Not seen Bowen play for years but some posters who have seen him play reckon he will be the best fb in the league next season which is encouraging from a Wigan perspective.

I read that they paid £700k for him. That's astronomical for a full back that can't catch and doesn't perform in the really big games.

Yeah Tomkins ain't that good. Who the hell would pay a world record fee for him? icon_wink.gif

Great news for English RL. £700k injection into Wigan. That's a big big number!

Just imagine if they make another Tomkins!

Isn't the 700k in Aussie dollars and not GBP? Which would make it £412,000?

When Bowen retired the other week, I thought to myself, i've not heard his name mentioned for ages in the NRL, almost like a bit of a lost soul.

I'm not surprised he's in the SL though, but I am a bit surprised wigan went in for him, he's not the class he used to be.

In saying that, sometimes a new lease of life and different lifestyle can inspire a man.

You can't have been watching the NRL that closely then.

A NZ club probably wouldn't pay an English club in AU$... icon_wink.gif

Bowen will be a good short term replacement for Tomkins. He is still going good imo.

Will be interesting what happens with Kevin Locke for NZ, I think he is pretty good. Is he moving elsewhere?

Nah it's defo £700k. Wigan have said it's a "Wigan-record transfer fee", and the fee for Fielden was £450k.

News here says we're paying him NZ $750,000 a year in wages. That's about 325k in pounds.

As an individual he'll pay NZ$240,000 in Tax on that......Auckland's not the cheapest city on the planet, but he should be able to get by on NZ$10,000 a week after tax 6.6318359375:10
