Sam Tomkins is ready to make his comeback after withstanding all that Wigan coach Shaun Wane could throw at him in training. The 27-year-old England full-back will end a nine-month injury lay-off when he begins his second stint with his home-town club in Fridays Super League top-four clash with Hull at the DW Stadium, live on Sky Sports 3 HD.Tomkins had been plagued by knee trouble since March 2015, early in his second season with New Zealand Warriors, and missed Englands Test series against the Kiwis in the autumn in order to undergo surgery in which he received a prosthetic posterior cruciate ligament. He resumed training with Wigan a month ago and got the nod to make his eagerly-awaited return after being put through a rigorous training session.I had three players flying into him and attacking him from everywhere for 20 minutes, said Wane. It was good. I enjoyed it but he hated it.Forwards Ryan Sutton, Greg Burke and Jack Higginson were given the task of testing Tomkins ability to stand up to the most ferocious of tackles. I dont worry about the first tackle; if you watched our training for the last two weeks, Ive been tackled more then than I have been in the last eight years. Sam Tomkins He loves that physical stuff,said Tomkins. I didnt enjoy it.It was me and Jake Shorrocks, a young lad whos got a similar knee injury, and it was the final tests of our knees, three forwards throwing their bodies into you, two holding you up and one coming in and pinning your knees.We both came through with our knees intact and if we can withstand that, we should be alright for a game.I dont worry about the first tackle; if you watched our training for the last two weeks, Ive been tackled more then than I have been in the last eight years.Tomkins, the 2012 Man of Steel, scored 144 tries in 152 appearances for Wigan from 2008 to the 2013 Grand Final when he joined the Auckland club for a world record transfer fee thought to be around £700,000. Phil Clarke brings you his the best tries from the 2016 Super League season However, he opted out of the final year of his three-year deal, citing homesickness, and Wigan swiftly re-signed him on a four-year deal.Tomkins, who became a father during the winter, is relieved to finally get the chance to make his return.Im glad its finally come to the time to get my boots on and get out there, he said. Ive been thinking about playing for a month.Ive been training with the boys for three or four weeks now. I started out with just a few sessions a week but recently Ive been in full training and I feel good.Its been tough to not put my hand up and ask to play but youve got to respect the timeframe after the operation.The first few months were very tough. When I signed back last year, I didnt think Id be sat on the sidelines for the first 12 games so that was hard for me. Barrie and Terry’s biggest hits from the first 13 rounds of Super League, six rounds of the Challenge Cup and 2016 World Club Series Wane says Tomkins is likely to start on the bench - for the first time since 2009 - and plans for him to play around 50 minutes.Ive not picked my team but hell play some part in it, he said. Im leaning towards him being on the bench but Ill have a chat with him and see how he comes through before deciding on the team on Wednesday.It means everything to have him back - hes one of the best players in the world but Im expecting nothing from him on Friday. Its like a pre-season game for him.He came round to my house for tea last night and I told him I expect nothing. The fans will expect a lot but in reality its his first match for a long time. Hes going to be a great asset long-term but I need to give him time to bed back in.Hes not going be rushed by anyone at this club.Watch Wigan v Hull FC live on Sky Sports 3 HD on Friday from 7.30pm.

"I think its a good thing. When tasked to describe the character hes attempting to play in his return to WWE after 12 years removed, Bill Goldberg couldnt help but smile from ear to ear.At the end of the day, at 49 years old, its realistic to believe that a Terminator has a heart, Goldberg told ESPN.com. [WWE] gave me the ability to be myself. They gave me the ability to eloquently [speak] my appreciation of the fans and show how appreciative I am to be given the opportunity to make a difference.No, this isnt your fathers Goldberg, the man who rose to prominence behind a storyline unbeaten streak with WCW in the late 1990s and who walked away from the WWE on his own terms in 2004 after one year. And this doesnt quite sound like the outspoken actor and mixed martial arts practitioner who wasnt afraid to speak his mind in the years immediately after his pro wrestling retirement.The man Goldberg is today -- a father, husband and philanthropist -- is much different altogether, admittedly reshaped through maturity and perspective.Goldberg recently patched what had become a rocky post-wrestling relationship with WWE when he signed on to be a downloadable character on the WWE 2K17 video game. The experience led to further discussions, which culminates in his main event match against Brock Lesnar on Sunday at WWE Survivor Series in Toronto.The bout is a rematch of their largely forgettable meeting at WrestleMania XX in 2004, when both superstars were booed out of Madison Square Garden due to the crowds knowledge that each was set to leave the company.Goldberg admits he has a lot more to lose than gain in terms of his legacy in coming back, noting the difficulty of a nearly 50-year-old man doing justice to a muscular, intimidating character who is so reliant upon intimidation.His motivation, however, is twofold, and he says it has nothing to do with repairing portions of his legacy, including his underwhelming first run with WWE, or changing the perception created through shoot interviews by some of his ex-peers that he never loved the business and was difficult to work with.Its the opportunity to play a superhero for his wife, Wanda, and 10-year-old son, Gage -- neither of whom have seen him wrestle -- that Goldberg was unable to pass up. The mere mention of his sons reaction upon hearing the news of his return brought instant tears to his eyes.As a father, you want the best for your son, quite obviously, Goldberg said. You want to create the best memories for your son. To be able to be given this opportunity -- originally by 2K and now by WWE -- to come back and be that guy, I could never repay them as far as my appreciation. Im the coolest dad in the world, and they gave me the opportunity to do that.The other reason for his return has more to do with the message he is looking to deliver.Goldberg has always played the role of babyface, but one with a hard edge of physicality and an unwillingness to be pushed around (both inside the scripted realm and behind the scenes). And when he looks back to the prime of his career, hindsight and wisdom have helped him uncover a bit of regret.I look back upon my times when more people were listening to what I had to say, andd I didnt say enough, he said.ddddddddddddThe idea of being a true role model for children may sound like its straight out of the Hulk Hogan handbook from the 1980s, but its something Goldberg takes very seriously. Its why he has taken the time to stop and briefly connect with as many children as possible in the front row of live events at each of his recent appearances on Raw.The platform of Goldbergs message is a recommitment to basic manners like yes, sir and no, sir, please and thank you, and opening the door for women.If I ever see one of you guys out there not doing that stuff, Im going to call you on it, Goldberg said. It wont be a Jackhammer [coming your way], it will be a punch. Honestly, those are the simple basics in life. Everything emanates from the basics, from your base. If you dont have a strong base, Im sorry, but you are always going to be coming back to it, trying to reattain.I believe in the simple things in life; everything derives from the beginning. You take things very simplistically and try to be the best person you can be. If I can touch one or two kids in this next generation who havent seen me do my thing, then Im way ahead.Goldberg calls his WWE return a one-time thing and isnt willing, at this point, to entertain the idea of continuing on toward WrestleMania 33 next April. Part of his reluctance surrounds how big of a critic he is regarding his own work.In fact, the perfectionist within Goldberg was particularly upset with the brief spill he took inside the ring while delivering a knee to the face of Rusev during an Oct. 31 appearance on Raw.When I fell on my ass on the ground, it felt like s---, Goldberg said. The deal is that I hold myself to an extremely high standard, and its a standard that can never be ... its unattainable. But it drives me to be the very best in everything I do.Goldberg isnt expecting to have a five-star classic with Lesnar from a technical standpoint, but he promises plenty of hard-hitting violence. While the showman in Goldberg has talked publicly in recent weeks about putting Lesnar in the hospital, his real-life expectations are that hell probably be sitting in the bed right next to him when all is said and done.I was stiff before he was stiff, so you remember that, Goldberg said. And Im not proud of that but ... Im proud of that. I dont have a problem with being stiff. As a matter of fact, thats why I went to Japan to wrestle [in 2002]. I enjoy it much more. I think its much more realistic to the mixed martial arts aspect of it.Asked what success looks like for him on Sunday, Goldberg said it goes beyond getting his hand raised inside the ring. That part -- the scripted winning and losing -- has never bothered him.My life is not predicated upon being the winner -- its about the journey, he said. Its about the legacy that you leave, the impression that you leave. There are a lot of things that I have to attain.At the end of the day, if I come away with nothing other than the smiles on my wife and sons face, Im Santa Claus ... or Hanukkah Harry! ' ' '
