| Quote: Chief Scout "you mean the same Phelps and Roberts that are currently in your U20s? There is a reason you have signed Brett Finch and it's not to move Leuluai. Tomkins as been moved because he ain't no organiser. A poor old man like Deacon looks better at half back than Tomkins.
His first full season was last year not this!!'"
21 games in all comps isn't a full season however you look at it it. Sam only came into the team when Tim Smith got injured at Odsal halfway through the season. I'd actually like to hear how you know what we plan to do with Brett Finch next year. A lot my fellow Wigan fans are curious to see how that pans out with Riddell and (rumour has it) Roberts both going home
Your assertion that Tomkins can't organise beggars belief though. Have you actually seen us play this year? You don't get wingers scoring 60+ tries if your back line isn't organised. You think that happens by magic? |

He had a go? I thought he just quoted my post and forgot to say anything. Then *I* get accused of being speechless. Made no sense to me.

Sorry to interupt lads, but what have the insecurities of Wakefield and Huddersfield fans got to do with Sam Tomkins?

Drowsiness is a side effect. Make sure you don't operate any machinery.

Another thread derailed by nonsense name calling etc.
I like Tomkins, and hope he improves all aspects of his game. I'd like to see him go to the NRL where he'd be forced to develop into a better all-round player. The real danger for him (as with all British halfbacks of the last 10 years or so) is that he stagnates as he is because it is very hard to get better in SL.
Danny McGuire was if anything a better prospect at Tomkins' age, and yet he only now appears to be developing some of the skills he really should have had 5 years ago, and is still a bit weak defensively and no great kicking game.

Sam played a lot of games before Smith got injured. He had been sub for some games, then Smith got dropped to the reserves quite a few times, meaning Sam got to start.
I refer you, as ever, to Bilko's statto pages here: wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... ge_id=1509, specifically the team sheets section part way down, which show that Sam started 7 of the 1st 11 games last year at SO, with Smith either on the bench or not playing at all.
Smith got injured at HKR, from which point Sam never looked back  |
