As a Wigan fan I love how this has wound everyone up! I think this is just Wane's way of developing an us versus them attitude towards the latter stages of the season. He could have mentioned anyone but the fact it was Tomkins means it gets the most media coverage in the league and will provoke a reaction.

However much people dislike it, the end result is that referees will sub-consciously be looking at every collision Sam is involved in. And nobody is going to target him any more than usual because we have scored most of our tries on the back of defences being unsure of whether he is going to receive the ball or not. I wouldn't think even SL coaches are stupid enough to instruct players to fly out the line and try to put more hits on him, we'd score every set if that was the case.

Oh the Irony!

Just listened to the full interview between Shaun Wane and Radio Manchester, the guy should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute if he carries out his retalitary actions.
The guy will not accept the RFL judgement and from now on his team will playing according to "Wanes World". Listeners ringing in saying he is a total embarassment.

Are you THAT arrogant that you don't think "Tomkins. S" would get booed if he played for Leeds, Saints, Warrington, etc.?

Happy anniversary, its this weekend those years ago you lost 75 - 0
