Has said we don't have the temperament to win big games as we lost in 2014. Don't think he realises we only have 5 players left from that team that day. Shenton, Webster, Lynch, Oli Holmes, and Massey. We now have a team that is used to winning, confident, ruthless and controlled. The super league is ours for the winning. Let's show the doubters what we can do.
Re: Sam Tomkins
Maybe we should take note. He is an expert on not having the temprement to suceed under pressure, having completely bottled his shot at the NRL.

Hes a somewhat sad figure now really
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

True, we lost the cup final at Wembley in 2014...just like Wigan did in 2017 !TT Tiger wrote:Has said we don't have the temperament to win big games as we lost in 2014.

Re: Sam Tomkins
Tbf his exact words were ' Cas have only played 1 knockout rugby game and they came up short' and we did . I dont like him or his brother (joel) but he is only stating fact. The last three big games we have played ( CC final v Leeds , Catalans away to win LLS and Hull CC semi ) we have lost .

We played wakey 2/3 weeks ago to win LLS and won so we can do it
Re: Sam Tomkins
Not really, he referred to knock out rugby and the Wakey game was hardly that with us so far ahead of Leedsfords wrote:Wrongtakethetwo wrote:Tbf his exact words were ' Cas have only played 1 knockout rugby game and they came up short' and we did .

The last 3 big games we have lost.
The last big game we won for the LLS
Sam might have said knockout but I'm referring to the post
Re: Sam Tomkins
This is what Brian Carey said in his 'Good week, bad week column,'
"Considering how important the game was for the Warriors and in front of a big crowd, it was as bad a performance as they've put in for a long time."
If I were a Wigan player I hope I'd be smart enough to avoid drawing attention to the subject of temperament after my team's performance yesterday.

And he is wrong as we played Saints in a knock out CC game in the first round and soundly thrashed them.alftupper wrote:Not really, he referred to knock out rugby and the Wakey game was hardly that with us so far ahead of Leedsfords wrote:Wrongtakethetwo wrote:Tbf his exact words were ' Cas have only played 1 knockout rugby game and they came up short' and we did .

Re: Sam Tomkins
Anyone else notice on the highlights that he sticks a leg out to try and stop Trueman on his hat trick try?

You mean the one where the ex England full back and NRL star playing at home in a must-win game got side-stepped by18 year old kid on his starting debut and couldn't lay a finger on him?TheSheriff wrote:Anyone else notice on the highlights that he sticks a leg out to try and stop Trueman on his hat trick try?
Re: Sam Tomkins
Beat me to it Sherriff!
Re: Sam Tomkins
We probably only won because of Wigan's "postage stamp" pitch!
