You're right. I think it's great that he goes on his own sometimes.

Considering how good is he is with ball in hand, it hardly matters.

It makes a change for a Wigan half back to run at the line regulary then just catch and pass ...al al T Smith

I despair, I really do. We've got a young lad who is as big a talent as we've had in years with the potential to become a Wigan RL legend in time and we have people picking holes in his game at the age of 20.



Perhaps you think Christ could have fed 6,000 if he'd sliced the bread a bit thinner!

Sorry Paul but you definitely suffers from the very English malady -Tall Poppy Syndrome.

The thing I like about Tomkins is that he mixes it up, sometimes passes, sometimes takes the line on to keep the defence guessing.



I assume he took the OP girlfriend.

I don't know about that, I think Ryan Hall may win it, 22 I think he is, don't know if that's too old mind to get the award.

Theres no pleasing some people.

We have pages and pages of people complaining about Tim Smith not taking on the line, but when Sam does, he gets called greedy!

Ryan Hall has hardly took the season by storm has he? Might be top try scorer but most of them have been walk ins and its much harder to play 6 than wing so come off it!

it's not being greedy and tomkins is not alone,the problem is young players in pivotal positions try to do it all on their own sometimes,this does not help the team much but they are desperate to prove themselves to the more experienced players.

all young men are headstrong and can let the moment affect their better judgement but your lad has a good future in the game as he matures.

the classic example of this type of desperation, greedy play was eastmond for saints in their cc semi,if he'd have moved the ball out instead of going alone in the second half all the time then we would probably be playing saints at wembley.

don't be too hard on him,he would be a welcome addition to any super league side.

Its still going
