good news for him, England and the game of RL....hope he rips it up out there.

Top player...and you never know...he might one day wear a wire shirt.

As much as I dislike Wigan I really didn't want him to go to the NRL. He's box-office to SL and our game will be poorer without him.

The RFL & clubs need to act and increase the salary cap to stop the NRL from draining our leagues talent.

he already did. Wire let him go.

Good luck to the lad, hope he goes well over there. Just hope the Hampshire's/Tierney's of the Wigan squad can get a but more game time behind the ageing Bowen.

Good luck to him. Hopefully now the love in will end.

It weakens Wigan. Good.

Sales of Viagara will go down in Wigan now.

Eddie Hemmings will be gutted.

Just glad he's staying in RL. Not bothered if that's here or Aus, he's still in our sport.

Massive loss to superleague

Matty Bowen is rather good...... My guess is He'll cause us more problems than Tomkins ever did....

I think BUPA will be rubbing their hands together....once great.... now crocked.

The commentary if Wigan get to the final will be unbearable. Hopefully I'll be there and not at home watching on Sky.

As for the loss to Wigan, they've lost a lot better in the past.

Not on this season's showing. Fit as a flea and played plenty of games.

agree 100% with all of that,,and for those hoping he`ll come to the wire after his stint over there,wigan have 1st dabs on him,part of his contact,

He hasn't played well for months so sincerely hope he doesn't start now in the last one or two games.


Really couldn't give a hoot he is going, he will be replaced and will be largely forgotten over here until the internationals come around.

I would rather him play well and wire beat the pies with san in there than not.

I love winning and when teams are weak and you win I still love the victory but I take more from it when the teams are at full strength, the games against big teams in which they have no excuses other than they couldn't match you, they are the games I enjoy the most.

What is the Super League Dream Team panel going to do now for the next couple of years?

Bet they are crapping themselves now because they actually have to research the full back position instead of just handing it out on a plate.

did they research the other 12 positions then?

Yes.

it was a tongue in cheek question as there were no wire in it!

So was my reply.
