Yes, the young 'uns showed the way tonight.

Well done !

It's also clear that Sam Tomkins is an articulate and educated young man.

We need more like this guy to represent RL for the future.

My highlight of the night from the pair was when they teamed up to stop a Quins try and put their man in touch. Ainscough jumped to his feet, grabbed hold of Tomkins and kissed him on the head whilst screaming encouragment. The pair of them showed a fight and passion in the badge thats rarely been seen over the past few years.

They're young and giftted but more then anything they want to play for Wigan because it's their team. They look like they enjoy every minute and that can only spread to the other players.

[quote="NickyKiss"] What he said , and the fact that Sam Tomkins read the plays so well has in supporting carmont on the outside when he scored his try . rugby brain . not a rugby brian .

I think the location says it all.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

My lowlight was the MOM interview... but I'll let the bugger off if he carries on in this vain :wink:

Seriously though, you'd think the club would invest a bit of time in media training for it's players... Tomkins came across very well, but he looks way older than 19 :wink:

Maybe they would but they never expected Noble to play them :wink: ...I think Ainscough was just a little surprised and overcome getting the MOM (who wouldn't be?)...as you say let's hope he carries on like this :D

I've posted this previously on here - Sam Tomkins has the potential to be a Wigan superstar.

He is a 19 year old who is articulate, confident, has a great rugby brain and a passion for playing at Wigan - he has coaching badges and goes out of his way to coach in schools.

The question that Wigan should be answering is "how the hell can Wigan have NINE overseas players (with most being average at best) when the town has such a rich seam of youngsters who would die to pull on the Cherry & White?"
