Fair enough. Quins fans do know him pretty well after all.

A shed load of cash, and 2 free tickets to Sarries' first home game.

| Wigan by the looks of things are turning into the new Arsenal by developing young players with potential and then selling them off to the highest bidder in Union.

There has been no mention of any money exchanging hands?
All Wigan are getting out of this is a friendly that the Wigan public have to pay for?

| Wigan get a £250k fee and somewhere to play the odd game when WAFC dont want the pitch spoiled.
The satements from Joel and Ian are pathetic, why can't Joel just say its the money.

More importantly, who would actually want to pay 250k for Joel Tomkins? They'd be lucky to get 100k from another RL team for him!

Synergy just means they could not stop him crossing codes or Sam would have kicked a stink up too? maybe losing both

It's unquestionable that this will benefit Saracens. Better access to arguably one of the best RL production lines.

What do Wigan get out of it exactly?'"
Well said, I couldnt agree more

I'm sure he'll love that crash ball centre position where he gets to use none of his skills and gets trampled on every week at the bottom of a pile of bodies.
He may get fast tracked into the England set up but there's a lot of big lump English centres playing union at the moment.
I can't help but feel he would have been better staying put. He could have improved as a player and made a decision later and got the same or possibly more money.
As it is I reckon he'll be back rather like Lee Smith or Chev Walker.

And?
Lenagan isn't stupid, he's not letting someone walk off a 5 year contract without being compensated for it. Just because he hasn't released the exact minutiae of the deal isn't to say all we've got is a smile and a handshake.

Even though I am a Wigan fan I am RL through and through and realise that all clubs need RL to be strong and will always back any RL club against a RU one. Whether some like to admit it or not RU is our main competitior and will swallow our game up if given half the chance. I think now more than ever RL fans need to get behind the game, both domestically and internationally, to make the game stronger.

| Shame to see him go but more worrying for me is a so called deal between the two clubs. I dont see how Wigan get any benefit in such a deal.
Saracans will no doubt be all over the Wigan acadamy.

| I think the agent(s) (and who might they be ) will be the ones to benefit most from a Wigan and Saracens tie-up.....trebles all around.

| I don't recall the same level of hysteria when Eastmond went, and he's better than Joel Tomkins.

Yes but he was not the elder brother of the most over-hyped player in SL history.
