Agree but will do a good job in the championship we will not miss him

We’ve already got plenty of them

Versatile player but not quite good enough to nail down one position. Played well in our Championship season so maybe that's his level

Joel Tomkins gone now too

Tomkins gone. Not sure I am too bothered. As always,thanks for your effort and contribution. No idea why he has gone, but we cannot have anyone who is likely to miss matches due to temperament issues. Maybe he was targeted by the opposition,and reacted accordingly but it costs the team. He was an ok forward but never a stand out for me.
If you are going to have a "bad boy" in the squad, for me, they need to be top player who rattles the opposition and gets the home supporters on their side.. Don,t think that was the case with Joel. Was his heart in the club, not sure, with some it,s obvious, Stanley Gene, Clint Newton to name just two.Not bad boys, but seemed to love the club.Wish we could find two like them.
Good luck to him, just not against us.
We are now really lightweight for players, just hope the club does not make the same mistake again by going with a small squad.
Finding the players is now the issue.Lets hope Tony Smith and Danny McGuire are the right people to do it.

Tomkins previously commented he didn't like Smith's coaching style. That's handy, because I didn't like Tomkins captaining style.

A good player that simply doesn't fit with the direction the club is now trying to go - a more open style of play rather than Sheens' more regimented style.

That salary cap is starting to get freed up......

Nobody available to sign though?

The thing with Tomkins he was good in a good Wigan team I for one would never had made him captain and I do not think we will miss him

Decent player and more importantly, non quota. Never been a huge fan apart from his one handed carry.
Who is available at the same standard in the British market?
Having said that, if he wants to go, no point in keeping him.
For "compassionate grounds" read, "some RU wassocks have offered me more moolah".

Tomkins hasnt really done it for me and i dont rate him as a captain either, too quiet for me.
Hopefully we can get someone younger with a bit of quality about them.
Its looking like we need a few players adding to the squad but the player pool isnt massive though, i think Smith will probably bring in young guys that he can develop more.

Livett did more in 3 games than Tomkins did in 20. Gave away more penalties than metres he made each game. Very average and a poor leader.
I'd have the two kids from Warrington back if they were available.
Massively disappointing if we go anywhere near Patton or Myler. Both are terrible and worse than what we had to suffer this year.

It wouldn’t surprise me if you end up getting Myler
