He was 19 with Trent in the team...not too young

Sheer class he is!

Other fans say we overate him, tonight proves we don't.

He was fantastic in every aspect of the game. One of the best half-back performances I have seen all year.

If he does not get young player of the year it will be worse than when Trent didn't get it.

Put a match winning hit in aswel on Westerman on our line when the scores were close.

All round fantastic game again Sam. (Said that a few times this year)

They'll give it to Roby after an investigation into errors at the department of births marriages and deaths show up the fact that he is actually only 4 years old.

I think its got to be nailed on Sam getting it now

If Trent was still here, there's no way Noble would have played Tomkins. His hand was forced playing him even with Tim Smith here.

What a talent this kid is. Sublime tonight.

If Wire are willing to offer £200,000 or something like that for Myler then Tomkins must be worth about £500,000 if anybody wanted to offer. Atm he would walk into any SL side and should be playing stand-off for england in the 4 nations.

Tomkins is the sort of talent we've been looking for ever since Kris Radlinski retired. He's just sublime every time he catches the ball. I cannot wait to see how his career (at Wigan!) pans out - you see so much "Shaun Edwards" in him.

That sort of individual preformence has been coming from Sam for a good few weeks. He's been immense for us and is always a threat but the amount of times he just gets pulled down on the halfbreak is huge but tonight they couldn't touch him.

It was an outstanding preformence from a potential world class player.

As for all the sniping he gets from opposition fans..............keep it coming.

I am glad you are show how good a player he is in your posts, most other fans say they hate him or cover his quality with jealousy.

. The fact is Noble has been forced to play Sam and would not have done had he not had to. If Tim Smith would have been back for the playoffs Sam would be dropped either to the bench or the reserves.

Many said good things about him before that game.

I think you have a cheek yeah sargent hit him late but to call him a thug is a bit strong

I didnt see you on here blasting tomkins and calling him a thug when he went and tried to seriously injury cunninghams knees when you play saints. pot calling kettle black i think

Most people are too jealous to acknowledge just how good he is. 2 of his three tries were World class and his other he supported extremely well for. I look forward to seeing the likes of Tomkins for you, Eastmond for Saints and Donaldson for us in SL for years to come, having players like Tomkins in the league can only improve it.

1 was a person without the ball one was a player with ball still in play so...whats the point again?

Oh trust me I was one of them. But that game just should have shown Noble that he was at least worth a Shot at the first team.

Sounds as though Sargent is better at fancy dress than he is at hitting people. With the size difference of the two, he should have knocked Sam for six with that shot.

Clearly, he isn't one for the kid to worry about in the future.

But the plain fact is you're all cacking yourselves about Sam Tomkins, and the vast majority of you are too unsophisticated to hide it.

As for Cunningham - bollox. He all but caved someone's face in a week or so earlier, and no-one gave a crap. Don't come crying Cunningham's case to us - it cuts no ice whatsoever.

I didn't try to defend him either. Are you defending Sargent? That shot was late, high and premeditated. It was also congratulated by the Cas on field runner, physio waterman or whatever you want to call him.

The games gone mad



The ball was in play so Tomkins tackled him around the legs. Not quite in the same league as an off the ball shoulder charge to somebodies face.

Cowardly act.

Dont you mean cunningham still had the ball in his possesion rather than the ball being in kicked down field. because when sargent hit tomkins the ball was still in play.

So basically you condone someone going to injury a fellow pro as long as he still has the ball.

Very Classy of you.

You must condone what david howell did to tomkins then cos he still had the ball when howell belted him.

And there are quite a few other great young players coming through as well.

Those 2 tries would of had stevo and Eddie creaming themselves had the aussies done that or Leon Pryce. They only did it a little bit for Tomkins so he must be ok

The player was held and he went on purpose to take out his knees. but because he is wigans new young superstar thinks he is untouchable.

read it again (get help if you need) ball was still in play =not dead. Cunninghma was moving and Tomkins tackled him around the legs..is that illegal?

Now is hitting someone who doesnt have the ball with the shoulder legal?.....hhmmm maybe you need to sleep or learn the game
