Please let this be true. Would be a great signing and would be hilarious to see how many Wigan fans pretending they didn't want him back! ;-)

On a serious note a few people here at the game now are talking about it and it seems there's some legs in the rumour.

Absolutely ridiculous if true and another sign of how bad we are at recruitment.

I personally don't think it's any coincidence that when he came back last year and got involved in training our attack picked up a couple of notches. I suggested it was down to TL at the time, but the usual suspects where quick to pin it all on Wane and equally as quick to denounce anything that takes away praise from thier man. Seems like I was right judging how Wane ball has returned since he's gone....

Exactly what we need on the pitch and off it as well, but hey ho I'm sure there's another Wigan born kid ready to be shoved down our throats.

I heard that we were looking to offer him a player/coaching role but there were a few problems with his injury. I was told that his wife ( Goulding's sister) wanted to come back to the uk therefore, must assume the latest rumour has a strong element of truth associated with it.
I must admit that last year when this rumour was doing the rounds I would have loved him to come back in a coaching role.
Not sure of Tommy's age but maybe we are looking for younger guys to come in?

He's only 30, turns 31 in June. He's contracted with the Warriors until the end of 2017, so I guess if there is any truth to the rumour, a transfer fee would be involved.

He's only 30. I'll be gutted if he chose Saints over us. I'll be furious if we made no offer for him.

We need creativity at 9 (even when we have MM, he's not creative) and 7, he would be ideal. And would move on to coaching as mentioned.

Daft if we are looking for younger players. We are crying out for experience and leadership. His age and experience is a huge plus in my eyes.

We'll probably end up with Bob Beswick.

I thought he was older than 30 hence my comment of a younger guy.
We might end up with Burns!!

I'm sure we all love TL, but, seriously, he is a crock these days, isn't he?

I just hope Sam Tomkins isn't the same.

He's played a grand total of 46 games since he moved back to NZ in 2013. He is indeed a crock.

Any excuse for a bit of Wane bashing though.

A comment on Facebook, that he won't sign for Saints as he's looking for a house in Orrell :lol:
Because who could commit to all them miles :lol:

Be good to see him back in SL.

He'll probably move in next door to Sean Long and Sculthorpe. Thank god they wouldn't commit to the mammoth commute back in the early 2000's......oh shhhhhiiii :?

Pretty gutting to see him go to Saints but like you say it'll be good to see him back. I just hope he gets the reception he deserves from our fans regardless of him turning out for Saints or not.
