Re: Why have Wigan Re-signed Joel Tomkins : Sun May 21, 2017 10:49 am
I think the thing with Joel is when (and if) we ever get close to a fully fit team he would be used as an impact player off the bench against tiring defenses. Last night he was alternatively playing second row, stand-off and even hooker plus was on the pitch for a lot longer than he would otherwise, yes he made some mistakes - he was far from the only one.What last night showed clearly
Williams needs an organising scrum half along side him - he was poor last night due to trying to do everything - if anyone doubts what Tommy L brings to the team last night showed it in William's performance,
We missed props FPN was ineffective, Sutton up and down, TT was our best by a country mile.
Lockers is still the best LF in SL (tried too hard but still made most of our tries).
McIlorum needs to concentrate on playing rather than trying to be the defensive enforcer - he could have been done for at least 2 shoulder charges and tended to fly out of the line way too much - we missed Powell.
Marshall is a natural winger,.
