Sam Tomkins

I'm sorry to see Sam Tomkins leave Wigan Warriors for New Zealand Warriors at the end of this 2013 season but it's not the end of our Wigan club. 

When we have lost big players in the past like Shaun Edwards, Andy Gregory, Ellery Hanley, Kris Radlinski, Billy Boston, Jim Sullivan, Martin Offiah, Andy Farrell, etc, etc, the list is literally endless, Wigan haven't imploded, we have still carried on being a successful team.

One man doesn't make a team, it's a team game. Wigan don't play with 12 players when he's not playing, we can still field 13. I feel he goes missing in big games and his defence under the high ball is shocking. To me he's not a fullback. Don't get me wrong he's a fantastic player on his day and he can turn a game but it's often against the weaker teams.

I hope that he goes to the NRL and prove himself against the best rugby league players in the world because let's face it the Super League is just becoming a feeder competition to the NRL. Good luck Sam and all the best on your future at the New Zealand Warriors.

#WiganWednesday

#WiganWednesday is the day to celebrate everything that is good about Wigan and to highlight little know facts about the town!

I have been tweeting #WiganWednesday most Wednesdays now for about 3 years.

I thought it would be apt, as today is in fact #WiganWednesday, I would write a blog post about it and include a couple of #WiganWednesday picture quizzes.

Can you name the Wiganers below?

Quiz 1 is quite easy I feel, it's just to warm you up before you tackle quiz 2.

Can you name the Wiganers below, who is the odd one out and why in quiz 2?

Thanks for reading and playing!
