You don't expect to get to his opponent on the line *before* he's scored the try, do you?

Got sick of him trying to milk the penalty after being tackled, it worked a fair few times tonight too. Refs need to wise up!

He needs to be sorted out. The knees into Morris were awful. He should get a suspension for that, it is one of the cheapest of cheap shots there is.

His niggling around the ruck is also not only ridiculously blatant but incredibly annoying. He is a great talent but needs to ensure he doesn't go down the route of trying to cheat at every possible opportunity. You can see from the way Wigan play these days that they are told to push every single possible boundary. Some players in their side, the O'Loughlins and the Hoffman's have enough intelligence to see when to do it and when to not. Young Sam just does it all the time. Every time he's tackle he's trying his hardest to cheat a penalty, every time he makes a tackle he's leaving his hands in, pulling and pushing and just generally being a git.

funny how some players like tomkins can get away milking penalties by trapping the opponents players han/arm under his body all the time, yet reece lyne did this at cardiff playin for fc against rovers and got penalised, are referees scared of penalising certain players in this act of the game

His latest trick appears to holding on with his legs as the tackler is trying to get off him . Top player , but needs that element of his game sorting out . From what I saw on the telly he was lucky not to get a beating after he went in with his knees . Maybe that would have gone a way to sorting this problem . Wasn't it him that threw a player out of the way at a PTB today ? Surely that should have been penalised .

It was and it was so blatant and so unecessary. He's like a baddie in Wrestling. He has to cheat and cannot go through a game without doing it, even if Wigan are romping to victory.

The baddies in wrestling were always the best ones though!

Million Dollar Man & Sid Vicious were terrific as is Tomkins....all three of them!

Sam, Joel and Logan would make a great 3 man tag team.

The difference is that the video referee would surely see Sam use the steel chair and ring the bell.

I git a little tired of his antics. He's potentially a great player. However his conduct is a little class-less. He needs to suck up those tears at the end of the match too.

What really wound me up was steveo, when Wigan got the penalty after Tomkins was taken out Steveo saying he was doing the right things by staying on the floor and milking it!!

Unfortunately players tend to resort to that sort of thing when they realise that they're not quite good enough. I'm afraid that Sam Tomkins was found out last night - he's OK for SL, but nowhere near NRL standards.

Classic observations from as one would expect from Stains and Warrington fans. all I can say watch Wilkin Graham, Westwood and as for theatricals watch Briers and Sinfield.
Everyone loves the bad guy !!!!!

Don't forget that Sam takes some smacks as well

A comment on ref's needing to wise up and a picture of Graham as your Avatar? Priceless.......

St Helener in "bagging a Wigan player for the same things all other players do" shocker.

For pure theatrics look no further than Danny MGuire. In the cup game against Wigan last season he was chasing through a kicked ball, a Wigan player nudged him with his shoulder and McGuire went down like a premiership football player, with the arms waving around and everything.

A bit og niggle is not a problem as long as the player is prepared to stand up and take a possible smack for it.
