Glad we won't be coming up against him again but such a shame for our game that yet again we are losing one of our best players from the league .

We are done

Will we have anyone left in a few years?

the last line from the NZ Warriors release:

"Scurrah said both clubs plan to combine on a number of initiatives in the future."

Interesting & mildly concerning at the same time.

You have to do what's best by the players sadly, they make the game afterall. Shame for the club but he's going on to bigger things and I think it'd just be unfair to deny him that opportunity. Prescott's retirement this season should serve as an eye opener, these guys play short careers, we need to let tem make as much as possible from them.

I hope he cements his spot as one of the true stars of the game down under.

If he'd had a career ending injury 2 weeks ago, he'd be wanting to be paid up the full 5 years of his contract. That's what's annoying.
If he'd have stayed to the end of next season I'd have been happy, the fact that he hasn't makes me slightly not.

I Knew we should only have signed him on a ONE year contract, dam we missed an opportunity in 2010.....

Fantastic deal for Wigan, 750,000 reasons why you sold him, in Ryan Hampshire you have the next superstar. Ryan will take the game by storm

Same was said when sams brother left for rugby union, its all a wash to try to appease people

Where is all this money going for these transfer fees (im guessing over a million for sam/mossop/hock?

Who is next im guessing charnley next year

We all knew he was going to leave, it's better that he goes now when we can command a fee rather than next year for nothing.

Any idea what he cost?

World record fee, oh goody. Cheap season tickets for all next year then

Why the feck has this been announced 4 days before the biggest game of the season?? Surely another couple of week wouldn't have mattered. Now we have the circus of SAMs leaving party to contend with. Utter

Exactly. We have bucket loads of cash. So what are we going to do with it since the salary cap stops us using it for players wages? We are going to make Mr Lenegan richer than he already is!

pfft i like brettkenney/bilko idea we should have kept him against he's will and play with a team full of alienated players who would more than likely never be willing to sign a contract with wigan again.

scratch your head a realize players can earn in 1 season that they would earn in 3 years in super league. forget all that i want to go and play in the toughest league nonsense that the aussie media will be spouting its all about money and thats why a lot of players are moving there now.
