Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

| hmmmm ... lets see
doesnt pick him vs quins - which will be another scrappy game.
he starts him against braford and leeds, then drops him forever because he doesnt win both games for us single handedly ????

Doubt it, in my opinion he needs another season to mature further, this season he shou;d get the odd match where he makes an appearance. I understand that a player cannot be judged on their size but i predict that teams would target him as a weak defensive link. Allow him to bulk up a bit and he should be ready

Like they do with Smith now?
If Myler and Eastmond are getting regular Super League games then so should Sam without a question
We have got a player with huge potential wasting in our reserves and nothings going to change unless he gets Super League game time
Ainscough proved the other night that youth deserves their chance so I don't see any reason why Sam shouldn't be given a go

Utter Tripe not giving the lad a chance.
Cas demonstrated that perfectly:
Owen - Age 18, Shenton age 18, Westerman age 19.
Sam is 20 next month.
He is either good enough or he isnt and the only way we will find out is by him playing.
He should play next week for me with smith at 7 and tommy on the bench.

True that if your good enough your old enough, he should be given a run out, he should be swapped every match with mcillorum,
When maccy plays- 6. Smith 7. Tommy 9. Riddell swapping with Mcillorum
Tommy is swapped with Riddell when Tomkins is played so...
6. Tomkins 7. Smith 9. Riddell/Tommy

With an obviously unfit Riddell, Sam should get his chance now, for me he should have played against Castleford.

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

Too much disruption to the halves for my liking; I'd prefer Tomkins to play the full 80 with Smith and have TL on interchange with the starting hooker (Mike Mc or Riddell) |

Swapping the half back combination every week aint gonna help IMO. Tomkins should play at 6 with Smith at 7 if he plays we'll he stays in the team. |

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |
