Joel Tomkins : Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:01 am  

Interested to know peoples opinion if Joel was to play in Lockers testimonial tonight.

If Joel is good friend of Sean's I see no problem with that as it's all about our Captain tonight. Does any one know how his progress going at Sarries?

havent got a problem with it in all honesty, it's a testimonial game so shouldn't be taken to seriously. I feel the current squad should have chance to play amongst each other first to have a bit more time together on the pitch, but ultimately , its all about lockerz and having some great players who have played with him throughout his career make an appearance isn't a bad thing.

He'd get booed, sadly.

Only by bigoted idiots who can't see that he took up a very good offer to play elsewhere. If Lockers is happy for Joel to play then why should the speccies have ago at him?

Totally agree.

JT gave his all at Wigan but decided to move on - the Club has moved on and so should the speccies!

Anyone who spoils Lockers big night by boo-ing anyone is beyond reason .

Can't make it tonight due to location , but have a ticket and will buy a programme .

Congratulations big man

Would Farrell be boo'd if he played? After all, he did the same thing as Joel...

I suspect not!

It's not something I'd cry out about but I don't believe he should have the opportunity to wear the badge so soon after committing to another club & sport so recently regardless of the occasion and the welfare of career/financial interests.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame Joel for making the switch as a player should not be ridiculed for the personal ambitions but in my opinion he made his decision and should not be granted the honor of representing Wigan if he is contractually & personally committed elsewhere.

Having said that, if it's what Lockers wants then fair enough but I wouldn't be cheering his name nor celebrating his return.
