No, signed immediately, Sale don't want him or rate him. (I have no idea if this is true, but it's the conclusion Rogues would jump to if Saints had signed a player in these circumstances). He's having a 'short holiday' to get something out of his system according to the paper today.
Kind of makes a mockery of their bleating about needing to change the rules to keep Tomkins though, doesn't it? I suppose it's good for the sport as he's one that the Wigan fans insisted was a guaranteed England international when he left for Union, but it makes the RFL look so stupid when Wigan pull tricks like this.
