Sam Tomkins could return to the NRL after his Wigan stint.
The English fullback plays his penultimate game for the Warriors today against West Tigers, after being released from the final season of his three-year contract due to homesickness. Despite his early departure - and mixed experience in the Southern Hemisphere - Tomkins says he would welcome the possibility of another spell in Australasia.
"I'm open to another stint in the NRL - 100 per cent. That's definitely not ruled out," he told the Herald on Sunday. "I'm going back to Wigan for three years but I don't know after that. After my [next] contract at Wigan, I'll be 29. Hopefully I'll have plenty of league left in me by then.
"For the time being, I'm looking forward to getting home and being around family and friends. But there is nothing to say I won't come back at some point - or be over this side of the world. Maybe when I start my own family in a few years, I'll be looking to move away again."
It's not easy to judge Tomkins' impact at the Warriors. He wasn't the franchise-changer fans had been sold, which was expected with the large salary and transfer fee. But neither has he been the worst high-profile buy in the club's history. That honour can be bestowed on the likes of Andy Platt, Denis Betts or rugby converts Mark Carter or Mark Robinson.
