I heard a little rumour today from a die hard wigan fan that sam tomkins had a falling out at wigan, and that he was dropped because of this rather than him being injured...

Anyone heard similar?

Heard there is discord in camp due to the nutter element of McIlorum and Hock. ST went off during the Cats match with a sore knee, didn't he? Seems a bit far fetched that he'd fake injury 2 matches back...?

Don't know if he got injured v Catalan, it does seem a bit far fetched, just the rumour going round at work amongst wigan fans.

Well their season is over so they need something to talk about.

THIS, my friends, is how rumours begin!

Tomkins apparently got dropped for fighting with Finch. www.wiganwarriorsfans.com/wigan/ ... c&o=815820 The match previous Gaz Hock got dropped for fighting with Stuart Fielden. www.wiganwarriorsfans.com/wigan/ ... c&o=814754

Time for someone at the club to meet him in some dodgy pub and get him to stop playing until he gets his wish of playing in P&B.
Remember that Andy Greg?

If it is true, surely he wouldn't have been allowed to lurk next to Wane all game in his own clothes rather than sitting with the rest of the team in training gear which is what normally happens when a player isn't selected. I imagine Tomkins could sleep with the wives of every club board member and still get selected to be honest!

I wonder if it will destabilise Wigan as much as the Richie Myler situation at the start of the season rocked our club

To be fair, I can't remember a week going by at any club where at least a couple of players haven't had a flare up in training ....... for a player to get dropped for a SF (or as is being hinted with Fielden, let go) it would have to be a serious ding dong .... and something tells me bookies would have Finch as favourite in that one!

Probable (simple) answer - Tomkins was genuinely injured.

Must admit the sight of Murphy wearing ST's training top was funny - surely he's got his own?

Sam was injured.

End of debate. Worst rumours ever these going around at the moment, especially the "Gareth Hock wont play for Wigan again" one's prior to the Leeds game...............which he played in.

also, how can someone have a fight with Fielden?... you punch him, he blacks out.... fight over.

Why didn't he play in the Catalans game?

Do you think that Sam Tomkins was in the squad but not playing because of injury .............or because of fighting with Brett Finch ?

Maybe an eliminator to fight Big Willy Mason .

Serious question for the Wiganers - why do you always refer to your players by their first names? It's all "Sam", "Tommy", "Josh" "Laughable Matty". Why not Tomkins, Leulai, Charnley and Smith?

They are all family, that's why - Its the inbreeding.....

Don't we refer to Westwood and Carvell as 'Benny' and 'Gaz'?

Don't forget 'Eric' Lauaki and Daryl Meninga.

Shame on you. You've forgotten the delightful "MickeyMac" (as in Mickey Mouse).

I don't or at least, I try not to. I certainly would never refer to Carvell as Gaz - never met the bloke and it's a bit too familiar for me. All this "Sam", "Josh" and "Laughable Matty" stuff is cringeworthy for me.

Slight tangent, but a few years I go I saw Chris Boardman at a sporting event in Manchester. Had my picture taken with him and referred to him as Mr Boardman. Said he hadn't been called Mr Boardman since school. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have asked him for discount on one of his bikes.

Easier to spell!

Talking of Wigan, check out the 'BILKO' thread over on their forum. Quite a few of our Wigan chums are considering throwing themselves off that fire station near the DW following their latest semi-final defeat.

Time to get out the "prozac pies"
