Like someone mentioned earlier though, Rob Burrow has been targeted by opposition since he first came into the first team and will continue to do so until he retires. Tomkins will face the same, its part and parcel of RL that the game changers will be targeted by the other side, they have been before Tomkins first played and they will be long after Tomkins finishes playing.

Pointless statement. I haven't seen any particulary dirty shots on Tomkins this year. I saw the Sa one, it was reckless but i think he hit the chest first. Should have been a 1 game ban for a reckless tackle though as it could have connected with his head. But thats the only one really.

Pointless statement. Have you watched all of Wigan's games this season? If not then you aren't really in a position to comment are you?

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

But you’ve got to keep believing.

Are Wigan players as paranoid as their coach and fans?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

I like that Wane has spoken out but the delivery of that comment puts him on the same level as Nathan Brown 2010.

Sam does get some bad treatment but most teams can't lay a finger on him. Most teams have come to accept that he is just the best player in super league, even in a poor game he can do something special, teams are too busy trying to defend against him to rough him up.

Coming from a full back position Tomkins will always be targeted like any other player in that position who is an attacking threat.


The Rugby Gods are waiting for the peferct moment to strike back ;)

Sam is special and I wish he stayed with his boyhood team and I wouldn't want him damaged, however the odd biff to clip him in full flight is rugby, and avoiding biffs is why he plays the bloody game ! Asking the RL officials to protect him was daft, I bet Sam is spitting chips !

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Re: "Refs not protecting Sam" - Wane : Thu Jun 21, 2012 5:49 pm  
I think Mr Wane is suffering from double standards or a short memory span. Was he not on the coaching staff last year when the club endorsed the wigan players targeting the unprotected knee joint of the opposition in the held up tackle.

:SLEEPY:

Yeah, Wigan set out to injure all of SL because we can't play without grub tactics...

Bitter and deluded.
