My only issue with Brough is though does he like being a big fish in a small pond and could he adapt to playing in the cauldron that is Wigan, plus do we want a caveman playing for us.

Wow, it only took 3 months for Tomkins to go from promosing youngster to 10 times the player who singlehandedly dragged you into a decent playoff run.

Why do wigan fans ALWAYS make such daft claims about their youngsters? Every single under 20 year old who plays a game is instantly rated a future GB legend by the wigan fans

IMO he'd thrive on it now.

He made a fist of it at Hull but was only a kid then and seems to have matured since then.

He pulls the strings from 7 in the role a proper, organising 7 but can play that bit of off the cuff rugby aswell when needed. Alot of people will always think back to Moran and what happened when we signed him but we got Moran to try and play as an organising 7 when that wasn't his game........we wouldn;t have that problem with Brough because it's his natural game.

thats what he does himself, the boy would run himself up his own , im not saying hes a bad player far from it, he just needs to use his vision more

Just like when he had 3 overlaps last week against leeds and decided to take it himself, but i guess your the kinda guy who just sees what he wants to see

I thought Sam was the player most likely to score, or set up a score, for you in the 2nd half, with one of his breaks.

A few times I thought sooner or later he will get passed that last man and it will be game over.

Half backs are either creative players or support players. By that I mean Barrett created things for players whereas I think Sam looks to follow a forward and latch on to the pass and score

You need a reality check.

How is kicking and being involved in passing moves playing for himself?



Im sorry but I think your just picking at things for the sake of being negative.

not a cat in hells chance. brough is the ultimate example of big fish, small pond. he'd be a disaster at wigan. when he was a cas he was fantastic till westerman started getting all the plaudits and he ent into his shell (sulked). and after talking to a few wakey fans last week, they agreed that as soon as drew came on he was very withdrawn. with the amount of talent coming through at wigan and the attention they get, brough imo would not perform for us.

im far from being negative i have high hopes for the lad, but he needs to use his vision more, this isnt all about sam tomkins

leuluai was clueless today never a 7 int memory of man. Don't get me wrong he can be a good player and I'd rather him be in the team than not but we lack a quality 7 who can back tomkins up and create opportunitys. Tommy can't do that

Spot on the guys a 9 and we need a 7 who can share responsibilities with Tomkins.

Thought that was what this thread was about



I think your making out he only plays for himself because in games like tonight he took that option a few times.

In the last few games he has been far more involved in setting up moves for other players than when he first entered the team
