Man of Steel Sam Tomkins says he will not be distracted by continuing speculation over his future.
Tomkins' England team-mates Lee Mossop and Gareth Hock are the latest players to confirm moves to Australia, where the likes of Sam Burgess and James Graham are proving huge successes.
Revelation
England enforcer Gareth Ellis was a revelation in his three years with Wests Tigers before moving to Hull and former St Helens captain Graham, now in his second season with Canterbury Bulldogs, admitted Tomkins's departure would be a blow for Super League.
However, Graham revealed the switch could be good for England and said: "It's catch 22 for England with the amount of players coming out here.
"We need a strong Super League but players coming out gives them the experience of playing against top players for when they play the likes of Australia and New Zealand.
"We need the top players playing in Super League but Wigan have a lot of good young outside backs coming through and it would give an opportunity for them."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane is already preparing for life after Tomkins and gave a debut to his understudy Lewis Tierney, the 18-year-old son of former dual-code international Jason Robinson, in last Friday's 33-32 Super League win at Widnes.
Tomkins missed that game through injury but has been passed fit for Friday's game at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
"I had a pull on my Achilles a couple of weeks ago but it's all cleared up now," he said. "I had a week off and now I'm in full training."
