Just wondered if you, like me, thought that a bit more effort may be a better way of indicating to the ref that Tompkins IS clamping. Rather than feeble jerks followed by angry protestations.

Is Roberts fully fit though?

Most matches I have seen Wigan have found it easier to grind out the win than to blast teams from the off. We seem to lose focus when we do that, for example against Leeds, Bradford, Harlequins.....


Here's hoping for a good match too though

Think it'll be tough for you too get a lead in the first 20mins, thats when we seem to be at our strongest. Often find ours with big leads (12-0, 18-0)

This is thanks to our starting front row: Fielden, Pig and Coley.

It all falls apart when there off the pitch though

TBH if a player has an arm trapped and then pulls it free and the ball pops out 99/100 times its going to be a penalty for ball stripping and Tomkins knows this.
Infact I would imagine the little scrote is waiting for the arm to get pulled free so his grip can 'slip' just at the right moment.
