SAM: AUSSIE RULES

SAM TOMKINS has given his backing to a return trip Down Under ahead of this morning’s international double-header in Sydney.

St George Illawarra will face Hull FC before Wigan take on Souths, seven days after the two Super League clubs met in Wollongong with points at stage. Tomkins (left) said: “I’d do it again next week and stay in Oz if I could bring the kids over. “We want Super League to grow and put it on an international stage and this trip has put a blueprint down for what we can do.”
