| Quote: 100% Warrior "I thought it was a very determined effort from our boys - not the best by any standard but more than enough to see off a very determined Harlequins team.
David Howell's elbow on Sam Tomkins was nothing short of disgusting IMHO.'" can be expected from a wigan fan but I thought he milked the situation  but that's just my opinion |

you run and let someone elbow you in your face and see if you milk it.
I thought that tomkins was very lucky to not get seriously hurt, cheekbone could easily have gone there imo.

My lad had a theory that Sam T was sin binned because Ganson saw the Saints score and had a hissy fit because we were all chuffed.

Think you are way off the mark there, Howell made no attempt to tackle him, he simply threw the elbow at Tomkins jaw, one mof the worst i have seen personally, up there with Cassidy on Morley. It was a deliberate calculated head attack in my opinion, no attempt at all to make a legal tackle.
He will get 3-4 games minimum.

Mate he came back into it very late in the fray once his head had cleared, as he was so ed off and righfully so. if you get hit on the jaw by a loose flying elbow. It was a deliberate head attack no attempt at a tackle at all.
Throwing an elbow at the jaw like that is about as bad as it gets the contact does not have to be significant to cause major damage and leave you concussed.

I will watch it again tonight , but I don't think that a rugby players instincts is to smack someone on the face intentionally with a forearm smash, there a few players that go leading in with the arm raised with the ball just as bad in my thoughts, there seems to be too much head high tackling of late |

On first view at full speed i was with you, but on the replays he clearly throws an elbow, not even lead with it, he thows an elbow right at Tomkins jaw. Was like a cheap shot in a boxing match. |

Probably a good idea...
One of the worst I've seen, easily up there with Cassidy on Morley or Dermott on Fittler, and only the result away from being as bad as Boyd on Brohman.
I'll be surprised if it's only a few games he misses. |
