Fair do's. I thought I may have read it on here but if I did, like 90% of the stuff on here, it'll be a made up FACT.

You didn't. From the accounts:

21 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

In [uJanuary 2012[/u an agreement was reached with Saracens Rugby Union Club Ltd for the transfer of Joel Tomkins for £240,000, [upayable over 2 years[/u.

Given Wigan published abbreviated accounts we don't know if they included this in the 2011 Accounts figures as the detail simply isn't there, or if they were simply flagging it up (as they are required to do).

Yeah that's right. On that basis the accounts won't have included the money in 2011 and the profit wasn't dependant upon selling players.

Wigan officially announced his departure to Saracens on November 7th "with immediate effect" so within those accounts timeframe. God knows if it's included or not.

I wasn't expecting Gelling to be world-class straight away, but that didn't stop the pitchfork and torch wielding lynch mob going after the lad.

It could be worse for Taylor than Gelling - he's being "bigged up" by quite a lot of people and if he doesn't deliver quickly then he'll be the latest in a long line of scapegoats (which ironically has included Andy Farrell!)

Taylor is a workhorse and will run hard all day. When you let him, he'll provide a good offload. He also make decent ground. If you was to liken his style to anyones it would be Peacock. I'm not saying he's that good, i'm just saying he has a similar style and with the right coaching, may realize his full potential and be mentioned in the same breath as Peacock.

I believe a certain Phil Clarke likened him to a young Jamie Peacock also.

If he achieves half as much in the game as Peacock we've got ourselves a hell of a player !!

if its a post balance sheet event it wouldnt have been in those accounts but in this years. You have to mention "big" transactions which will appear in the next set of accounts. Post balance sheet events are the "gossip" part of the accounts.
Its looking like IL waited until he received the cash before he spent it, unlike wendyball were they spend cash they havent got

too many bloody accountants on these forums
