Why is this news on every other freakin' news and social sites, but there is ball on the supposedly official club site? It's disgraceful.

How long a close season break is Tomkins going to have this year? That would be my concern as a Wigan fan.
I seem to recall that Wigan were going for warm weather training mid-December and this was to be the "beasting" period. That could mean a two week break from playing, three at best.

Briscoe and Yeaman dont go back to training for Hull until January.
I think there is a little over reaction to this story, but that is bound to happen due to the dubious link up between Wigan and Saracens.
I personally hope that Sam rips it up and then in the interview after the game bigs up Rugby League |

| Quote JohnP="JohnP"What I do know is that, again, there's stuff about this all over the Internet & the TV news - everywhere that is, except the official site. I've said it in another thread, but recently we've had confirmation of the Joel & Tommy moves on other sites before our own, and here we have speculation throughout the weekend on all media outlets & not even a holding statement on our own.
What I find strange is that IL clearly has a good head for business, and a strategic direction, but the equivalent of Corporate Comms for the club is woeful. We don't seem to have got away from the concept of a website to sell shirts & tickets. Be honest, is it anyone's first port of call when they want information about the club? I suspect not, in which case the club isn't controlling it's own information, it's reacting to others & that's not good management.'"
Your totally correct I always read about forth coming announcements on this forum well before there is any official statement on the site and even then the likes of BBC post the announcements before our own club website. IL and the club is out of touch with fan communication. |

It's official, personally I see this as massively disrespectful to the fans who pay his £300,000 a year, the great history of the club and all the legends that have come before Sam was even born. I really like Sam as a Wigan player but for this I will never see him as a Wigan legend total disrespect to the club. IL I am also disappointed with for allowing this to happen.

QuoteIan Lenagan, chairman and owner of Wigan said: "The Wigan club and Sam are very pleased to accept the Barbarians' invitation. Sam is an exceptional player in either code of rugby and his selection shows the growing mutual respect between the codes of rugby league and rugby union in England.
"It's a great opportunity for Sam to experience the Twickenham atmosphere and showcase his talents on another major stage."
You're right, it has got my dander up more!
This quote just confirms the views of many Union fans that League is the 2nd rate form of rugby, and that all our players dream of being able to play 'proper' rugby at Twickers. That kn0b head on the Telegraph site who said Joel was moving from Economy to Business Class by signing for Saracens will love quotes like this one.
There's no mutual respect - the RFU would like nothing more than for RL to disappear. They actively worked to that goal from 1895 onwards. Giving them a helping hand with a 'try before you buy' on Sam, and glowing quotes from RL chairmen about the Twickenham atmosphere simply plays into their hands.
Sorry, but it p*sses me right off.

Spot on.
IL is a mug and is doing RL a disservice with his recent pandering to RU. |
