..to see Keiron Cunningham get a taste of his own medicine tonight?

For those who are wondering what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the sulk he had when Tomkins took his legs late in a tackle resulting in an injury and substitution.

One thing I will say about Cunningham is that he'll the biggest loss Saints could ever suffer when he goes, the difference when he is on the pitch and off it is immense and I include when Roby is in the team as well. Very much like Farrel was for us he's there leader and tallisman and will be a huge loss that will take a lot out of saints even with them having Roby and Moore as replacements, in my eyes he is irreplaceable.

I'm confused... Do you mean one of the fairest, but yet hardest players and most respected by his fellow pro's and coaches in the game, being taken out by a cheap shot.

Yes, I'm sure James Stosic has a lot of respect for him.

Spot on there.

While he was off the pitch they Saints team looked lost. Without Long and Cunningham guiding the team roung Pryce looked lost as did the rest of the team.

Its going to be a very interesting situation for Saints when they are both gone (as Long will have after this season) how they will cope without the players who have led them for so long now.

Matterson was 100% correct when he disagreed with Steveo that they are more effective without Long, Im sorry but as much as I hate Long he is a vital player for Saints, regardless of whether they have Eastmond, Wheeler or whoever.

Blind much?

Keiron Cunnigham is a absolute Legend and a fair one at that. He is just like Andy Farrell. Does the dirty work by hitting hard in every tackle!

He is a leader!

To say that you're glad a player getsinjured because of a cheap shot, is very low indeed.

Well his eyes dont look attached in his picture so maybe...

Care to elaborate?

Not to mention the attempt to take Prescott's head off in the first 5 mins!

How Eddie and Steveo tried to defend that was beyond believe. He swung aroung Prescotts head! Anyone who says that was round the shoulders needs their eyes testing!

To be honest it was a cheap shot on Stosic but that doesn't justify what Tomkins did, and I was surprised saints brought him back on and risked him with the semi just a week away, saying that I think you'll lose by the way. Come on you GIANTS.

You hate him because he is class! Our leader!

Just the way we did with pan face. Deep inside you know he is a fantastic player.

How was Tomkins tackle a cheap shot?

He was struggling to get the ball away so Tomkins came in, took his legs and chopped him down.

Had the whistle gone?

If not it was a proper sulk.

Well let's see; fairest, in the past few weeks he's punched the opposition in the face and tonight swung off the head of Prescott. As for the tackle tonight, Tomkins wasn't late as the ref hadn't called held. So if anything blame the referee. Do you understand now?

To be honest i can understand why he looked so annoyed, it could have been a late tackle, but it wasnt illegal in my eyes. The tackle wasnt complete and he was still moving and wrestling with wigan tacklers, sam had a right to come in and complete the tackle. kieron is a fantastic player, when he came back on i had a feeling saints would turn the game around some way or another. However, i feel he can get a bit over-excited at times and do things he doesnt need to. I dont think hes cocky or arrogant in any shape or form, just... passionate.

I never said anything about the class of player he is, and infact a tribute to him in that I was glad he went off, not because he was injured (Id never relish in a player being injured) but him not being able to have an input in the game improved our chances greatly. But even you have to admit that was a high shot on Prescott!

He jumped off the floor to hit him ! A certain high tackle

Just watched the reply. The ref calls held. Then Tomkins comes in with a late shot. That is cheap imo. Keiron was going nowhere.

No he doesn't. HTH.

I think sam may have done it to create mindgames, try and get to kieron. BUT- it was not illegal, the tackle hadnt been completed and sam had every right to complete it.

If the ref called helf then it should have been a pen.

A cheap shot though? I don't think so.

It is illegal if the ref calls held. Fortunately for Wigan. The ref was out of his depth tonight.

The panel did a halftime look at the incident. Eddie, Terry Materson and Stevo all called that the tackle eas completed.

That was nothing, bit of over-reaction from Wakey. And that is all you can come up with in the last 14 years. You only have to listen to matterson and the other guest coaches every week, to realise how highly he is rated.
For the original poster to say he got a taste of his own medicene is pathetic! He turned the game when he came back on. anyone who cannot admit he is one of the gretest players to ever play the game is seriousley deluded. KC is not a dirty player. DO YOU UNDERSTAND.

Sam today achieved the legend status of Terry Newton! Kfc wanted to mix it with high shots but yet he didn't want 2 know when Sam dished it out 2 him!

If u can't take it don't give it KFC! U are forever Sam Tomkins bitch. Shame he didn't break his leg!
