4486_1428087820.png Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew
Between the wars:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4486.png |

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

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 ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| His technique in defence makes Smith honnestly look like a schoolboy.
Great debut from Shuan Tomkins ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| It's hard not to get over excited with Sam Tomkins because he looks to have everything including the most important thing which is imo a good attitude.
If he is given the chance to make a starting spot his own i think he'll prove his worth very quickly and in 12 months we'll be talking about a genuine star player.
Nobby made a right call for a change yesterday when it comes to a youngster in keeping him on the pitch ahead of Tim Smith. His hand was forced into playing Ainscough last week and into picking Sam yesterday but he didn't have to keep him on the pitch(although he'd have been crazy not to).
A couple of injuries and that decision may well have kept Noble in a job! now to turn it into a Fergie style moment(when Mark Robbins saved his job with a last minute winner in the fa cup 20+years ago) and go on to dominate ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

41943_1280660400.jpg Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?
"unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened

Tomkins and Ainscough were great and I thought famos amos looked a lot sharper too.
Can anyone help me out on what "thrutch" means?

| Just found this by googling "thrutch"
"One of the best all-purpose Lanky words. A personal favourite of mine...
It means to strain excessively on the lavatory. As in "I were thrutchin' fer ages but nowt happened."
Or, as in "Give it a bit of a thrutch." A push, a knock, a bang..."

36121_1270460193.jpg Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

In the context it was used, give ball to forward, forward puts head down takes ball up with aimless force. The thrutch should be the application of the force, push etc. Repeat until tackle six then kick.
