He probably thinks he needs to play more than one full season before he tests himself in the NRL, and will probably be at his peak as a player when his current contract ends.

I can't imagine Tony Smith thinking he needed to go back to Aus after a single full year as a coach.

Sam is playing for his hometown club, there is an immense amount of pride he has in that, you can see it clearly. And hes still only what 21? Young enough to go to the NRL after his contract here is up. Players are known for coming into their prime round about age 25-26, thats when Sam's contract is up (ish) so he has the chance to go over then.

Would that be Milton Keynes, Warrington or Chorley?

Smith probably has about another 20 years of coaching at the top level in which to try his hand in the NRL?

And just for the record it was a Wigan fan who suggested not going to the NRL when a chance arose showed a lack of ambition.

Still back on topic - how big a win against Cas do Wigan need to get back into the top two?

You dont think Sam Tomkins will ever want to play in the NRL?

I do.

sam tomkins? you lot can't have your cake, sorry pie and eat it! lack of ambition is not measured by geography alone otherwise why did maguire come here in the first place? must have lacked ambition to come to lowly wigan (see what i did there?) in the first place taking a step down from NRL where he couldn't make it as a first team coach!

what excuse are you guys going to give once the game in hand has gone and you still trail the 2 best sides in the league?

Hmmmmmmmm.

It was more a stating the bleeding obvious to our mods.

That would depend on the following results -

Cas v Wigan
Wakey v Hudds
Bradford v Saints
Wire v Salford

Saints v Wigan
Hudds v Catalans
Hull KR v Wire

Wire v Saints
Wigan v Hudds

Saints v Hull FC
Wigan v Leeds
Hudds v Crusaders

And, ultimately, the game in hand.

not one real warrington fan would ever say that. end of.

leeds away, 100+ points against any team is a good thing and so is 3 games conceding 0 points conceding 0 points in super league is a big ask and weve only conceded 6 against u and leeds it not like we dont do well against other big teams seeing as we beat u at athletic stadium, beat saints at widnes and turned leeds over home and away putting a total of 90 points on them

Oh, Ok. You're fecking awesome, everyone else might aswell just give up now

I assume you're not one either seeing as your most active forum is the Crusaders?
