Most people are too jealous to acknowledge just how good he is. 2 of his three tries were World class and his other he supported extremely well for. I look forward to seeing the likes of Tomkins for you, Eastmond for Saints and Donaldson for us in SL for years to come, having players like Tomkins in the league can only improve it.

1 was a person without the ball one was a player with ball still in play so...whats the point again?

Oh trust me I was one of them. But that game just should have shown Noble that he was at least worth a Shot at the first team.

Sounds as though Sargent is better at fancy dress than he is at hitting people. With the size difference of the two, he should have knocked Sam for six with that shot.

Clearly, he isn't one for the kid to worry about in the future.

But the plain fact is you're all cacking yourselves about Sam Tomkins, and the vast majority of you are too unsophisticated to hide it.

As for Cunningham - bollox. He all but caved someone's face in a week or so earlier, and no-one gave a crap. Don't come crying Cunningham's case to us - it cuts no ice whatsoever.

I didn't try to defend him either. Are you defending Sargent? That shot was late, high and premeditated. It was also congratulated by the Cas on field runner, physio waterman or whatever you want to call him.

The games gone mad

The ball was in play so Tomkins tackled him around the legs. Not quite in the same league as an off the ball shoulder charge to somebodies face.

Cowardly act.

Dont you mean cunningham still had the ball in his possesion rather than the ball being in kicked down field. because when sargent hit tomkins the ball was still in play.

So basically you condone someone going to injury a fellow pro as long as he still has the ball.

Very Classy of you.

You must condone what david howell did to tomkins then cos he still had the ball when howell belted him.

And there are quite a few other great young players coming through as well.

Those 2 tries would of had stevo and Eddie creaming themselves had the aussies done that or Leon Pryce. They only did it a little bit for Tomkins so he must be ok

read it again (get help if you need) ball was still in play =not dead. Cunninghma was moving and Tomkins tackled him around the legs..is that illegal?

Now is hitting someone who doesnt have the ball with the shoulder legal?.....hhmmm maybe you need to sleep or learn the game

Cunningham was being tackled on the last, tackle WASNT completed, so he went in and finished him off, nowhere near the head, just unfortunate that it was on the knee area, didn't go to intentionally injur him whatsoever.

Sargeant went for Tomkins well after the ball had gone, off the ball, with his shoulder.

Stop pretending you're a reasonable man. You're another oafish gobsheizer of the sort we get on here all the time. You're an unimpressive phoney, and the more you bleat the more you sound like a sheep.

The kid was poleaxed in an off-the-ball incident. Fortunately for Sam, he's harder than Sargent, so it didn't matter, but it was still a nasty foul, almost comparable with Cunningham's face-smasher of a few weeks ago.

That's all that matters. Nothing else you say on this subject is of relevance.

Held hadn't been called so Tomkins completed the tackle to stop him offloading the ball!

End of chat.

Put you wigan blinkers away he went to injury him on purpose every 1 else knows this apart from you lot.

I suppose david howell had played for you and done what he did to tomkins if would have been fine.

Ah the same Howell who elbowed Tomkins in the face AFTER the whistle had gone..I do see the comparison
