He's astonishingly resilient, can't think of many players in the league who have to put up with what he does - it's no shock he's started trying to make sure the opposition are penalised for it, if a bit too... obvious for me in the way he does it.
If the marker is now set for how to shut him down, Wigan will have to consider whether he is worth it on the kick return, he can play a deep role in attack at 6 if that's all we're after due to O'Loughlin. I suppose this will all depend on our other options at FB. |

I have a laugh at many of the posters on various clubs message boards saying Sam Tomkins, strangle him , kill him etc.
Having had the privilege of watching Sam come through the academy teams from him being 16 years of age I can tell you that the opposition have been trying to do it for years (and failing) and he has an attitude very similar to Shaun Edwards. He's a tough little b*gg*r and when I was trying to explain to our Saints supporting friends the difference between Sam and Eastmond they wouldn't have it.
They are now beginning to agree (through gritted teeth)

I'm looking forwards to seeing how Finch goes, a couple of years ago when he was on the outer at Parramatta I fancied us making a move for him as a partner to Briers. From his NRL pedigree you would have to put him in the same calibre as Adrian Lam. You never know how these players will translate to SL of course, but I'm surprised more hype hasn't been made of this signing, I bet if Wigan had finished 2nd or 3rd last year this would have been hailed in the press as the 'final piece in the jigsaw'

Sams little tough side is what makes him such a great player, and long may it continue. |

A sensible post from a sensible Wire fan. Cheers |

Some people on here are hopeless at judging players.
Liability? We rely on Deacon more then ever atm..... |

Nope.
They were pretty good with their kick-chases, I thought - most times he had a solid wall ahead of him, yet still made good yards. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

How can we miss someone who hasn't even played yet? Would I like him to play and have the luxury of his kicking game... yes!
