Sam
All eyes are on one name. Sam Tomkins and what the Warriors are going to do with their highest paid player. The long-term extension of Morgan Escaré only complicates things, Escaré’s new contract also includes a one-year option to extend the deal at the end of 2020. It is believed that Tomkins injury to his ankle has had more complications and he could now miss the entire 2017 season. There is whispers that the club may offload him or even a retirement could be on the cards. Sad news for such a talented player.

Re: Sam
Seems a little unsubstantiated. I've not seen, heard or read any suggestion of retirement or offloading him anywhere else.

Re: Sam
I wouldn't take much notice of this website, you will have noticed that it publishes a lot of rumours and as such it is bound to get something right sometime. The Sam rumour will soon be put to bed.

Re: Sam
Trouble is with the Sam rumours they make more sense than him coming back from injury
The club have signed escare long term, i refuse to believe escare at 25 would of signed this to be a back up player. That only leaves 2 options
1 - Sams future is seen @ 7/6
2 - Sam isn't returning or at least not to us

Re: Sam
Using that logic, the same would apply to Dom Manfredi. I pose a number of questions, if Sam is not going to recover properly then which team would sign an injured player? Who could afford him? Why would he walk away from a lucrative contract?Wigan_forever1985 wrote:Trouble is with the Sam rumours they make more sense than him coming back from injury

Re: Sam
no one has been signed to replace manfredi though have they, dom and joe are still our starting wingers. Add to that there are 2 wing positions and only 1 full back.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Using that logic, the same would apply to Dom Manfredi.

I think Sams name is big enough to get him in at a club outside the top 4, as to who could afford him, well unfortunately for Sam he would have to take a massive pay cut in line with the risk a club would need to take on him. He doesn't have a divine right to be well paid. I dont think he will walk away but the club may get fed up about paying someone to warm a bench.
You seem to have more info than me about the internals of the club so you are probably right but from the outside Sams return for us seems to get further away, Escares deal must have been done on the basis of Sam so like i say he either returns in the halves or not at all

Re: Sam
SEFC normally has the inside track info so I'm happy at the confidence shown he'll be back.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Using that logic, the same would apply to Dom Manfredi.

I fell on the article and thought I'd share 1 because why not and 2 because I was hoping someone would step up and put it to bed.
I'm in the it's sams last chance camp because of his injuries and time off but equally I want his return to be a massive success. It doesn't have to be at FB I really believe he is capable of mirroring Lockyer who also started as a half but couldn't break in moved to fullback lost pace then went back to the halves and he didn't turn out bad. Sam is a similar build and has a rugby brain.

Re: Sam
It would not make sense from his or the club's perspectives for him to talk about return dates on national TV.

Not sure who's on twitter or not, but gelling has posed a video of sam tomkins on the pads, to which sam has replied saying this was at the end of an hours session.
Looks fine to play now never mind season over.
Suppose we will play the game until it matters.
