Nah, that was Ash Robson.
Estate agent I believe. Makes plenty of money and a 50 year career if all goes well. Surprised more players don't do it. Rugby money just isn't enough to retire off.

My guess would be that Tom left due to his desire to be playing first team rugby every week, and we just couldn't offer him that. I'd also guess that the reason for a 1 year contract only at Fev would have been with a view to him returning back to Cas when he'd proved himself weekly in the Championship and experienced guiding a team around the field constantly for 80 mins each week. He seems to be doing just that, and I think we'll see him back at the end of this year, but I'd be leaving him where he is for now and let him get a full seasons experience under his belt as a starting half.

Problem is he isn't getting in Fev team as a hlf due to Jordan Lilley needing game time on duel reg from Leeds. Last few weeks since Lilley came back from injury Tom as found himself having to slot in to the full back role.

True.
Catalans have announced Tomkins straight after Wigan announced his leavening.

Saying that maybe all the paper work isn’t complete.
Sooner we’ve done our business and announced signings fans will be content and the club can get on with the season without speculation.

Really? I think we are actually one of the most lax clubs for signings (or have been historically). Few individuals willing to tell their mates, and it’s round town fast enough. Too many people who don’t respect the trust and privileged position they are in.
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

Presumably at a time that is beneficial for both clubs and the player, as well as best for commercial reasons too.
