According to the official website, Tomkins was born on 1st August, 1991 - which makes him 20. Whenever I've seen him for Widnes he's looked very useful - he guides the team around the park pretty well. Obviously he needs to improve, but the ability is there.

As for Mellor, from what I've heard if he hadn't had the injury to his knee-cap he'd be playing for the first team now. He's very highly thought of.

The expectation of some Wigan "fans" is quite ridiculous at times just because his last name is Tomkins people expect him to be a world beater, Its pathetic for those who suggest that Carberry is a better prospect explain why he hasn't been sent out on Dual Reg as the players who go out to other clubs are generally the players most likely to get the next shot in the first team, So it suggests to me that Carberry isn't as highly regarded at this moment as Logan. I'm sure Carberry will likely go on Dual Reg next season unless of course he ends up like Sam Gee who I thought looked a terrific prospect but as much as we have our opinions ultimately its the coaching set up that makes the decisions not the "fans" as much as some like to wish they did.

Yeah the site is wrong

So because Logan is on duel reg you think he is better than Carberry?

I absolutely do think he is better than Carberry because the Coaches obviously rate Logan higher otherwise it would be Carberry on Dual
Reg & Logan would be in the 20's every week I think it's safe to say that the coaches know more than we do.

Yes, but Rogues said Carberry was "a better prospect", not better, and I tend to agree. He was outstanding tonight, admittedly against very poor opposition...I think he reads a game better than Logan does.

The reason Carberry isn't out on dual reg is that he still qualifies and plays at U18's.
