Oh what a shame on poor little Sam

It's all part of the game.

totally agree with you

Not really fair to compare Myler and Tomkins. Myler is an out and out 7, the team trust him and play to him letting him control the game from 1st receiver.

At Wigan with Tomkins it's a different matter. When he's on the field he plays as a true old fashioned stand off acting as a second receiver off Tommy or Tim who plays as a 7 in the first receiver spot. Tommy isn't a 7, he doesn't know how to play the position he doesn't know how to use his stand off (Sam) and how to create and organise, hence Sam has no one to play off.

When Sam plays with Tim we see a different Tomkins, Smith, does his best to control the team and throws the ball around from 1st receiver allowing Sam to run off the back of Tim as a running second receiver, just as McGuire does off the back of Burrow for Leeds.

For one reason or another neither Tommy or Tim are good enough to steer the team around the park, this combined with Sam's inexperience of playing 1st grade and playing behind a beaten pack is throwing disadvantage after disadvantage at Sam.

I've mentioned a few times about moving Sam to FB. I have on the signings thread explained my reasons for the move and will do it again if people want to hear my reasons.

Quite clearly you're the stupid one, as every time Lee Briers has a bad game there's plenty of fans who come out and want rid. There are also plenty of fans who don't want him to get a new contract next year, but you just believe what you want, squire.

Its A mens game, If you cant stand the heat, get out of the Kitchen

Briers was kn*b head when he was at Saints and always will be.

Finally, someone with a great point

People are 'mothering' Sam Tompkins, scared if he gets hurt! Or roughened up! It's Rugby, he's got to deal with the toughness if he's going to be a star in the future.

says the warrington fan on the wigan board
