Sam Tomkins hints at huge transfer

Sam Tomkins has enjoyed an amazing career at Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons. However, that amazing career is set to come to an end come the conclusion of 2023 as the French club heads into a rebuild already targeting former St Helens and current Huddersfield Giants star Theo Fages.

This is because the club are set to lose Tyrone May at the end of the year as well as Mitchell Pearce.

This all bleeds into Sam Tomkins’ strange demand for how the sport should change with regards to interviews.

“It’s lie detectors. Lie detectors on everyone that gets interviewed,” he said on the Bench.

“So if you, you know, after the post-game interview, and you’re speaking to a player and normally they just pay credit to the opposition, it has to be done with a lie detector sat down strapped to a chair with a finger on the little thing instead of having like the score in the bottom yeah just have like a red light or a I don’t know maybe they could get a shock an electric shocker.”

Jon Wilkin seemed to like the idea himself, adding:

“And you can do it like pre-season. You know the best one is when you interview coaches at the end of pre-season, they go we’ve prepared really well. And your lads. How’s pre-season gone? Fantastic. Lies. All the time.”

Interestingly, Tomkins then hinted that Pearce’s move could soon be confirmed: “So you know, when you ask Mitchell Pearce, have you got any news on your future next year? No, I’m still this… you keep lying until eventually you crack and tell the truth.

“It would be just going off all the time some yeah eventually people are go there’s no point lying. Tell me if you’re interviewing Paul Wellens they’re playing Wakefield next week and they go they’ve got threats right across the field.”

This came as Jenna Brooks suggested that this change would make Man of the Match interviews more interesting: “Also credit to the boys what are other boring cliches that we hear all the time.

“They don’t want to credit the other boys, they’re players of the match for a reason, they believe they should be, they’re with their middle around their neck.”
