Because he accrued enough points. Althoiugh he missed a few games, when he did play he was often in the top three.

Tomkins to win his second and join Andy Farrell and Paul Sculthorpe on 2 man of steel wins.

Whatever people think of Tomkins, he'll go down as one of the greats.

We'd all love Tomkins at Hull.

He's a more well rounded player since he came back from the NRL.

A fantastic competitor. Hes got plenty of stick when we've played Catalans in the last few seasons but he always pulls something out the bag.

I think he's a very good player but not a great.

Biggest British talent of his generation IMO.
