If he hadn't grounded the ball then surely that would have been a penalty try?

With Ganson about. Who knows.

It was definitely 'The Steve Ganson Show' again yesterday.

he may of been knocked out and ruled out the rest of the game! but he will certainly feel good about himself that he scored a try whilst unconcios! as if he needed his head to inflate anymore! fair play to him though! tried his best to come back on!

This fact alone indicates that he has 20 times the moral fibre of those wishing him ill.

I was wondering though, what did he do that upset the rugby gods?

He copied Lee Briers planking. They dont want him to turn out like him.

The Rugby Gods certainly smile on young Sam. Was it only two seasons ago he was neck and neck with young Kyle vying to be the hottest young player on the block?

Vyle Eastmond would have been injured for weeks if that had been him, biscuit bones.
Hope he enjoys being tackled 4 times a season out on the flanks

But, do you think anyone other than Ganson would have sent Raynor off?

No.

Maybe Child, but he's too temperamental to say for certain.

Sam Tomkins is one of, if not the, best up and coming young players in our league, and you have the indecency to laugh?
The sooner you grow up, and realise that a player getting injured isn't funny in any way, the better.
Absolute disgrace.

P.s - Well done Wigan on the win

Ignore tw0ts like the person you responded to. They're just ignoramuses who have no understanding of the game and are here purely to cause trouble.

He may be an unpleasant niggly little ....... But he is OUR unpleasant niggly little .... gawd bless him. Many top sportsmen are confident/arrogant when playing and Sam is. I don't know the guy off the pitch, and how he is there is his business... I just like to watch him on the park. Enjoy it while he is here folks, the career of a rugby player is short.

You certainly would like to think so.

dear me' we really are coming out with some rubbish today arent we!

Yes but most of them were supporting trys. Sam tends to score them on his own.

His try was a brilliant piece of skill aswel to step back inside of 2 players and then score when knocked out.

Awesome talent. Got a bit of niggle about him which I like. I bet he's a massive wimp though.

Possibly it takes one to recognise one.

Though before you spit out your lunchtime coffee, that's in your favour - because he isn't.

Ask Ablett - he still annoyed that his forearm smash didnt actually make Sam stay down, never mind go off injured.

Those of us who watch him week in and week out will tell you that he is no wimp, he is a tough little bugger who is targetted every game and just shrugs off the rough stuff. To be unconcious is a different matter though, but i'm sure he would have been willing to come back on if he could have.

Hand on heart, how many wimps do you know take to a Rugby League field, not many. Certainly not professionally, for which I have total respect for every one of them.

If you want to see wimps - see some continental footballers feign injury / dive...etc.

I thought that when I watched it back. It's a shame it got overlooked because of the Raynor incident because it was probably the best bit of rugby in the whole game

When Tomkins went off on Sunday you seemed to lose your way.
Restrict Sam and it seems Wigan are far less of a force.
