Tommy is a fantastic rugby league player. Very strong in defence (ask Mary ) puts on some massive hits, broken field running is up there with the best in the world, sidestep is awesome, shortkicking game is very good, long kicking game is improving and you can tell he's worked on it. He is our best 7 and our best 9 too, much like Pat last season being our best winger and full back. I agree with someone who said the club made a mistake in signing a 9 instead of a 7 pre season but that is something we are going to have to live with and make a positive. Tommy, IMO is our best player and thoroughly deserves a new contract and should be made our back up (or maybe even starting) 9 next season. For now he should be left at 7 with Sam as his partner, give us some stability for the rest of the season because I think this is the only way we will have a half decent season. Our backline should be,

Pat
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough
Sam
Tommy

For the rest of the season, and it is up there with the best in the league.

said for a while tommy leu is one of our best players...and he always shows the passion for the club and the town...he is as much wigan as a wigan lad would be. he's shown that time and again, particulary last year or the year before when he seemed to be crying when coming to the fans after the leeds eliminator loss!!

Top bloke and a quality player. for me from what ive seen this season i would have to say in an ideal world for next year riddel would go to be replaced be lockyer or someone of that ilk. (riddel is fat overweight and has offered us nothing this season imo). tommy would move to starting 9 with macca off the bench, and our new w/c half back would play week in week out with sam tompkins. leuleui's best position is clearly hooker IMO.

completely agree - TL should play at 9 because he can cause havoc when the opposition is on the back foot. When we're close to the oppo line he just doesn't seem to have the skills required to unlock tight defences. Besides a prop we are crying out for a creative, marshalling half back

Thomas Leuluai never fails to impress me and even in some embarassing defeats over the past couple of seasons he's still given 100%.

Well done Tommy!

Keep it up lad.

Very much agree and I think Sam Tomkins is better at kicking for depth. He usually manages to split the fullback and winger making the ball bounce whereas against St Helens Leuluia kicked about three times straight down the oppositions throat.
