Just that he was always said to be a Wigan lad etc, etc but, obviously he got a gig down under and is now playing for a French side.
Ultimately, it's down to whether a player wants to go (and has an offer to play)
With Tomkins, at the time, the 3 brothers were all playing for Wigan and looked very settled. Of course it's all changed now.
He was a Warrington fan as a child. His connection to Wigan is purely for rugby, as his dad got sick of driving to Wigan St Pats from where they lived so moved closer. As far as I'm aware, he has no family roots in Wigan at all.
Ryan, however, is a Wakey lad through and through.
As for Toulouse, they could just field weaker sides when they travel. It could work to their advantage, as their key players would be more rested, less likely to get injured, and some of the English clubs will be missing some of theirs, for the same non-vaccine reasons, when they travel there. If another team has a shocking season, a good home record could keep them up.
