You have to think so.
At the game on Friday, the talk in the press room was that there'll not be the eights next season, but exactly how it'll be managed nobody was sure.

If there is, he must have a clause inserted in his contract that nulls it?

But imagine it got nulled, where would he go? No one would have the cap space to afford him. No way Tomkins signs for us unless he is certain we are in super league next year imo

https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... -1-9166129 What if Catalans are relegated at the end of this season? I’ll be going regardless. I had to speak to them about it – my contract is there whether they’re in Super League or the Championship, that’s all sorted.

I watched Tomkins yesterday-with the eagle eye I used to reserve for Monsieur Duport-and can report that though he somehow was awarded man of the match he has become a good-but no more than that- player ,who has lost a lot of his pace.

Shaun Wane : Mon May 21, 2018 9:11 am  

the word around Wigan a few weeks ago was that Sam Tomkins was joining the Dragons with Shaun Wane following to take over as coach for 2019. Lo and behold Tomkins has signed and Wane has announced his departure this morning. Must admit I was doubtful when I first heard it, but I strongly suspect this rumour is true and it is being propagated by RL journos on Twitter now too.
