A mate from Uni went to school with the Tomkins lads. When she finishes with saying how arrogant etc he is (ive just asked her what he was like etc) she says he is indeed from Chorley and as far as she is aware they actually support Wigan as a result of them giving their sons a shot however they may have supported Wire at some stage she says they weren't exactly "friends" haha.



Tbh he may be a great player but he sounds like a right coxk hahaha

Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell everyone......

He's a young, ridiculously talented half back, he's bound to be cocky. Even the cr@p ones are cocky (see Kevin Brown for further details).

You don't know much if you think Brown's a poor player. Hudds most important player for me. They fell apart when they lost him at the end of the season.

and we all know how that story might turn out

I agree with jimmy, Brown looked very sharp agianst Bradford, has quite a step on him.

Brown is finally getting his career upto a level it should have reached long ago and i'm happy for him. He had a rough time off some of the fans at Wigan and the pressure really seemed to get to him.



The guy never made any secret of the fact he was a Wigan fan and it was his dream to pull on the Wigan shirt but for some reason he got little patience off an element of our support. I think alot of people saw him as being too cocky and just took a dislike to him.

I saw it as the opposite TBH.



I thought that Brown started to believe his own hype, after Stevo went and bought him that bl00dy watch.



He seemed to switch off and assume that things would just happen for him.



That's why I think the fans lost patience with him.

Expectation was too high on him imo. The pressure grew and especially when more experienced guys starting moving on. He got shifted between centre and Stand off and just seemed to lose confidence.



A section of the fans got on his back after every mistake and his Wigan career fell to pieces.



He was the scapegoat of that era.

He was also playing in a poor side with no confidence and was under a coach that was ruining the young lads in training when they made a mistake.



The club had to bring a psychologist in to try and get their confidence levels back up.

Sam was born in Milton Keynes & the family moved to Chorley when he was young!

It didn't help that the 14 year old morons in the South Stand voted him man of the match every week either.
