| Firstly.. Hi!
Secondly, this isn't a troll, as hopefully you'll be able to tell!!
Great game on Friday. Would've snapped your hand off for a draw prior to kick off so, obvious disappointment aside, I'm forcing myself to be happy we got a point. You can't deny Tomkins is a class act though.

It's just the niggling that annoys me. Constantly involved. With the Clarkson tackle, he was nowhere near, and yet still got involved. Same against Wire last week too, just seems to be constantly looking for trouble.
I see what you're saying though, he uses the "abuse" (which for what it's worth I think is mostly pantomime villain stuff!) to channel his focus to "prove the abusers wrong". Fair point!'"
Not so easy for a 4th/5th choice goal kicker IMO!
I'm sure he'd be the first to admit he's not the greatest goal kicker and he's missed a few easier and similar to the one on friday!

But surely you've got to question his attitude? He is constantly involved in absolutely everything that he shouldn't be, constantly chirping at the ref, he's running in to get involved in fights, the arm trap thing (which he didn't do on Friday but the point stands).
'"
What??????????? Leeds are the worst side in the league for "constantly chirping at the ref".

| Im glad he is a dirty little bas**rd. People dont complain when other players try and take his head off which is almost every game so stuff it. All this crap about him deserving it is ludicrous. Maybe if the authorities had protected him when players tried decapitating him earlier in his career things would be different.
Im glad Joel Tomkins is a shi*house too, he has turned a few games for us by kicking it off imo. I dont want any players in our team who take a step back. None of our players have done any worse than what other teams players have done before but because we are Wigan its a scandal!

| What do I think of Sam Tomkins? That's an easy question.
He's the best player in SL.

Where do you think all those Leeds players came from? Did they just sprout from the ground? When half a dozen Leeds players start surrounding the tacklers it's inevitable that Wigan players would gather round too. And as for 'getting involved', nothing actually happened when the players came together except for Ablett giving Lima a little slap.
I can't think of much to complain about with Tomkins attitude during that game. He concentrated on the game even when some Leeds players thought it was best to wind him up. When Goulding won a penalty, McShane decided he wanted to get stuck in to Sam, but no one was taking that bait. Then there's Ben Cross who comes wading in for no reason in the hope of causing a bit of trouble.
Tomkins comes off quite well in comparison to some of the Leeds players.

| He's a niggly little f*cker like all great halfbacks, right? I absolutely love how he gets hated by every other team. Sam uses his brain very well in Rugby League, knows how to get every little advantage, milking penalties. So what? You only complain when it goes against you. I don't see it as an 'ugly' part of the game
Does he chirp at the ref? Doesn't really seem like he chirps that much imo, there are far far worse that do that in this league.
Sam Tomkins, what a w@nker, what a w@nker

What really irritates the opposition fans about Sam is that they expect their big tough forwards to flatten him, only to find they aren't actually tough enough.
