Just read a Retweet by Sale Sharks News which was orginally posted by Neil Fissler whose apparently a Rugby Union Journalist. Reads as follows:
"I am hearing that @Saracens are going to announce tomorrow they have signed Joel Tomkins from Wigan Warriors #rugby @premrugby"
So its looking more and more like the difficulties have been overcome and Joels heading to Union.

To be honest it will be a relief once it's announced. At least we'll know then and can move on

Fissler used to report on London Broncos for League Express IIRC.

reading some of the replies on his Twitter, he's a bit confused. Said that Sam wont go for a while yet as he's ages to run on his contract. Bizarre, if i remember correctly, Joel & Sam's contracts end at the same time...

I'd have to agree. I was thinking a bare minimum of £350k. That's still less than £100k a season for the years he has remaining on his Wigan contract.
Glad that it's coming to a conclusion though. But can't hide my disappointment at seeing him leave. |

IMO we should not have him back, i would just make a stand they cant go and when it goes wrong expect to walk back through the door. We make it to easy |

Bit short-sighted that mate. Would you feel the same if Sam went and decided to come back? |

Hope he fails and comes back with his tail between his legs.
Edit: Dont blame him for taking the money though.

I get the impression that he despises RL now but I do remember him writing for LEx. Curious. |

Yes i would i might be a bit over the top in some peoples eyes but if sam went i wouldnt want to no him no more he would be a judas same as anyone else who switch codes. But thats just my opinon i cant stand Rugby Union same as most Rugby union people cant stand Rugby league |

Can't blame them for following the money though. If Joel and Sam are succesful in Union they could earn enough money to set them up for life. They're never going to do that if they stay in Super League. It's a short career and a long retirement |

You can't buy fame though and I can't see either being a legendary success in RU. Sam has the world at his feet in RL. |
