 |  Not seen Bowen play for years but some posters who have seen him play reckon he will be the best fb in the league next season which is encouraging from a Wigan perspective.

 |  I read that they paid £700k for him.  That's astronomical for a full back that can't catch and doesn't perform in the really big games.

 | Yeah Tomkins ain't that good. Who the hell would pay a world record fee for him?   
Great news for English RL. £700k injection into Wigan. That's a big big number!
 
Just imagine if they make another Tomkins!

 |  Isn't the 700k in Aussie dollars and not GBP? Which would make it £412,000?

 |  When Bowen retired the other week, I thought to myself, i've not heard his name mentioned for ages in the NRL, almost like a bit of a lost soul.  
 
I'm not surprised he's in the SL though, but I am a bit surprised wigan went in for him, he's not the class he used to be.   
 
In saying that, sometimes a new lease of life and different lifestyle can inspire a man.

You can't have been watching the NRL that closely then.

A NZ club probably wouldn't pay an English club in AU$...

 |  Bowen will be a good short term replacement for Tomkins. He is still going good imo. 
 
Will be interesting what happens with Kevin Locke for NZ, I think he is pretty good. Is he moving elsewhere?
