Tomkins impressed me so much against Harlequins, that I'm sure he would have made the difference against Cas and Wakefield and we would be riding high in the table right now.
And it's not just hindsight...90% of posters on here would have had him in the 17 for those two games.
Had he not played against Quins we would not have won.
He may not be so crucial against Leeds and Saints but the above games were there for the taking. How frustrating!
We would of scored more points with him in the team and the difference was only afew in both the games. I slightly agree but I dont think you can blame Noble for not throwing him first game against Wakey.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

That's why he won't make that much difference against top teams but he will improve Wigan.
We lost against Wakefield because our attack needed some spark. We lost against Cas because of inept tackling on our right hand side. Sam would have made the difference. He would have tipped the balance.

I dread the day on here when Sam has a bad game/drops a ball/misses a tackle. He's a talented kid that's for sure but people are laying too much expectation on him for me. He seems the type that can handle it though which is a good thing.

Wakey had eight missing. Who else is there to blame.
