| Looks great at SL level, but needs to improve his international reputation come October/November. He didn't exactly shine when he went down under, last year. If he does well, I can see a huge offer being dangled in front of Wigan

| he's an excellent player... and wigans best by quite some distance.
You only had to see how toothless they looked in attack without him against bradford last week.

| is it because Hoffman's got his hand on a team-mate's shoulder, and he's saying to Hodgson
"ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY BIRD?"

I think the days of strong, athletic fullbacks like Belcher and Jack have long since past.
Fullback play changed significantly when Lockyer started playing. look at the current crop; Coote, Duggan, Gardner, and not forgetting Slater. All small guys with great pace, who look to attack when returning the ball.

| Thanks Wire fans for some intelligent and constructive comments. Makes a nice change to read a thread without it descending to petty bickering and chaos as happens on most boards.

| I don't think its size that would be a problem, its his decision making at times that could hinder him.
For instance he scored a good second try against HKR, but if you watch it back the Wigan winger had a stroll in to the line if Tomkins had passed.
Also he is devastating in broken play, but NRL defences are so much better organised, and if he wasn't in a team with a dominant pack like Wigan, again he could struggle, as I think his split second decision making regards to when to pass and not, isn't great.

| Nope, sorry he is still a little turd.
Mind you he isn't half as annoying as Phil Clarke.

Agreed. I can't really grumble when he comes up with the goods but pretty soon nobody will fall for those dummies.

Agree with this bit. Unless he learns to catch the high ball, he'll always have a massive weakness as a full-back. Think, long-term, he could be devastating at stand-off.

| To be fair to Tomkins, a lot of the best (and a few average) halves used to have a little nastiness/niggle/irritation about them

Tomkins

I'm led to believe, a certain Mr Murphy could be a bit of a b'5tard in his day.

You really don't need to look much further than Briers. Although he's not particularly nasty, he ticks the other 2 boxes.
I think it's a prerequisite of a quality half.
