I can't blame any of them at all tbh but I do feel Tomkins and Mossop did it in a more sensible way and a way that was very respectful to Wigan.
Burgess has taken a big gamble but it could pay off. I just feel he'd have been better served here, developing his game in a top side before going over at the peak of his powers. In that scenario both he and Wigan gain. I think his contract would have been five times higher if he'd have left it a couple of years but I'm sure he's good enough to warrant increases anyway.
Anyways it's done and Wigan move on. We're lucky in having Manfredi to step in. Whilst I don't think he's in the class of Burgess he's still very good in his own right and could be a top end superleague winger.
