Tomkins to join Sky Sports Super League Super Men
Mon February 27, 2012
Source: www.superleague.co.uk

England and Wigan star Sam Tomkins will be joining the new series of Sky Sports rugby league magazine chat show Super League Super Men beginning on Thursday 1 March.

Super League Super Men will this season occupy an extended hour-long slot as Sam joins the team alongside host presenter Brian Carney to front a new feature of the show, Sam's Super Tries.

Sam's Super Tries will see him pick his favourite touch-downs from Super League and talk to the men involved in making and scoring them. Tomkins will begin his series of features by interviewing Leeds Rhino's star Rob Burrow, who scored a spectacular try to cement his team's victory and win the Harry Sunderland Award for Man of the Match by unanimous vote in the Grand Final 2011. Tomkins will also delve into the archives to talk to retired players and rugby league stalwarts such as Keith Senior and Anthony Sullivan.

Tomkins was the top try scorer in Super League last season and is delighted to be joining the team: "It's an exciting venture for me. There's nothing more satisfying than scoring tries, especially in the big games where every point counts. It's a privilege to talk to some of the great names in rugby league, past and present about their outstanding scoring moments."

Brian Carney will also dig deep into the past for this series of Super League Super Men, catching up with former legends of the game such as Lee Crooks, of Hull and Castleford. Brian will reflect upon the longer history of the game by talking to past players whose careers came to an end long before Super League became a firm feature of rugby league.

Carney says: "Without the ground-breaking achievements of men like Alex Murphy, Johnny Whiteley and Billy Boston, Super League wouldn't be what it is today - a competition made vibrant and exciting thanks to the stunning talents of the men who went before. This series I want to acknowledge the contribution of men like them and listen to some fascinating stories from an era gone by."

The Super League Super Men series begins on Thursday 1 March with special guest Danny McGuire, one of the senior members of the Leeds Rhinos squad whose exceptional return to form late in the season saw them lift the Super League trophy in 2011. Their overall victory from 5th place in the table is the most dramatic rise in the history of Super League. McGuire will reflect on a testing couple of years which saw him overcome a devastating injury to return to a squad struggling to make an impact in the competition.

The series will also see Carney catch up with St Helens captain Paul Wellens, former Bradford great and assistant coach at Wigan Paul Deacon, and ex-Warrington and St Helens player Adam Fogerty, who traded the floodlights of rugby league for the spotlights of the stage and became an actor.

The first episode of Super League Super Men is broadcast on Thursday 1 March at 6.30pm on Sky Sports 4.

Wigan Warriors confirm that Paul Deacon has decided to retire as a player and will now take up a Coaching Role with the Club.

Speaking about the news Chairman and Owner Ian Lenagan said:

"After a fantastic playing career Paul has made the decision to hang up his playing boots and will now join the Club's backroom staff. When Paul joined Wigan back in 2010 it was always with the plan to join the Wigan Coaching Staff and he will now work closely with our new Head Coach Shaun Wane and his Assistant Iestyn Harris. Paul will be missed as a player but his experience in the game is second to none and he will play a key role in helping the Club move forward.

"Paul is yet another who is Wigan born and bred and with Shaun, Mark Bitcon and Kris Radlinski we have a nucleus of staff from the town and that is important to the Club as we move forward."

Paul Deacon added:

"It is always a very difficult decision to decide to stop playing but I have decided to end on a high with the Carnegie Challenge Cup win at Wembley. I have had some tremendous times at Bradford where I spent 12 successful years and more recently with my hometown Club Wigan in the last two years under Michael Maguire.

"I have always wanted to move into Coaching. I am pleased to be given this opportunity with the Warriors and am really looking forward to a new direction in my career."
