Wigan Warriors winger Liam Marshall is relishing the opportunity to line up against ‘absolute superstar’ Sam Tomkins in Saturday’s Grand Final, the player he looked up to during his teenage years.
Marshall himself made his 150th Wigan appearance as he crossed for a hat-trick of tries in their 42-12 semi-final win against Hull KR, debuting back in 2017 for his hometown club.
That year, and the next, he lined up in the same 13 as another academy product in Tomkins. A little over seven years separates the pair in terms of age, and by the time Marshall made his breakthrough, Milton-Keynes born Tomkins had already won two Grand Finals and a brace of Challenge Cups.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
