Tomkins over Slater and everyone else at the moment for me. Wigan are dull. Like Bradford were dull in the early noughties.

Tomkins: Love him when he plays for England, hate him when he plays for Wigan.


I don't know whether it's because of orders from the referee, a poor ability, or something else, but the linesmen are generally dire the past few seasons. The only time that you usually see them get involved is when there's been a brawl.

Sam Tomkins.

What a one dimensional player

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Get stuffed. Bradford were completely outplayed. Wigan don't cheat, they use the rules to their advantage. If you think you can do a better job than the officials we have go on a course and see how you like it

Just accept it boys and girls. Second half tonight the whole Wigan team was sensational.

Not sure if you know this but the TJs speak to the ref right through the game using there communication kit. They do not use signals in the pro game because it saves the ref having to look and he can choose to overrule the input without a riot in the stands. It's actually really interesting to hear how much the TJs speak to the ref and the amount of input they give.

They also give input when a try has been scored hence why the ref looks to his TJs before giving a try.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed, every now and again you can hear it on Sky where you can hear the TJ saying "so and so - offside right" or "offside, not involved" etc.
The only problem I have is the inconsistency with forward passes.

Quins fans. A club where they all know each other by name.

I love tomkins but nobody can touch billy the kid.

Tomkins is at this moment without a shadow of a doubt the best player in the world!

utter Bollocxs wait till the 4 nations he'll get eaten alive just like every other wannabe, the same in puffball too.

Btw there is no player in england thats BITW.

Look, not every player or every team is as sh[ii[/it as Hull KR. Even Leeds.

Tomkins is not the best player in the world. I hope he has the worst game of his life next week and then is raring to go for the 4 Nations. If he plays for England like he does for Wigan he'll give the Aussies something to think about.

He does not have the same service playing for England, they are poorly coached, so he won't look as good for them.

He is definantly them form player in world rugby. Over 20 tries in his last 12 games I think.

I don't think you can class any player playing in SL as the best player in the world unfortunately.

Better than Slater? Someday hopefully but not now.

And it seems the Wigan fans are already getting out the excuses if Tomkins fails for England. Surely if he's that good he'll shine even in a losing cause. He's got plenty of years to succeed anyway and for England i hope he does.
