Do you want me to remind you when Mcguire did that yesterday? Is that what you mean?
If so, he didn't come up with that particular play in yesterdays game. But he's done it many, many times.
A good example this season would be lee smiths last gasp try against bradford, or a brett delaney try in the first half against catalans in france.
Mcguire had the ability to quickly asess what's in front of him and see when a kick is the better option. Not only that, but the execution is perfect.

| Thought McGuire and Tompkins had pretty similar games personally. The intercept apart Sam looked dangerous as did Danny. I like to see him taking the line on like he was. TBF it wasn't really great conditions for either to do something special though.

I don't think it was inexperience, the try was also on had he executed the pass a bit better. Had he thrown it a foot higher Wigan would be in the semi. And who knows, he might have executed the grubber just as badly had he taken that option.

If he'd thrown it a foot higher it would have likely flown into touch.
To get it over hall and back down into the wingers hands he'd have had to loop the ball over hall but that would take all pace off the pass and by the time it fell into the wingers hands leeds defence would have covered across. Even if the grubbers not executed well a drop out is still a possibility.

You didn't make any spelling mistakes but what you wrote wasn't English.

Good player but IMHO not a "Class" Player...going down the Leon Pryce road ATM.
Just cant see him as a Great Player currently a one trick pony in my view.

The Wigan coach threw a ball at a young Saints player. Disgusting he should be sacked

| I am surprised it's taken so long for defenders to suss Tomkins only real talent - step off the left switch to the right.
Of the young guns he is far less impressive than Myler and Eastmond.

far far less in my book..
He struts around like he thinks the world owes him something. Granted he has some pace and a good (if somewhat predictable) step. I know some old time props who would love a shot.
Watch him closely next time for the "kicking out" style at the tackle and the illegal antics in front of opposition goal kickers.

How many GF's has Pryce played in? Won quite a few as well. One of Superleagues greats in my book.
As for one trick pony, well John Monie once described Jonathan Davies as a guy who could only step off his right foot. Doug Laughton must have found that amusing.

Sam Tomkins has a lot to do before he can be realistically be compared to Davies whatever Phil Clarke and Eddie Hemmings may say. An awful lot.

| Quote ="Rogues Gallery"I'll ask again, what did the Leeds fan do?'" I had a great view and it was digusting behaviour by the Leeds fan and immaturity on Tomkins behalf.
As the Wigan players were heading for the tunnel they were getting plenty of good natured stick from the Leeds fans in that area. This mainly took the form of waves from the crowd, as in bye bye your out of the cup. Some fans were also giving verbals and one in particular was drawing a reaction with whatever he was saying(i was to far away to hear). A few Wigan players gave him a stare but Tomkins stopped and made to walk over towards him. At this point the Leeds fan spat at Tomkins. Tomkins then headed towards him but was restained by O'Loughlin who pulled him back and wrestled him away(something he had been perfecting for the previous 80 minutes).
Not a pretty sight and probably something done in the heat of the moment by both player and fan. O'Loughlin's actions were impressive. I didn't see him even make eye contact with the fan concerned, he just made sure his player was removed from the situation.

I was going to say something about never giving opposition players that kind of abuse - especialy after winning, but then I remember Wally Lewis playing for Wakefield at Headingley.

I think people , and I'm guilty of it myself, object to the hype rather than the player and it seems like the player gets more than his fair share of stick. No witch hunt I think here.

I know. My comments are more about the likes of Clarke and Hemmings anointing the lad than you to be honest.
