Right on queue; the squabbling

Waney will decide what's best.
That's good enough for me

Sam hasn't looked fully fit for a while now - he's looking to avoid taking the ball up and he wasnt doing that earlier in the season - i actually think he has improved as a full back with his defensive work this season.

People need to accept that there wasnt enough in the tank this year for 2 final appearances. Our squad obviously needs strengthening in places to replace those leaving but some of the stuff being posted is simply nonsense. I'm not bickering by the way, just some opinions (and I am aware everyone is entitled to their own) really annoy me. Sam is dream team fullback this year, top tryscorer, writers player of the year and on the shortlist for MOS. Changing Sam's position is not what we should be looking at.

Quote Warrior Craig ! He clearly wasnt fit and hasnt been for a few weeks now.
Then Wy the fk did you play him? excuse for being wupped ifu ask me.

Sam is the best full-back in superleague and the world. Simple.

Sam isnt a fullback - possibly, replace him with Pat - no chance!

Richards needs to stay on the wing!

Sam clearly has been playing hurt, and i think its obvious that all the hype and attention he has been getting, especially since Wembley has affected him. He will be a better player long term for it. Hopefully that is at Wigan!

Last few games (Saints, Cats and Saints again) I've seen him holding his shoulder, arm and doing a fair bit of limping at various stages of a game. It may just be wear an tear of a long season.

Don't know why everyone is so stupid. Sam should be playing at prop

Doesn't look fit to me at present.

As a Saints fan even i can admit Sam is a cracking fullback,he is so dangerous joining the line and offers more in attack from fullback than he would from halfback,its obvious to anyone that has been watching that he isnt 100% but at this time of the season not many players are.The try he scored tonight was class,a great kick and he showed nice awareness and pace to touch down.

The fact is even if he is only 80% fit he offers that x factor that few in the league have.

It's not a knee jerk reaction and it is not absolute rubbish. I have been saying he should be playing 6 just about ever since he was switched to full back and giving my reasons.



And what if we can't find a SL standard 6 or hooker? There don't appear to be any available. Deacon can't do another season and when he doesn't play we do daft things like play Lockers at 6 or have Micky Mac doing the full 80 so TL can play 6.

Currently Sam is the only realistic choice to take over the 6 role. Never mind he would probably be sensational back in that position. We have no pace in the halves and he has it in spades and he would frighten e life out of defenses from there whereas at full back the top sides have him pretty much covered.


Sam Tomkins will be Wigan and England fullback for the forseeable.

Richards doesnt have the hands or creative thinking to be a fullback in our system.'"

28.30 he should have scored but if's and buts now we got beat by the better side i dont think Sam should be put back to 6 he's playing near a halfback roll atm

as a Saints fan ST is the real thing - I love watching him play

he is a fine FB and should remain there IMO not only for you lot but England also
