Quote ="dubairl"another one who sounds like they haven't stepped on a rugby field... when 6,7,9 dont make any space or even string more than 3 pass together how is he sposed to do hes job? other than scout. if sam was in the aussie sqaud he would mickey all over england and you know it so stop being a blind idiot'"
Actually played and watched rugby for many years and btw its your forwards who make the space not your halves. And in any case im not denying tomkins is a good player, and one day may be a great player, but for me hasnt shown for wigan or england that hes 100k better than any other sl player. I always say the mark of a great player is to play well behind a beaten pack or when your teammates arent playing well which mr tomkins has failed to do. Therefore imo hes not upto the level of being called great yet
