There have been players who have played for us in the past, who have left with reputation slightly in excess of what they achieved on the field. Tommy has certainly never been one to have been overestimated, but now I think we are starting to appreciate more what he adds to the team.'"
Amen to that.... |

Yes I agree with that too. I have gone from feeling that Wigan couldn't be beat to not being anywhere near as confident now that he isn't playing. |

Agree fully, but have been a big fan of his for years. Always felt he was harshly judged in the early days - he was barely out of his teens & playing with a world-class player in Trent Barrett, but used to get a knocking from some on here. He's got better & better, and apart from his sometimes average kicking game, he's been world-class himself for the last few seasons. Back in the bad old days of 2006-8 he was one of a very small number who used to put 100% in every game too...
He'll be a massive loss & I just hope that we get to see him playing again this year, and get to give him a decent send-off - preferably after a winning GF.

How'd you do that ![]()
He won't be playing with a broken leg will he smart . If a player comes back from a broken arm......they strap it. If they come back from a broken ankle..........they strap it.
He won't be running round on crutches with one of them ice boots on will he.

I think we're appreciating how light we are in the halves.
Leuluai is quality, but there's no-one with any experience behind him. We've really felt that the last few games. |

Spot on mate . 
Been having this discussion with Captain 13 for ever . I think it has only been since Wee Tam's injury that i am finally getting the message through .
Going to take 2 to replace his attacking skills and more so his defensive orginisation and big hits .
Regards , EW |

I think i was talking to you about Tam about 4 or 5 years ago at The Stoop, you were a huge fan of his then, and singing his praises when he was still getting a little flak from people.

For every other team in Super League the scrum-half offers a target in the defensive line at which the opposition aims it attack. Leluai however hit as hard as any defender in the league - Matty Smith doesn't and that next year will be the biggest difference to Wigan. That isn't much to choose between the two players in attack.

I would say that Tommy has slightly more spark in attack as well which is what I think we missed against Bradford. |
