Where this myth that Sams defense is weak comes from i dont know. His defense is excellent for his size. Of course if someone breaks through our line with support, 9 times out of 10 they are gonna get past him, like anyone else in that position. If it was a 1 on 1 though I would have confidence everytime. Still got that vivid image in the grand final of his 1 v 1 tackle on Matty Smith. He would be more than fine at 6 in regards to tackling. Which is where he should play

There's some tosh written on here about Sam Tomkins. Poor defence, ball greedy, poor kicking game, what a load of rubbish. Just rejoice that he plays for us and try to learn something about rugby league.

This.

It's no coincidence that his best moments have come this year when playing off the cuff. He's too restricted at full back to be part of the 'move' rather than doing what he does best at 6 which is to react to what is in front of him. Kicks over the top, running the opposite way across the field to set up the Charnley try, there's two examples. We are lucky to have him.

I once remember Shaun Edwards returning from a serious knee injury and getting booed at an home game V Hull KR, once again proof that some Wigan fans know ragg all about the game. Reading some of the posts on this tread I see some fans brain cells havent evolved over the 20 odd years or so.
This kid is probably twice as talented as Shaun Edwards and has the same winning mentality, give a lad a break and just sit back, watch, enjoy and think yourself lucky youre in an era in which he will be in his pomp.
Its only when I look back now and remember the likes of Hanley and Gregory do I realise how lucky I was to watch them and the team around them.

Fully agree. Giz did get some $hite under that Pop Stand at times.
