Did anyone else notice that in attack, he was on the shoulder of the player carrying the ball ala Edwards? When Carmont was heading for the try line, Tomkins instictively moved from the busy inside to the space outside in case Carmont was caught.
The young guy's a natural.
Yes, I'm surprised Noble didn't take him straight off! I mean, support play? Running on the shoulder of the ball carrier? Picking the right space to run in? Shocking!

Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.

I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars

I think that's jumping the gun a bit to be honest after a 50 minutes of super league, 80 of challenge cup and a few reserves and friendlies
I think we would all like to believe that but things like that should only be said a few years down the line

It's obvious the lad is a cracking talent but saying he's the best since Edwards this early on is ludicrous and just adds to the already large amount of pressure on his shoulders
Some of the expectations that are put on Sam already almost make me feel sorry for him

He loves the club and already know the pressure of playing in the halves for Wigan he has grown up knowing that and as you saw yesterday and the 28th December and the Challenge cup game he loves playing for the club and thrives on the pressure just as Edwards did

I agree with that but saying hes the best since Edwards is a pretty big statement and just adds to the expectation already placed on him
I think we can both agree that we would like to see him end up as successful as Edwards though
