Thought Sam had a down year, by his standards, in 2012.

He's having his best year to date in 2013.

We're really going to miss him when he goes. Irreplaceable.

Are you serious? Alibert gets worse every time I see him! Not that it would have made any difference to the score line but he let some of your mob get away with murder today!

No point giving you penalties when you can't find touch anyway!

Scorelines like today really make me wonder what teams at the bottom of the league do in training.

Saved us from further embarrassment !

We wonder this every time we watch this shower. Embarrassing.

Not sure, he was out there warming up with the rest, didn't notice him struggling with any injury.

I thought young Mr Williams had a superb debut. I could not believe he was making his SL debut. Thought there was a bit of Andy Greg about him? Too early to say for sure but time will tell. Very impressed.

By half time, I felt sorry for the Broncos.

I didn't, but I couldn't help wondering how they managed to beat Saints, even though Sts were understrength.

Strained leg in training, didnt risk him while weve got leeds next week.

Scored some superb tries yesterday but you have to say the opposition was poor.

As usual it was a great day out all round

Yes will really miss The Stoop when they move , it is a great day / weekend every season, good band in The Kings Bar !

Eleven of the starting thirteen came through the academy, fourteen of the seventeen also.
Only Richards, Lauaki and Flower were non academy players.

Bet Doris Hemmings will hate that, and would be loathed to mention it.... lol

Watched the 2 mins highlights on Wigan TV. Sam's length of the field try was worth the £35 cost alone. Fantastic effort even if the opposition was poor.

Makes the rumours about IL offering him round the NRL for next season even more bizarre. You'd want this player gone sooner than necessary because....?

The 15 minute highlights are up now, fyi.

You should have seen Hampshires tries in the U19's.
It's just a pity about the one he had disallowed for a double movement, that would have been just as good as Sam's.

Against london?

I have seen some of Hampshire also courtesy of Wigan TV and was quite surprised he wasn't the junior halfback to get the nod v London. Mind you Willams try in the London game was great to watch as well. Showed quite a bit of speed off the mark after selling the dummy.

Just watched them. Give you a better idea of the build up to some of the tries (obviously). Flower made some good runs and Charnley was just too strong for them to keep hold of if those few minutes are indicative of the rest of the game.

Yes.

Think the reason Williams is currently getting the nod is that he is physically bigger/stronger than Hampshire who needs a bit more work on him from Bitcon.

Most tries in a season record for Wigan is 62 (in 37 matches) by Johnny Ring in 1925-26.

If Sam kept up his current scoring rate and played as many games as Ring did that season, he'd score 72! Perspective!

Martin Offiah got 53 tries in the 1994-1995 at a rate of 1.39 tries per match. Sam is on 1.93.
