the wire av signed a matured full back are u happy with that or wud rather simon moran break the bank for golden boy sam..the decision is yours..after todays flogging giving me hodgson...

even before today i would prefer Hodgeson

money no option though
you'd struggle to find someone say anyone other than billy slater

hodgson every time, especially over giving money to the goons for that rat when we've got our own quality players coming through the youth system!

very true.in a ideal world give me billy slater(class act)golden boy sam is average has proven yesterday..maybe folk may take there goggles off has far as this over rated player is concerned...

Mathers.

Hodgson is a good signing for us. Well experienced player, and like the other aussies, will most likely play at a whole new level than what we've seen him play in SL so far under Tony Smith. His experience will rub off on the younger players as they come through the ranks and will replace him when he retires.

Funnily enough, I've only ever liked Sam Tomkins when he played for England. Hate him at Wigan, and now he's proving to be a small fish in a very big pond when it comes to Internationals.

Give Tomkins some time at full-back for England...

One chance in a desperation situation isn't exactly enough to inspire confidence in a youngster.

Clearly the best fullback in England. Take it from someone who spotted Slater before his NRL career started (ie. playing for Brisbane Norths in 2002) and had to put up with a lot of morons saying he was crap before he proved, when it comes to backs, he is the best in the world outside the halves (and some would say verging on best player full-stop).

Are people on this thread seriously saying they wouldn't break the bank for Sam Tomkins?

It would appear that some are. Looks like the lunatics are taking over the Asylum again.

I don't think he is worth it. He is no where near the finished article. He has way too many mistakes. Atm he wouldn't inspire me with confidence. Every time he got the ball I would expect him to slip over. He has scored amazing tries and sometimes he does look like he he has wronged the defence but if we had to wait two or three years for him to mature and improve, then we might as well get a youngster like Jordan Burke in. A player who will learn an awful lot from Hodgeson.

He might not be the best fullback in the world but he is certainly what we need right now.

Well it's hard to do that behind a beaten pack and when your a marked man

For me he wasn't used enough and there is nothing he can do without the ball the best thing we could have done was use him has a dummy runner cause everytime he got the ball there was a gap in the defence

tomkins is an exceptional player... anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.

But 'breaking the bank' for him wont happen. He wont be leaving wigan anytime soon... and if he does i imagine it will be for a club in the NRL.

Seriously? What do you think of Myler by the way...

I think his confidence is shaken. Will probably have an excellent year this year. Provided us with many a try last year.

Why?

Can't see how that is relevant.

Warrington fans at their best!!!hahahahahahahha

Which, the ones suggesting that Tomkins is worth "breaking the bank" for?

There are idiot fans everywhere; like the Wigan fans claiming Richards is the best winger in the world.

mathers

hee hee...

Whatever anyone's opinion of Tomkins is, I suggest that you stay off this Site after what you posted about one of our players recently. I am amazed that you have not recieved a lifetime ban from RL Fans.

I am actually amazed by your post!!! Even for a Wire this is bad!!

where have i gone wrong then?

oh well he personally wouldn't inspire me with confidense.

What i have sene of him this year. Several times in person,

I would say he doesn't inspire me with confidense.
He is quick but he is beyond weak when the player comes to him. Don't know if he has weak legs or he wears the wrong boots but it happenes a lot.

Do you think he is the finsihed article. You think he can't make any fewer mistakes?

The best back in Super League and only 21, improving every year. He was vital in this years grand final. He rarely makes a mistake and he still isn't the finished article. The most hyped player in the country and rightly so.
Your comments are embarrassing.

We can differ on opinions on how many mistakes he makes.

You have proven the point. He isn't the finished article. He is young and makes mistakes.

Wire would have to break the bank to afford him and offer a good contract to tempt him. For three years or so we would have sunk too much money into him for little reward.

He is hyped but mostly by Wiganers. He could easily become the greatest player to pick up a ball and make Billy slater look average but then again he might not.

No matter you opinion on why he was terrible in Australia. Would you like to see that sort of performance week in and out for Wigan or imagine if he lost some potential. Losing potential is common. Just look at westerman, he was proclaimed as the best of british a couple of years ago and now he seems to have thrown it away somewhat.

The point being at the moment Tomkins wouldn'y inspire me with confidence because he is inexperienced and prone to mistakes. You can just accept that as my opinion but i really don't think Warrington should give up the oppurtunity for a great NRL replacement for briers on a risk in the form of Sam.

Again though, Good luck to him. Apart from that ball pinning trick he is a thoroughly respectable player. I wish him the best.

If he wanted to come to Wire when his contract was up and had a desire then i would welcome him with open arms. Less risk then.

he was the second best player in SL last year and he rarely makes mistakes.

not quite sure which player you have been watching but you are totally wrong here. It's not about opinions at all..... its about being able to see what a talented player he is.... infact he is such a good player that he has been able to switch from stand off to fullback and still be one of the best players in that position as well

Signing him wouldnt be even a slight risk... but its a pointless debate anyway because it wont be happening..
