To be honest it was a cheap shot on Stosic but that doesn't justify what Tomkins did, and I was surprised saints brought him back on and risked him with the semi just a week away, saying that I think you'll lose by the way. Come on you GIANTS.

You hate him because he is class! Our leader!

Just the way we did with pan face. Deep inside you know he is a fantastic player.

How was Tomkins tackle a cheap shot?

He was struggling to get the ball away so Tomkins came in, took his legs and chopped him down.

Had the whistle gone?

If not it was a proper sulk.

Well let's see; fairest, in the past few weeks he's punched the opposition in the face and tonight swung off the head of Prescott. As for the tackle tonight, Tomkins wasn't late as the ref hadn't called held. So if anything blame the referee. Do you understand now?

To be honest i can understand why he looked so annoyed, it could have been a late tackle, but it wasnt illegal in my eyes. The tackle wasnt complete and he was still moving and wrestling with wigan tacklers, sam had a right to come in and complete the tackle. kieron is a fantastic player, when he came back on i had a feeling saints would turn the game around some way or another. However, i feel he can get a bit over-excited at times and do things he doesnt need to. I dont think hes cocky or arrogant in any shape or form, just... passionate.

I never said anything about the class of player he is, and infact a tribute to him in that I was glad he went off, not because he was injured (Id never relish in a player being injured) but him not being able to have an input in the game improved our chances greatly. But even you have to admit that was a high shot on Prescott!

He jumped off the floor to hit him ! A certain high tackle

Just watched the reply. The ref calls held. Then Tomkins comes in with a late shot. That is cheap imo. Keiron was going nowhere.

No he doesn't. HTH.

I think sam may have done it to create mindgames, try and get to kieron. BUT- it was not illegal, the tackle hadnt been completed and sam had every right to complete it.

If the ref called helf then it should have been a pen.

A cheap shot though? I don't think so.

It is illegal if the ref calls held. Fortunately for Wigan. The ref was out of his depth tonight.

The panel did a halftime look at the incident. Eddie, Terry Materson and Stevo all called that the tackle eas completed.
