I accept I’m in the minority here, but I have got a bad feeling that Toby King is going to turn out to be a great signing for Wigan. They’ll get him fit, he’s a big guy who’s relatively quick, a good defender and an excellent kick attacker. He could be excellent, as we’ve seen in short periods of his career.

Wigan may improve his defence which isn't great - it's very erratic, his hands and ability to draw the defender are not the best, he's also not remotely elusive. However, I think he'll probably play the best rugby of his career whilst at Wigan

Usually the main reason for a professional moving jobs.

Correct but not a good motivation to succeed especially when he was aware it would be his last big deal.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know how much a player is paid? Do Wire have a transparent salary cap?

What is a salary cap?

Nope, it's just constant hearsay and what people THINK our players are paid.

Our club leaks like a sieve.

When did Leigh become the Leopards? And where have I been?

Holmes isn't on loan either. It's a one-year contract. Also surprised that we've lost Gannon. Maybe we just have too many forwards now.

Have you seen the shirt and badge for the Leopards rebrand? Even specsavers have tweeted giving them stick, if it isn't a wind up for publicity its hiarious!

I wonder if we paid out a proportion of his remaining 2 year contract with us?

I would imagine so. But I'm sure that won't count on the cap as it's a pay off.
