Amen brother Mathers, Coley, Phelps or Bailey shouldnt touch a wigan shirt until they prove their worth!!!!!

Or Riddell for that matter!

Agreed with the others but i thought Bailey had his best game in a Wigan shirt for quite some time tonight.

It was no coincidence that our right side defence was alot better tonight then last week(although still not perfect).

Good post ,and good coaching and common senses from Sam Tomkins .

Riddell played well. Replay the game and watch it. I've got back and watched it again.

Sam Tomkin's defence was superb.

Did anyone else notice that in attack, he was on the shoulder of the player carrying the ball ala Edwards?

When Carmont was heading for the try line, Tomkins instictively moved from the busy inside to the space outside in case Carmont was caught.

The young guy's a natural.

Yes, I'm surprised Noble didn't take him straight off! I mean, support play? Running on the shoulder of the ball carrier? Picking the right space to run in? Shocking!

Wasn't it great to see

Doubt in the defenders minds, space created

Wonder if Noble told him we'll have less of that next week

Having that as my sig

Sam was a star again yesterday he is the best half back we have had since Edwards
Recorded the match so going to go down and watch it before lunch from what i saw at the stoop it was a great game but god that beer gives me a bad head

I think that's jumping the gun a bit to be honest after a 50 minutes of super league, 80 of challenge cup and a few reserves and friendlies

I think we would all like to believe that but things like that should only be said a few years down the line

Well i don't have you not watched him in the Reserves and academy this lad is an instinctive Half back

It's obvious the lad is a cracking talent but saying he's the best since Edwards this early on is ludicrous and just adds to the already large amount of pressure on his shoulders

Some of the expectations that are put on Sam already almost make me feel sorry for him

He loves the club and already know the pressure of playing in the halves for Wigan he has grown up knowing that and as you saw yesterday and the 28th December and the Challenge cup game he loves playing for the club and thrives on the pressure just as Edwards did

I agree with that but saying hes the best since Edwards is a pretty big statement and just adds to the expectation already placed on him

I think we can both agree that we would like to see him end up as successful as Edwards though
