Quote ="TRB"Not sure I watched the same game as you lot - miserable sods!
I thought Wigan were simply magnificent and their form of 'total' rugby league is just simply awesome and lays a platform for the [size=200mercurial Tomkins[/size.
I also though that Child had the best game I've ever seen from him. Sure he got a few technical calls wrong - it happens - but his calm demeanour helped the keep the lid just about on in one of the hardest fought games of the season - yes, even Leeds fought hard at time even though it wasn't their night - sad as it was!

I'm honestly not having a go but he doesn't deserve that title just yet IMHO. He absolutely babbed himself in the Tri-nations final against the misters last year - he was a disgrace in that game.
Until he's addressed that particular issue for me he's just a pocket sized trickster who manages to baffles the simpletons of SL. He'd get mullered in the NRL at present.
I'm not saying the ability isn't their, I'm just not convinced the ticker or the ambition to be the worlds best RL is. I see him coasting through the next 3 years in SL, never really bothering the real men from the Southern Hemisphere and then taking the Union silver on a less than deserved reputation in RL..
Sorry that's how I see it.
