The tweet is from a current team mate wishing him luck

I know he's a team mate but they finished their season a few weeks back and I get the feeling Thomas wouldn't have been hanging about. He does a lot of tv work and is currently working on the paint drying world cup. I just meant Reardon may not know that much then the rest of us.

As I've said I'm happy with the signing though. I'm treating it as though we've signed a new guy for the marketing team. He's a gimmick who will bring press in firstly and may even play a couple of games secondly.

Of course it depends upon how Stuart returns from injury. stats don't tell the full story - especially with prop forwards. Coley was our key prop forward imo - not just because he made the hard yards but because he hurts people and leads the players around him. To expect Fielden to be our key prop forward next season may be streching it following his injury - i don't think we can take the risk of expecting him to be the same player he was.

Has anyone considered that Thomas might have been signed up for the coaching staff and not as a player?

With a squad sorely lacking in key positions. Again.

With regard to the Gareth Thomas signing do you not think that he has been signed with a view to attracting more Rugby Union players to Wigan the guy is very well respected in union circles.
