"I can't do it" 💔 | Sam Tomkins fights back tears as he reflects on retirement

[@Tricky181]

The best Full Back of the super league era!!

[@user-yn4sl2dd3l]

Sam is quite simply the greatest homegrown talent from Wigan's academy in the Super League era. His first spell with Wigan he was - at times - unplayable. Was one of the first in Super League to modernise the attacking fullback role under Michael Maguire. A Super League legend. A simply brilliant player. Thank you, Sam.

Totally agree, for me the best player of the Super League era !!!!

Note to the interviewer: Once you've asked a question, let the person you're interviewing speak rather than 'adding' to their dialogue

[@creativeartist83]

Didn't notice she did that. There are some crap interviewers about that do this but she is certainly not one of then

[@stoneagepig3768]

I watched him for Wigan at Trinity when he was in his pomp and he almost single handedly tore us to pieces, I could do nothing but clap him off the field. He was pretty much unplayable. Good luck with your retirement Sam

[@teacher6334]

Not an expert on League at all but I find this hard to listen to. He is clearly a great player but the coach and owner should be prioritising his welfare…God knows what damage he has done with playing ‘just 5 more games!!’ that will unnecessarily affect the rest of his life.

I remember when he came to trinity in Halifax to do a project it went well for rugby lads, so Yh I wish him all best in retirement

[@nez9751]

Great player, only seems like yesterday when he burst on the scene as the best young player in the game for us at Wigan .

[@briwire138]

Been a great player. Hope in retirement, he goes back to his roots following the Wire.

[@TherymasterWidnes]

Top player
