They won't be doing that when Hock is back.

I promise you that.

Can't wait

Sam gets hit high every week... yet him trying to win a penalty every now and again is like thee worst offence in the sport.

Like someone has said, since Abletts hit - Id rather see Sam annoy players by winning penalties etc after the referee offfering no help or protection then.. and ever since.


It was the Sam show yesterday though.

Spot on.

He laughs off every dig and high shot he gets.But gets his own back in his own way..and i love everytime he does it because you can feel the anger from fans and players.

Man of steel 2011? On yesterdays showing he's definitely got to be a strong contender. And with the amount of stick he takes he'd be a much more worthy winner than some past holders of the trophy. Man of steel should mean exactly what it says on the tin. Tomkins is as tough as tique and would be a worthy winner

Fair play for your honesty.

Currently joint top for Man of Steel with Rangi Chase. 6/1

This may be a scary thing for superleague tbh but i'd say the lad hasn't hit top gear yet. I thought Yesterday was as well as he's played this season but he's got plenty left in the tank.

Roby must be favourite at the moment with Rangi Chase a close 2nd but if anybody can get infront of those 2 it will be Sam.

Two players I'd love to see in a Wigan shirt, unlikely as it is.

Rangi Chase is pure class would be amazing to have him at Wigan.

Neither is ever gonna happen sadly but I'd happily pay 1.5 times my current season ticket price to raise the money for Wigan to do it.

Roby never would but theres no reason why we couldn't sign Chase. Infact he's exactly the type of player I expect to move on to a club like Wigan, Wire, Saints or Leeds given time.

Cas are doing a great job this season but if one of those clubs came calling for Chase and were willing to pay a fee they may be tempted and if not teams will just wait to his deals up(whenever that may be).

I can't see Cas being able to keep him for a great length of time sadly.

I was actually saying to my dad just before the Saints game on Friday that we should be offering big money for Chase. Whether or not its viable I don't know, but I'd like to think that he's the level of player we could be after and could possibly have room for under the cap next year, no idea what his contract status is mind. Although like you say it'd be a shame for Cas, as I think he's integral to their team.

Hopefully Cas will get their new stadium sorted and that should help their cause when it comes to keeping their best players but even then a move to one of the games big 4 or 5 teams may be hard to turn down.

You only need to look at guys like Shenton and Westerman to see how difficult it is for them and going further back to the days when they lost guys like Orr and Godwin. They're a fantastic club and some of the stuff they've played this year has been exceptional but certain things out of their control limit them as a club.

Chase and Sam at 6 and 7.. not bad.
