Samuel Tomkins injured in the warm up to the game in Perth. At least the crock got a chance to see Perth.

aboveusonlypie...
If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

He didn't even make it to the warm-up. Third different injury this year.

How did your favourite FB Morgan Escare do last night? You know when Catalans were leading by 6 points and he had a break and should've made it a 12 point lead but fluffed a breakaway and Warrington dominated from that point on? |

According to MR CAPITAL USERNAME, the best two attacking teams in Super League are 8th and 10th respectively. |

He is right when he pointed out they could/can attack very well. Unfortunately he appears to be clueless that RL is a game of two aspects, attack AND DEFENCE. Both Catalans and HKR has the 10th and 11th worst defence in the competition with only Wakefield worst.
You can't defend, you don't be successful, simple as. Regardless of how attractive some of your attacking play ca be. |

Seems to be picking up injuries quite regularly this season...I think that The Warriors in NZ got the better deal when the Warriors of Wigan agreed to pay to take him back......he's not an NRL standard FB! |

If you look closely at the video in slow motion you will see that Morgan Escare was grabbed by the top of his shirt, perhaps his collar, and jolted just as he was trying to pass the ball, which is why the ball went inaccurately to nobody. |

Anyone who follows the NRL regularly will know that Sam had an excellent season last season. He scored 13 tries which was more than Billy Slater and Greg Inglis and made 11 assists IIRC. He wasn't found out defensively either. He got a lot of credit for his courage too. Ok he didn't rip it up like in Super League but he did just fine.
He will end up playing half back where his ball handling skills will help to compensate for the inevitable loss of his blistering pace, as the injuries take their toll.
Sam is a once in a generation player. I wanted him back at Wigan more than any player in the world. I'll put up with the odd injury or dropped catch to see his genius back in Super League. Couldn't be happier.

I thought he had a reasonable to good season without being outstanding.
The fact he has shown his desire to return to Super League does not make me feel his NRL experience was a success in any measure.
This season has hardly seen him on the field may be bad luck with injury. |
