Perhaps just wishful thinking on my part. One of the posters on the Wigan board swears that he is a bestist bud and keeps us all entertained with "Zack said the other day when I saw him....". Personally I do not think that ZH has a great hankering to play for Wigan but that they might be the only thing avaliable. If that is the case then it is not a perfect match.

Tomkins seems to be in great form at the moment and certainly will never be a liability, so it’d be a shame to see Wigan let him go. I can only imagine Cats must be offering silly money that Wigan won’t match, or maybe even if Tomkins has offered to play for less he doesn’t fit into Wigan’s plans. Wouldn’t like to see Hardaker replace him on the same salary though.

Hardaker to Wigan confirmed

To be fair, Hardaker and Wigan are a match made in heaven. If you had some bloke with the wrap sheet that Zak has and ask him which club he would be best suited at you would say Wigan. That said, I think its a massive gamble by Wigan. He wont be anywhere near the player he was

I’m not sure you know, there’s a club not a million miles away from us who’ve given players chances after not one but two failed drugs tests, had their own players bet against them, had a club legend (believe there may even be a tribute to such legend outside their ground) fail a drugs test for a performance enhancing substance etc etc.

Looks like that club already have a new fullback lined up to replace this years anyway.

Lets not forget that time they won the SL title while breaking the salary cap...

Why wont he? He`s kept himself very fit, granted he has not played in a year but he has a full preseason to get back up to speed, there is no reason why he wont be the same player.

I agree by the way, grubby player, grubby culture at Wigan, will fit right in. Saying that this signing is one that Saints fans can not take the moral high ground on, been that you signed a player that was done for the exact same thing and then ran to the RFL to try and get his ban overturned! Morals and all that.

Why won’t he? He’s only had a season out, some players miss that through injury

Think there is a hint of jealousy there as Saints will be playing a centre at Fullback in 2019.

Rugby leagues worst kept secret is finally confirmed.
Will Wigan be able to keep him on the straight and narrow or, will a similar thread be back in 2/3 seasons.

Still dont know how they came up with the length of the ban but, Wigan always seem to have excellent legal advisers so, it's sure to be ok.

Chris brookes wigan and England dr. star witness gets ban reduced, player signs for wigan. wigan again showing what a morally low life club they are.

Ha ha Ha!

Reckon, he'll play the best rugby of his career at Wigan.
