Sam Tomkins

[kioli]

I read an article saying he might be coming to the NRL in 2014 or 2015.

This guy is only 23 and is an absolute superstar in the UK, by far the best in their comp. If he's interested in coming out to Aus we should be doing everything we can to get his signature.

Sign at all costs, the kid is the best British back Ive seen since the 90s.

If the NRL dont poach him bloody Rugby Union will, mark my words.

Competition would be heavy with NRL clubs, they aren't as naive as they used to be when it comes to British talent.

But I'd love the Titans to give it a go. Maybe having a Pom as our CEO may help! Haha

England's Sam Tomkins eyes NRL contract

ENGLISH superstar Sam Tomkins has put Australian clubs on alert after making initial contact to discuss a switch to the NRL next season.
The Australian understands representatives acting for Tomkins - Super League's reigning Man of Steel - have begun sounding out clubs with a view to joining the NRL's English contingent in 2014.
Tomkins, who has been compared to Melbourne and Queensland custodian Billy Slater, is also in high demand from English rugby union, but it is understood his preference is to join fellow Brits James Graham, Gareth Widdop and Sam Burgess in Australia.

Sydney Roosters recruitment manager Peter O'Sullivan has no doubt the 23-year-old would be a star in the NRL.
"He's an NRL player every day of the week," O'Sullivan said.
"He's one of half a dozen players over there that you would want in the NRL. He's elite."

Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello is closer to the end of his career than the start, although the club has New Zealand youngster Roger Tuivasa-Sheck waiting in the wings.

Asked whether the Roosters could make a play for Tomkins, O'Sullivan said: "There will be 16 clubs interested in him. Right now we wouldn't be able to afford him."

Meanwhile, Wests Tigers fullback James Tedesco will make his return from a knee injury in the club's opening trial against Penrith in Bathurst on Saturday night.

I have word that under his current contract (which lasts for 4 more years I think) he can only leave Wigan for an NRL club, not Rugby Union and not another Super League club. It's been known for some time he'll come to the NRL in 2014 or 2015 (which ever suits him best).

He would be a massive pick up for an NRL club.

If i was Matty Russell i'd be pissed off as hell if Tomkins signed with the Titans.

It'd be like Bennett following Beau Henry from the Dragons to the Knights to sack him again

[TITAN PETE]

If i was Matty Russell i'd be pissed off as hell if Tomkins signed with the Titans.

Thats like comparing Kelly & Cronk , if Cooper becomes available i'm sure the Titans will be chasing him like no other
