The player who originally signed for Wigan this year then dropped out is now going on big bro

I use to have respect for this guy

MR FRISK or Gareth Thomas?

Now he's not playing, he's got to keep his name in lights somehow to publicise the film bio, I guess?

And to think the RFL are still contracted to pay this guy for the coming season; you just couldn't make it up and if you did who'd believe you. Hey?

He's working as an ambassador for the 2013 World Cup too

MR FRISK deserves the up most respect he's an iconic poster on Rlfans, Gareth on the other hand I thought he had better sense than this.

I wouldn't watch a film about Gareth Thomas. I reckon it'd be well boring.

does this potentially mean that whatever behind the scenes deal was supposedly going on between wigan and gareth thomas was cancelled, because of celebrity big brother?

I was told at the time is was due to an upcoming celeb TV deal, rumoured to be Strictly Come Dancing so I guess it was half truth.

Cant blame the guy really. He had 1 yr left him in max if he had gone to Wigan and would have probably been on similar money at Wigan as he is getting to go CBB. 8 weeks sitting around doing sod all is much easier than getting smashed up for 80mins 30odd times a season and training every day, even if it does mean talking to Sonia of Eastenders and that guy from X Factor.

Well, aren't we a bunch of happy campers. Don't see anything wrong with it to be fair... sit in the house, talk about RL for a few weeks, brag about how RL is sooo much better than RU, and how you can catch it on Sky at various dates from february onwards....

Of course, only deaf people will "hear" him, because everyone else will just hear the chickens and an aircraft flying overhead.

You seriously think this will happen??

Well, that's a boring BBC news story. Mine was much better.

THOMAS REVEALS THAT RL IS MUCH MORE ACCEPTING TO GAYS THAN RU.

(nb: this is an entirely satirical headline, and in no way actually resembles the truth)

Gareth Thomas was actually going to be given the number 3 shirt before goulding got it

You forgot the disclaimer

*but not if you're in Castleford.

that will mess-up his pre-season

hang on a minute........

Hmm, saw him outside the Oval cricket ground on Monday. Thought perhaps he was trying his hand at cricket. A latter day Jeff Wilson if you will.

was that "campers" bit intentional in a thread about Gareth thomas?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I wouldn't watch a Mickey Rourke film they are all over hyped and crap.

Instead of Rugby, it would be changed to NFL to appease/appeal the American market.
