Along with O Loughlin, Graham, J. Tomkins, Peacock (if he'd have gone earlier in his career)

I also know a few Australian clubs were interested in Harrison Hansen at one point.

It depends what you mean by make it ?..

If by make it you mean being able to get into a 17 man squad regularly i think theres plenty in superleague that could "make it".

The likes of ...

Harrison Hansen
Joel Tomkins
Liam Farrell
Lee Mossop
Gareth Carvell
Ben Harrison
Paul Wood
Jon Wilkin
Ryan Hall
Jamie Langley
Andy Lynch
Tom Briscoe
Daryll Griffin
Eorl Crabtree
Dale Ferguson
Plus a few more...

They wouldnt exactly stand out but IMO all of them would hold there own without being a huge success ala Ellis/Burgess.

Then i think theres a select few who would impress and excel over there.

Sam Tomkins
Sean O'Loughlin
Ben Westwood
James Roby
James Graham

Dont forgot about some of the e overseas players that have come over here after playing a large amount of NRL games. The NRL is alot higher quality than Superleague because the worst players are alot better than the worst in Superleague. Therfore, its a much closer competition with much harder games throughout a year. That inturn helps the better players to compete at their peak more consistantly and prepares them for the international games. Thats how i see it anyway.

do you all really think sam tompkins could make it down under? imo the only super league player who would be a hit over there is richard whiting

Never heard of him.

really? i assumed that most rugby league fans had heard of tompkins especially wigan fans

Nope. Never heard of Tompkins.

do you not follow rugby league much?

What's rugby league?

never heard of it either

I think I saw it on telly once, that Johnny Wilkinson fellow scored some fantastic rugby-kick-goals.

strange people

god bless you black and white

i live a few doors from his Gran he told her he wants to stay at Wigan for his career although she said Joel is may well go with Maguire or follow soon after

No, we watch rubgy leauge...

I thought it was rugpby league

back to topic........ie Sam.

does anyone else wonder what would have happened if Tim Smith hadnt got injured?
would Sam ever have been given the chance to show what he could do?
Right now hes performing better and better with experience.........would he now have that experience had TS not got injured?
Would he even still be at Wigan??

Tomkins played whilst Smith was fit.

He'd played more games than Smith even before Smiths injury. Thought I'd get that in there, again

Please don't go around confusing the issue with facts please - you know how upset some people get when that happens.

Wasn't that also the game that if Tim Smith hadn't got injured it was Brian Noble's plan to play Sam at FB?

He was a visionary that Noble!

He'll never make a fullback...

"He's rubbish - get rid and get the kids in!"

Was indeed.

NOBLE IN!
