Sam definately wanted to play on. If Sykes hadn't kept hold he would have been away after the hit, it was as though he didn't feel it. Couldn't believe what Thaler said when I watched it back. He is one tough hombre as Stevo would say, but I fear one day he will get hurt bad.

So was sykes sited for the 'high' tackle or laying on?

Why on earth has this tackle got it's own topic? Sykes went in for the tackle, hit the chest, went high. Penalty end of. Sam Tomkins is allowed to get tackled. After seeing a few tries where has has just run round the entire team this season, Sykes obviously decided to try nail him fairly but ended up going high. End of. Penalty sufficient.

O'loughlin went high about 3 or 4 times in that match and went unpunsihed, there isn't an article on it.



Sorry you had that experience but please don't tar us all with the same brush. Every team has idiots. I remember when you came to Wigan and a group of 20 came in twhere all the Bradford fans were to cause trouble. Doesn't mean your all like that.

I said the same last night. I remember when Wigan Vs Bradford was a massive game, and they used to fill that away end! Same with Leeds, but the past couple of seasons both teams have barely brought any fans.

If anything that tackle sparked the Warriors into life. They were incensed, which resulted in the absolute hammering they then proceeded to hand out to the Bulls.

And quite right too. Leave the bent judiciary to their own weird devices.

Let justice be done the old-fashioned way.

Aye. It looked to me like we were just happy to do enough to win before that tackle.

It was pretty clear after it though that we were determined to give the Bulls a kicking. I think Sam was instrumental for half the tries scored after that incident. Pretty amusing from where I was sat.

Not unrelated to this, there was a funny incident over on TotalRL, when some complete tw)t opened his live match commentary half an hour into the game with: "Is Sam Tomkins playing tonight?"

I love it when a smart gets smacked. Especially in public.

You know i've been given free tickets to go and watch Leeds at the shed and im more than sure Wigin also give away free tickets!



No they gave away free tickets to school kids (you know the future of the game) but they could only be used if the acompanied by a paying adult! A good financial policy if you ask me becouse those kids also bought team shirts and merchandise! Something im sure again Wigin have done
