Good luck to him, he deserves a bit of luck. God i just browsed an article about him and realised hes only 29 still a few years left if he gets back to his 02 form.

Wilkinson needs to leave those losers in Geordie land.. He needs to play with quality day in day out.. Johnny is still king..

#8 fish out of water: No, Wilkinson has the option of cancelling after one year. The commercial side benefits of Wilkinson joining Toulon means the transfer pays for itself just like Carter's did.

does Toulon also have the option of cancelling after one year if he spends more time on the sidelines than on the field.

It will be interesting to see at the conclusion of his contract how much Toulon end up paying per-match and per-point. Perpignan knew what they were paying for Dan Carter, but he was a player without a history of chronic injury and their risk was only over a short-term contract.

Wilko makes Darren Anderton look like a picture of health.

#4 jonnymain: No, youve got it entirely wrong. Ask Big Hit. Jonny most definitely did NOT sign with Toulon 'for the money'.

“this summer everybody at Newcastle Falcons is really excited about our prospects for next season and beyond”

this says it all really, perhaps now they think they may have a chance of winning something, having got rid of the driftwood…

Nice little earner for a player at the tail-end of his career!
