I agree, it's the only thing McGuire is better than Tomkins at!

Great player with a bright future imo, just hope he doesn't go 'missing' in the four nations.

As for last nights away crowd which was mentioned earlier, I fail to see what else Huddersfield can do as a club, the passion for Rugby League in the town obvioulsy isn't there. (and before someone jumps down my throat I know there are passionate Hudds fan out there but simple fact is there should be more, the club on paper is a winner)

Brilliant.

Did Alex Murphy or even Tommy God ever have anything to say during a match?

Tomkins is one of the most exciting young talents to emerge in this country for ages, but he's a rugby player, not an etiquette coach. He is full of it, and all the best players have plenty of dog in them. Same as pretty much any player there are things he could improve and stuff he could reduce or cut out but I don't think sainthood is a pre-requisite for good players.

As a non SL fan, Tomkins is the best talent in british rugby for some time now. For me he has a bit of an Edwards look to his play. Lets hope for our games sake we can uncover and develop some more talent like this and build our international team around them.

Edwards was no special talent. There were better players than him about during his time in the game.

They are very similar in look though, both incredible ugly men.

does tend to throw him selve about a lot at plb alot

He was a bit more special than the talentless english half backs we have now!! Whilst our physical game and pack has got closer to the aussies over the years, we have no creativity. An edwards, gregory (and hanley to be greedy) in recent years would have pushed the Aussies a lot harder and possibly made a difference.

Briers is a niggly little . That's why we love him. That's also why I don't mind Tompkins.

Tomkins is quick, but theres not enough about him and hes not big enough to play against the Kangaroos. Their backs will eat him alive. Typical British RL focus on part of his play that's brilliant and talk him up as much as possible. Look he's quick, but he's skinny. Inglis would run straight through him.

I normally don't respond to you but that is definitely worth a











































There it's out of my system now, and I will continue to ignore you.

The kids a talent that I cannot deny but along with probably Eastmond they both have to fulfil their talents against better opposition(4 nations) and if they do I personally will be delighted.

In response to the Giants fans ejected - they werent ejected, they were talked to by the stewards, who were actually very reluctant to do anything due to the fact that the giants fans werent actually the perpetrators but were told to be seen to be doing something.
What happened was a Wigan fan took exception to one of the lads giving the ref a bit of mouth over a decision , a few verbals were exchanged before the Wigan fan told him to sit down or he would 'knock him out' ..........the Giants fan responded and told him to 'come here and knock me out then' !! the stewards took the Giants fan downstairs for a word - when it was questioned why nothing had been said to the Wigan fan who started it , the stewards actually said - we were told not to say anything cos there's more of them and it might cause problems

.

There was no trouble whatsoever just verbals, but that was probably more due to the kick off time and the fact that it was a tense game on the field which led to one or two tense moment in the stand where both sets of fans mixed !

Not dirty, but niggly and with more than his share of attitude. You don't see many players with his class and will to win in British RL, and I have to say he's the kind of player that fans love (or hate!) to watch. It could be worse - he could play for Leeds!

Please don't tell me you're a Huddersfield fan? How many fans did you bring - 100? For the birthplace of Rugby League that is awful.

It's cute when little clubs get excited after a victory over Wigan. They don't have enough fans on their own board so instead come scuttling over to ours to jack off.

Cute. Very cute. In the words of Uncle Mo " bless 'em! "

Tomkins being niggly doesent bother me! His blatant diving to win penalties is thevthing that annoys me. Is he the first regular diver to play in super league?

Almost Guilty of manslaughter.

I thought eddie was going to explode when he scored last night.






















IT MAKES THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK STAND UP

Its funny how a little club spoiling their part can clearly hurt them so much.

Donna, babes, which part do you not agree with deep down?

Both points sort of correct. (Second point completely correct, tbf.)

There *were* better players than Edwards about, even in his team: namely Gregory and Hanley. Schofield was better at international level too. Edwards was still very good though.

On topic, Tomkins reminds me more of Gregory anyway, with his bit of mongrel though his skillset may be closer to an Edwards or Schofield. Not bad company to keep anyway.

its to be hoped that tomkins can do better than edwards, gregory or hanley cos we still didnt beat the aussies in a series when those 3 played and i for one havent seen anything yet from tomkins and co to suggest that will alter any time soon unfortunately.

If you are missing that little bit of niggle as a half, you will end up getting rinsed.

Bit of a lame excuse that squire, you dont hear of the midget fans having trouble at other grounds where the fans mix. One solution though would be to take a few more fans and then just maybe they might give you the away stand the one they normally reserve for away fans, just a thought really.
