I've heard off numerous people that ''he's the better out of the three Tomkins'' but this seems to be a rumour that has been generated and passed along by people who haven't really seen him play, and that's unfair on him more than anything.

I've seen him play quite a number of times and he's not particulary stood out but he's still at a very early stage within the reserve grades.

Rumours and myths, that somehow become fact like that, seem to happen an awful lot on here

Don't forget, myths and rumours are created off internet forums, though they do gather momentum when posted on here.

And if Wigan are serious about making a succesful side, and the basis of this success being British/from Wigan, thats the way it has to be.

Im all for it. Id love nothing better than 13 Wigan lads running onto the field. Imagine that!

logan is a very good youngster hes 17 now hes a proper grafter seen him play lots. certainly talent runs in the family

Logan is still only 16 and only turns 17 in august.

I tried

At Wigan

Imagine 5 years time and Wigan and England's 7,9 and 13 are the Tomkins brothers

With Ainscough on one wing, Hock in the second row.

Prescott and O'Carroll at props.

This may be wishful thinking.

With Burgess and Graham around I can't see it



All the others seem possible





We can dream eh?

Thought they were Irish





Well there as Irish as Pat Richards

Would be good having a good number of academy players in the first team!

Vievers, Ainscough, Goulding, Thornley, S Tomkins, L Tomkins, J Tomkins, Hock, O'Loughlin, Mossop, O'Carroll, Prescott, B Davies, Flanagan (not really but he has been here 2/3 seasons), Tuson, McIlorum, Farrell and Hansen!

Where abouts is Ainscough from?

Marsh Bonk by the sounds of it

After his interview on Saturday night, methinks more media training is required

Hawkley area I think someone said.

Yeah that's right. Not sure if he went to Hawkley school or not but he lives in this estate.

Ask Martin Offiah, he'll put no pressure on you way too soon.

"Sam Tomkins could be the new Edwards or Gregory," he said on Sky on Saturday. Blimey, just say he's better than Edwards and Gregory combined along with a hint of Murphy & Sterling

He used to go to Tommy More and lived around there but has since moved.

lives in Hawkley

He's from Hawkley, went to Tommy Moore High School.
