Joel Tomkins???

Post by Richymac »

I have heard that he is being chased by Salford as Saracens need to cut their wage bill. This could be a move we are interested in with Thornley out for the rest of the Season and not long left in the union season. Would be a good move if it happens and he hasn't played much rugby this year so he may be up for a move to get more regular appearances

According to the Sarries website he's injured.

Well, alongside Sam, SBW, Greg Inglis, Kevin Locke and Tim Sheens, you have to admit he is in stellar company! :lol:

Well - we do have the money.

And we are short of a decent centre. But I'd put JT back in the second row.

Great news if it comes off :)
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I thought after the WCC we were after larger forwards?
Joel is a back rower who's 6'5" - a big man.
Maybe we still hold his registration, which if we are after him then surely we could outbid a rival club as they'd have to pay a transfer fee as well as match our salary offer.
A great rumour!

Would have him back in a heartbeat. Was a step back when he left, and he's a player we need, either as a centre or a forward.

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

I'd have him back without doubt, especially if he was the only Tomkins on the pitch. He got a reputation as a penalty machine but half the time he was just looking out for Sam. That try at Wembley was one of the all time greats!
