Departing, we have Wigan's teenage full back Chris Ashton, who has been released from his contract at the JJB Stadium three months ahead of schedule in order to take up his much-publicised £140,000 a year rugby union deal with Northampton.
And in the arrivals lounge, Chev Walker, the former Leeds and Great Britain centre who is, ironically, on the verge of joining Wigan after discovering that the riches promised by the 15-a-side code are not everything they are cracked up to be.
Walker, touted as a future England international by no less an authority than Brian Ashton when he joined Bath 12 months ago, is returning north with a year left on his contract at the Recreation Ground.
It's fair to say that his move to the south west probably hasn't been as successful as he would have liked.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
Walker's fate provides further conclusive proof, if it were needed, of the difference not only between the two codes, but of the qualities required to be successful in them.
Ashton could certainly do worse than pick up the phone and ask Walker for some advice.
Because the more I think about it, the more I think the young full back has been poorly served by his agent, former Fax conditioner Andy Clarke, the older brother of TV pundit Phil.
Ashton is a special league talent, there is absolutely no doubt about that.
But his game is based on support play and dazzling kick returns rather than hoofing the ball back downfield nine times out of 10.
The money on offer may be stunning, but that will provide scant consolation when he is shivering his way through a second team match at Franklins Gardens in the middle of January.
I genuinely hope Ashton makes a success of his switch, if only because he exhibits the streak of genius that makes him a joy to watch, whatever game he is playing.
But I cannot help think that Walker's sobering experience could be about to be repeated.

CUP finals are always something to look forward to.
But Saturday's meeting between Catalans Dragons and St Helens promises to be extra special.
Not only because it is the first to be played at the rebuilt Wembley, although the return of the competition to its spiritual home will be a big enough lure for some.
But because of the excitement of seeing probably the biggest day in the history of French rugby league.
It also promises the fascinating prospect of seeing if upwards of 50,000 neutrals can out shout 20,000 scousers.
I doubt there will be anyone in the stadium who doesn't have a St Helens postcode who will not be cheering for Mick Potter's underdogs.
You can even buy 'Catalans for a Day' t-shirts, specially for the occasion.
I might even be wearing one myself.
