mr clarke compares tomkins to edwards ...laughable...not fit to lace edwards boots....

Thanks for the info...

...and thanks for Gleeson btw.

thanks for mathers and the money well done tonight btw..hope leeds pick you

Both Wigan lads
Both Stand-offs
Both awesome players.

yeah they're nothing alike...

Shouldn't you be telling people about your challenge cup win somewhere?

yep told someone on here..and they were mowing the lawn i was told....bitter and twisted eh

Maybe in a couple of years but at the minute only about 30 winners medals behind. Although must admit Mr Edwards played in a slightly better team!

I couldn't have put it better myself

Edwards was in a far better team, behind a far better pack with far better players outside him. Tomkins is doing extremely well behind an average pack, with average players outside him.

What would Tomkins have done in the team Edwards played in?

And why the hell are people even comparing them when Tomkins is only 20?

He will inevitably draw comparisons to Shaun. But it will be very hard to say who is the better player. Edwards was in a far more dominant team, with far more talented players around him.

that plank phil clarke was

Is Phil Clarke not a person?

a very biased one at that

A very biased one that tipped Hull KR to win tonight

phil clarke didn't compare, he talked about locals comapring him to shaun edwards. too earlt to tell. lets just enjoy the talent we have in tomkins.

Not as biased as that clueless prick Hemmings.

so who is the better player then..for me its edwards by a mile

Are you comparing Edwards as the finished article against Tomkins in his first season?


Can you remember how Edwards played in his first season???

Utterly idiotic comparison.

edwards by a country mile . after watching the play of games this weekend i worry for the state of super league the standard in the two games very very poor

That's a Big Call!

Edwards is 43 you know!

Anyway, I am so glad we haven't had our end of season Party Yet otherwise I would be trying to catch a few small ones on other boards will inwardly churning!

PS

If we'd payed you double to take Mathers it would have been worth it!

yes...a lot better than tomkins

In many ways.

Then you don't remember then!

tomkins is in his first real season at wigan. And to be honest it hasn't been a full season and he only came into the side due to smiths injury. You cant compare, Its like trying to compare a rookie heavyweight to mohammed Ali. Tomkins will be a star, no doubt, buts its a different era of full time professionals playing through a different climate. a comparison is difficult, they will both be wigan legends !!!!!!

goes from a vote on the wep website i think --- anyway not in same class for me
