Many in the NRL pretty much play with 2 fullbacks on the kick chase. The wing drops back so the fullback can distribute to him if needed. This tactic, if used, would release some of the impacts Tomkins would endure.

He'd be the sort of front rower we need.

Good point. With Roberts and Richards on the wings Sam would have cover from both wings when returning the ball.
His link up in attack with the halves would be fantastic for the team allowing more attacking options and creativity.

He has the speed to be a great support player and the step and movement to link up well in attack.

A few seasons back, (mainly in his bulldog days) he was a cracking animal of a prop. But he isn't getting much game time at the moment and I don't know currently what standard he is at, if he comes, I just hope we get the O Meley from the Bulldogs not the O Meley from the Roosters.

Agree if we are going for a stop gap signing i would have hoped for a level up from Fien, he is a good player but if we are looking for 2-3 seasons out of a player i would like us to look at the real cream of the crop and i think Fien just falls below this level.

Fien isn't a million miles away from Tommy as a player anyway.

He sure would. Excellent go forward takes no crap prop forward. I firmly believe that a player of his level would improve us 10 fold.

Personally would prefer Mason or Webb he would be my third choice but I agree his or a player like his presence in the team would be one of the last pieces in the jigsaw.

Mason or Shrek

Knowing us and the players we tend to go for we will end up with Donkey.

I'd sooner have Mason than O'Meley.

Why? Mason is hard, is not afraid of a scrap and will give us a bit of aggression. We're too nice at the min, and we need an intimidating figure who will rough us up a bit.

O'Meley. Nah. Shiit out big style when someone's had a go at him a few times when I've seen him.

I would not go that far still think he is able to dish it out when he wants but i agree to a certain extent in the fact he does not have the raw aggression of a Mason or Webb which is why i would have them over him as my first 2 targets.

There are plenty of videos on youtube that suggest that the above comment is rubbish.

Correct

O'meley vs Gibbs

Booooooooooooooooooom. Mason's sentiments are quite interesting, if you can lip read.

Possibly my fave!!! Awesome power.

When? You evidently have not watched much of the NRL have you?

Roosters seem to have the same penchant as Wigan do-ruining excellent footballers.

Youtube search for bulldogs big hits 2007.

OUCH!

Aran Tuamata is still available by all accounts, from what limited footage i have seen of him he reminds me of a young Henry Paul, could be a great partner to develop with Tomkins allowing us to get some real settlement in the halves, but i think we have enough bad boys in the team as it is who have pished most of there talent up a wall, plus he is quota, so would be a hugely risky signing.

S Tomkins
Roberts Gleeson Carmont Richards
Myler Long
Fielden McC Webb
Hock Tomkins
Lockers
-------------
Tommy Feka O Carroll Mossop

Easy

What happened to rumours and and signing thread part 12? Is 12 unlucky in wigan instead of 13?

I hope this doesnt end up another 'were going for Gasnier but come back with DV'
