| IIRC Sonny Bill Williams was just into a five-year contract before he was lured over to Rugby Yawnion and the fee was something like £300K.
If some RU team want to pay anywhere near that amount then let them go for it. More fool them.

| Or maybe it was just rumours after all. Or am I being a little optimistic?

For me, Joel Tomkins pulling out of the England squad was the clear indication that this was more than just a 'rumour'.

You haven't the slightest clue. Stop making random crap up.

| Mr Lenagan isn't one for rushing and in this case that's great.
If he's going we must get every last penny out of them.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Unfortunately it isn't random crap. Joel wants to leave, but Wigan won't let him go until they receive what they believe is a fair transfer fee.
Negotiations are still continuing.

I agree, that settled it in my mind that he was going. Nothing I've heard since has suggested otherwise.

| If he is determined to go ; then the clubs should get on with it. The last thing needed is for a prolonged departure that could drag to next season. The RU season is in full swing so next year could be an option for Saracens (if it is them interested); but a drop in Tomkins performance for Wigan at the start of 2012 could lead to crticism from the fans and leave him in a position similar to Eastmond.

utter cr@p
we should make saracens pay what he is worth to us (i.e. the value of his contract). If hes determined to go then he can rot in the reserves until his transfer is complete
we would have to pay him up until his departure anyway

You're very optimistic. I don't imagine negotiations will be increasing the fee. The greater the delay, the less you'll get I'd have thought. Of course Mr Lenegan may choose not to release Joel but I don't see that happening.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Supply and demand, we have the supply and Saracens have the demand.
We hold all the cards and I would wait as long as possible to get the right amount. I reckon around 200,000 would do it. Couldn't give a toss about Joel now, if they don't want to pay then make him rot in the reserves or loan him out to Swinton.
Second rowers are ten a penny and I think HH is a better second rower #foffjoelyourboringmenow

| Also I would use some of the transfer fee and try to sign Larne Patrick from Hudds or even a cheeky bid for Lomax and maybe have a dabble on Pelisier.
I like Pelisier, he seems a rum un and I like that in a 9.
Yeah, send him to Widnes would be a good idea, we don't want him at Wigan moping about upsetting the apple cart.

| The problem is, you can't afford to have a large chunk of your salary cap sitting in the reserves. This year we had Amos in that position (although different as he was suffering an injury it would seem) and another chunk in Fielden/O'Carrol who were out injured, to add to that through choice will do more harm than good imo. In some ways it's not too important what we get for Joel imo, it's not as if we can spend it or Lenegan needs the money. Although of course I want us to get as much as possible for him, and the RL fan inside me says make them pay through the nose if they want to take our players, as a Wigan fan the last thing I want at the club is a player who doesn't want to be here and a portion of our salary cap sitting on the sidelines just because negotiations are ongoing.
