This has come out of the blue somewhat, I had heard he was Huddersfield bound. Scored a long distance try against us at the Stoop the other week.

How come he's not thirty odd?...

Excellent signing that if it comes off. Does it mean Meli is now off the agenda and Calderwood is not being retained.

It would seem so Pete, and as we know, the Dull Daily Wail are never far from the truth...

All we need now is a world class center to complete what on paper looks a very good back four.

Mediocre, a clone of Rikki Sheriffe.
Glad the rumours of him ending up at Bulls are now finally put to bed.

Does he have to be American?

never really thought too much of will sharp to be honest.. hopefully the move improves him, maybe Hull will now move Briscoe into the centres..

A good signing for Hull, if true. I thought he was nailed on to go to Huddersfield. Unfortunately, Sharp's move is just another sign of the growing problems down south.

Also Louis McCarthy Scarsbrook is strongly rumoured to be heading to Hull FC. Things are looking a bit dodgy down London way.

London Harlequins are looking very shaky. Thats Orr, Sharp and possibly LMS gone their 3 best non imports.

Thought Louie was going to St Helens? Now he would be a good signing for any club. Plenty of potential and plenty of spirit about him as well. Really thought he'd want to stay in London, but maybe he and Mr Sharp know something we don't.

Lets bring some positivity to this thread.
At least Clubby has signed up and we know Mac is leaving at the end of next season.
Thats assuming we still have a club by then.

Well I tried to be positive

Oh and of course Good luck to Sharpey hope he goes well.

The rumour is that FC are leading the race to sign him now as they are offering him more money.

i rate him highly after playing with him and seeing him develop at quins.. i think personally he has been let down a few times by what has happened inside him and that tries that they have put down to him have not necessarily been his fault but that he got the sh*tty end fo the stick.. he scores some great tries and with a good centre inside him i think he will score more and do well.. good signing IMO very solid suer league player who could develop well in the future.. and still relativly young

I think there's a very good player somewhere in there. To be fair to him most players would struggle playing out on the wing for Quins.

Good luck to Will he has never given less than 100% in a Quins Shirt.

But it does not sound likle the club pulled out the stops to retain one of our better players.

Brace yourselves for yet more departures from The Stoop....

I was sat on the Underground train, and there was a girl looking at me. She was pretty good looking,too, I thought, "something's wrong here - girls as hot as that don't take an interest in me".
Then she came over and said - in a really strong Cockney acent - "excuse me, are you Sam Tomkins?".
She asked me for my autograph, and I was made up...until she asked me to make it out to her boyfriend. I was gutted, I thought she wanted my number

Sam Tomkins - Rugby League Week 14.03.12

After we were well beaten by South Sydney at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2010, a coupl;e of kids maybe eight or nine years old took their Wests Tigers jerseys off as I was walking off the field and threw them at me. "What's this" I said "You can have the jersey" one of them said "we don't go for West Tigers anymore". Then they ran back to their parents who were laughing. That was difficult to take, having kids who look up to you do that. I just dropped the jerseys on the ground and kept walking. It's not like we go out and lose by 50 points on purpose

You'd almost think that Quins are actively encouraging the players to look round for other clubs for next season, pre-empting what may happen come October.

Funny how Parky isn't doing his "Hull clubs will need to merge to compete with Harlequins because London juniors are so good" routine.

Though it is nice to see South London Storm get a name check in national news.
