Compare Sams situatuon with Eastmond at that club the other side of Billinge Hill.
Eastmond is being protected by the likes of Cunningham, Peteula, Cayless, Wilkin etc - who are all big forwards who create a platform in the oppostion half for him to operate in.
To an extent, the backs protect him and help him, Gidley and Wellens in particular from what ive noticed in games.
Sam has got Hock, O'Loughlin and his big brother looking to protect and create a platform for him. Most games the majority of our forwards arent even visable on the field. Mr Ainscough helps Sam out more than Fielden, Feka and Coley most games when were in our own half sadly.
Pat still looked like he wasn't fit, Tomkins, quite pleasingly looked gutted.
Good Lad!

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

Funnily enough, this was commented on in the pub tonight.
However, rather than saying that his looking gutted was "unprofessional" or other such b0ll0cks, we were pleased that he wanted to win so badly that he couldn't bring himself to celebrate a consolation try.
Quite rightly too, imo.
If we had 17 lads who felt that way, we'd be doing a hell of a lot better than we are right now I think.
(Plus he copped a fair old smack in the mush on his way through for that try, which probably didn't help)

poor lad he was charging about the field trying to tackle everything and trying to inspire our aussies at one time he was on some big forwards back and getting no help at all.
