You say that it's a bad thing!

Srsly, it's one thing if Gildart goes to the NRL, but I would be gutted to see him go to Saints.

Trust in the club.

Call me a cynic, and I am by the way, but I work in sales, marketing and PR.

The club are clearly building towards the releasing the news of Tomkins departure by releasing updates and positive stories.

Now what better way to appease fans than for it to find its way into the press that one of your young potential stars is a target for your most detested rivals....only for him to re-sign a new deal with Wigan.

Is Saints interest real? Probably, is the NRL interest real yet? Probably not. In my opinion are either realistic? No. Does retaining him become a bigger story if those rumours make there way to the media? Absolutely.

2/3 year deal with us then if he progresses as we all hope he can, he will be away to the NRL. That’s my prediction.

I'd be willing to have a small wager he will stay and if he doesn't won't go to Saints,just won't happen of that im sure.

Makes sense. Similarly, Phil Wilkinson leaking Tomkins leaving doesn't make sense - Lenagan has him in his pocket - unless, Lenagan/Rads has asked him to leak it, to soften the blow. That's my theory at least.

Maybe it's a classic case of misinformation by tge club, so when we announce sam has been extended everyone sees it as a major victory.

I sensed that 3 months ago the majority of wigan fans would happily have waved sam off. Now there's a threat he's going people can see what we woumd miss.
