I think he thinks he is better than he is & his attitude is awful - he is very petulant at times - & having watch the game last night - I've change my opinion of his brother Joel - I always thought he was the more sensible of the 2 - how wrong was I!!!

Right now if fit i'd have McGuire over Tomkins

McGuire also scored the try of the season with his double chip over the top, forget which side but what a fantastic try.

It take a long time for half backs, particularly stand offs, to learn their trade. That's why Wally Lewis, Lauries Daly, Shaun Edwards, Schofield, Lockyear etc were all far more affective in their mid to late twenties. Consequently, I am not surprised that McGuire has been so good this season and, on the basis of what I have witnessed, far superior to Tomkins.
Having said that, Tomkins is very much younger and I am sure, his time will come.
Comparing Tomkins to Slater at the present moment in time is like comparing an RS4 to a Ferrari. One is truly exceptional and performs like a thing of beauty. The other has lots of things to admire and is a class above most of what surrounds it but, in a straight contest on the track, there really is only one winner.

Sam Tomkins needs to be careful in reference to his arm lock technique he uses often to milk penalties.

Some people won't stand there waiting for the ref to act, they may break his arm in getting him off.

** Weegan mode **
"you reap what you sow, a broken arm is the least he deserves for cheating"
"I hope he broke his neck"
"I hope it's a career ending injury"

No no, they only feel like that if you give away a penalty in the last 5 seconds of a game. Being a cheat doesn't count at any other time in the 80 minutes.
