Quote: leedsnsouths "That game summed up Tomkins as a fullback for me, brilliant with the ball but positionally poor, naive, and shaky both under the high ball and tackling one on one.
He should have moved back to 6 after that game and by now England could have a genuinely decent set of halves.'"
I recall him running after the ref complaining about a forward pass whilst the play was still going and Hardaker running through the gap that Tomkins had vacated to score. He's become even worst for that on his return. The Super 8's game between Wigan and Wire is was embarrassing how often he was turning to argue with the ref whilst the play was still alive, sometimes when Wire scored in the corner he could've gotten over to help tackle the scorer had he bothered. I know every team has their complainers to the ref when a try is scored but I haven't seen anybody do it as much whilst play is active and ignore his position.
