The good news is he can play for England within a couple of years if he's any good. Then Wigan can get an exemption for him as well.

Seems the reasons behind their desperation to have the cap increased are becoming clear now:

Is this right? So after all the moaning about the cap and keeping hold of Sam, it turns out they needed the increase to sign an NRL centre after all and not to keep Tomkins.

Apart from, he's not playing in the NRL he plays for a Toyota Cup team called the Vulcans. Keep trying Saddo, poor, poor effort.

I'd love to know how Wigan are "abusing the new cap rules" full stop. There's a free quota spot and room under the cap. A 20-year old Toyota Cup player won't be on a massive wedge!

You really are obsessed. If you look at the players we have lost and look who we have brought in its no wonder we could fit it all in even with Sams increase in salary.

Hoffman, Coley, JTomkins and Deacon will all have been within our top earners, not forgetting a certain Martin Gleeson who will also have been part of this group.

Then bringing in 3 players from Crusaders and then a centre who plays in the Toyota Cup or something along them lines.

I think you should concentrate on your team and the how excited youll be at playing Paul Wellens at full back all season again.

If you knew anything about rugby league you would know the Vulcans are the New Zealand Warriors 3rd grade side.

New Zealand Warriors (First grade)
Junior Warriors (Toyota Cup)
Auckland Vulcans (New South Wales Cup)

They are an official feeder club and are comprised of development juniors and players not deemed worthy of a place in the NRL club squad system.

If he'd been from the North West, It would be regarded as a triumph of scouting for young talent, on a low contract, low risk but high reward.

As he's from the Southern Hemisphere, he must be an average at best criminal who's on 48 Million a year, of which only £3.50 counts on the cap.

How does anyone know he is on a low wage?

I wouldn't move to another country that is expensive to live for the sort of money people are quoting on here.

Really surprised if he gets a Visa with his lack of first team appearances, unless he has an EU passport.

Well he'd be getting more than he's currently on at Auckland Vulcans obviously
