| It’s awesome that we’ve got the most entertaining and best fullbacks in the world up against each other on Saturday. I have to say I’ve been more entertained by Sam Tomkins offerings throughout super league and the four nations that I have by Billy’s efforts in the four nations so far.
Slater always has a fantastic game against England but let’s hope that Tomkins has a better one than him this Saturday!

| Sam will need a big game with the RFU watching if he's to tie up the deal with Union that he wants so dearly.

| He's an arrogant, narcissistic, egocentric, self-admiring little tw*t with an over-inflated self worth.
Not a huge fan of Tomkins either.

Either of them would walk into any side in their respective hemispheres.
I'd say their self-worth is pretty much grounded in fact. I'd take either of them at Leeds in a heartbeat.

Actually, my observation that they had an over-inflated sense of self-worth wasn't to do with which team they would/wouldn't get in to. It was to do with the fact that they're JUST A RUGBY PLAYER.
You can be the best RL player in the world (Slater IS!), and it still doesn't give you the right to have THAT chip on your shoulder.
You run around a piece of grass for other people's amusement. That's all you do. No arrogance, shoulder chips, over-inflated sense of self worth AT ALL please. Regardless of what team you could walk in to. I'm not saying they're not good at Rugby League. They are. I'm not saying I wouldn't have them at Leeds. I would. But it's JUST A GAME. It's just their job. See Kevin Sinfield for more details. A little humility goes a long way.

| everybody calm down count down from five nice and slowly. now dont make things up its just a question but what has made you think tomkins is arrogant? it started off as he's a cheat. I will tell you why he isn't arrogant but just a jack the lad enjoying hes rugby.. many of you may know or not sam does a lot of charity work (milly dowler cause), rugby development with st pats (in hes spare time) and on he's twitter will allways answer charity or birthday requests. Even in his interviews he is allways down to earth just actually listen to them. To me if he was as arrogant as he is being portrayed on here then why would he bother he must be too good for anybody.

That isn't arrogance that was allowing emotions to get the better of him. Lee smith challenge cup celebration in front of the wigan fans that could be seen as arrogance but i would see it as an overflow of emotions.

| Sam Tomkins is by far the best player in Super League at this time. It would be a shame to lose him to Union but I can't see a way of keeping him unless the RFL do the right thing and let Wigan (and all other teams) discount a portion of one player's wages on the Salary Cap (Marquee Player).
