A 4 of Brough, Tomkins Riddell/Leuluai looks quite strong imo.

It does but still useless behind a pack that couldnt beat the skin off custard.

Absolutely, but i think if Noble/A.N.Other sticks to the plan of using Mossop as a 2nd row come 5th prop then we would have the bulk to be able to battle with teams enough in the pack.

Even better would be getting a new prop in and getting a fit feka. We can compete in the first 20 with Coley and Prescott on the pitch, just after the prop interchanges we start to suffer.

I'd be glad if he came. It would give us an instant much needed kicking game.

Agree. Me and a mate were talking about the Saints game the other week and agreed that a player like Brough COULD have set us up to win that game due to his kicking alone when we were 6-4 up.

Is he any good?

Latest rumour is that he is joining Wakefield in a swap deal for Danny Brough.

I've only seen a few of your games on Sky and everyone raves about him but it seems to me he is a little bit gobby, and thinks he's better than he is.

Sam Tomkins is going to Wakefield as a make weight for Brough plus £700k as Wigan need a good half back.
It's true, honest!

He has a better haircut than Brough.
