I wouldn't rush him one bit, give him every chance to get back to the Sam that we hoped he would be on his return from NZ!!shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Expected back in April.
I'm sure I posted this already this morning??Wane reveals time-frame for Tomkins comeback
Shaun Wane has revealed a possible recovery time-frame for Sam Tomkins.
The coach hopes to have the former Man of Steel back on board early in the new campaign. The full-back is recovering from foot surgery which ruled him out of Wigan’s Grand Final assault and England’s Four Nations campaign.
“March-April... but it’s still not a definite time-frame,” he said, when asked about Tomkins’ likely return to action. “We’ll see how he is when he starts running, we’ll know more then.
“He’s had a plate in there and that has to come out, and so there are some things that could dictate when he’s back. But he’s training really well and he’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Fans had already been told his injury would eat into 2017 – which prompted the signing of French livewire Morgan Escare. But until now, it was unclear how long of the campaign he will be sidelined.
The news will be welcomed, given Tomkins’ comeback campaign was delayed by a knee injury.

I think you have a point most if not all were happy to get him back and give him the time to get fit again but it's a case of here we go again with him,he's going to have to start to repay faith shown in him at some point.Wandering Warrior wrote:Make or break this year for him.

Can he do it?
Sam will need to adjust his game because the lightening speed he once had will not return. He has still got the vision and passing skills so I would expect that he will move back into the halves eventually. One thing in Sam's favour is his desire to succeed, it is on a par with the greats such as Giz and Hanley.Wintergreen wrote:I hope he can.
