Just been on GMR....not heard this anywhere else..can anyone shed any light on it. HOPING ITS NOT TRUE WOULD BE A MASSIVE LOSS

Oh pi$$ off. This is all we need.

Please no.

not again

I got told yesterday from a Wigan Junior that they had offered him £120k. Could be why Nobby has started to pick him in the squad.

i wouldnt turn that down

120k for an unproven RL player. Come off it.

That's all we fu**ing need!

Just posting something I was told by a junior. I never said I believed the sum given.

He looks a more level headed lad then Chris Ashton and looks the sort who wants to cut out his career in League first and make a success of it before he'd ever think of moving on.

If Northampton are in for him i'm pretty confident he'll turn them down.

We do have one other thing on our side also in that he's under contract for another couple of seasons after this isn't he? thats more then we had with Ashton.

dont understand why union keep chasing em...a talent like sam tompkins is wasted in union.....just hope sam realises this and the draw of playing for wigan and playing alongside his brother keeps him here.

It would be a risk for the club at this stage of his career but surely we should offer him an extended contract if true to make sure we keep him.....i know its early doors but by the look of him hes the best thing to come through our academy since farrell or edwards....we lost both of them to yawnion....lets not hope sam goes the same way!

Ive heard this too
hope its not true

Oh God nooo!

No No No for heavens sake

I heard this on GMR as well.

Kinsella seemed to rubbish it and he normally has his ear to the ground.

But, if it did happen, we are powerless to stop it, we can't compete with the money, but rest assured the rest of RL would bury its head in the sand and trot out the usual "its just one player" etc and that the SC is doing its job. Until 1/2 the salary of a player who has only played for your club in his career is introduced, the better.

This is a rumour the club need to speak out on.

When does his current contract run out?

Tomkins does not seem like a big enough player to play union
However i do think he could cut it as a union player
So im 50-50 whether this is true or not
If he goes he will be a big loss tho

Who said it? One of the panel or a caller?

Think it was a caller i think mate but couldnt be 100% sure....only half heard it and my ears twigged up when he mentioned sam.

Wat was worrying tho is that GMR seemed to give it some credence....usually they just laugh and rubbish it when its one of the normal rugby league loons (who i dont know why, but seems to be about 90% that call the show!!)

Very true he is not very big, but he has the skills to cut it in Union.

Would be a massive loss.

Hopefully it was one of the usually so called know it alls that said this.

But anyone could just call up with a made up rumour. For instance, I could ring up and say that Bobby Goulding will be the next coach of France, I mean, C'mon, who would believe that???

Very true

good point tho!! tbh im not sure if it was a caller or one of the panel.....perhaps someone else who listened could help me out.

Either way tho like I say the main worrying thing was that the whole panel gave it a great deal of credence and talked about it for a good few minutes.....like i said if it was just a loon i would expect them just to have dismissed it!!

Can I ask one crucial question ? Who's his agent ?

Hope its not the same as Chris Ashton.....
