see a stint in France or Salford if Wigan have cap issues for a season.

I can't see him going to Leeds given the reception he got at Headingley when playing for England. It'll be Wigan no doubt.
