Arise Sam Tomkins

[TRICKY DICKY]

McIlorum banned for 1 game, Sam Tomkins, Come on down

It should happen but like many I have my doubts until I actually see it. Noble can play musical chairs to avoid doing so if he so chooses.

[MrDave]

Mcilorum didn't feature in the first game against Wakefield and Noble decided to go with moving LeuLuia to hooker when Riddell was off and putting O'Loughlin to stand off.

Noble is a forwards man so if he can get away with a bench full of forwards then he will.

Come on Sam
Become an Instant Legend
Become The Wigan Warrior
Become The Saviour





bit dramatic but if there is a tiny chance our lads can get there rightful place then i will get excited

Tomkins should be in the team but at the expense of Smith. It is unfortunate that McIlorium is banned, he had a good game on Friday and easily outshone Riddell.

The best thing that Noble can do is pick our local lads. We may not win but the supporters will really get behind the team and the experience will do them the world of good. We may as well write off our season and look to fast-track our bunch of juniors.

I like you SEFC

To be succesful, the youngsters have to be brought on. I can't understand why Noble did'nt play young sam in the same team as TB, even if TB had been re positioned at loose forward. This shows no fore thought by Noble whatsoever. For some reason, he has always created a team of more aged, bulked up players.

It's three games in. The eternal optimism of the Wigan supporter.

as mentioned above McIlorum didnt feature in the Wakefield game but it really didnt work switchin O'Loughlin to 6 so if Noble opens his eyes then this is a perfect opportunity for Sam to get some game time!!...... I wont hold my breath!!!

But then who plays #7 when Leuluai replaces Riddell?

I'd have Smith on the bench, start with ST and TL, Smith replaces TL when he goes to hooker.
