Until Eastmond toughens up, he won't last a full match with the rugger buggers running into him.

I agree, i also thought kyle was a little ahead of tomkins last year and also for the early part of the season as kyle was on fire but tomkins then raised the bar.
Sam tomkins was the best english player in super league last year by a mile.

| I don't personally like Sam Tomkins. However, there is no way I could possibly knock his talent as a Rugby League player. I don't think he's there yet as he has things to learn, but there is no doubt that he will be a world class player in years to come.

Why? Have you ever met him?

| Quote Blobbynator="Blobbynator"Sam Tomkins ripped us to shreds. I don't like the guy as he epitomises everything about Wigan, but he is absolutely top class. Everytime he got the ball I cringed expecting him to break our line. He could have a huge Four Nations tournament especially if he plays at full back.'"
About sums it up!!
Only problem is we get talent like Eastmond and Tomkins and then look to put them down at every chance! Tomkins is awesome and when he is on form like last night he can be virtually unplayable!
As Cunningham was in his prime!

I was referring to his on-field personna. Not his social attributes.

He strikes me as a typical (or stereotypical?) halfback. He's sly, sneaky, a pain in the backside and tough as old boots. Should be good for many years to come.

| While there is no doubting Eastmonds ability, he simply doesn't have a 1/4 of the heart Tomkins has. Tomkins takes shlt loads and gets up everytime. When things go Saints way Eastmond is a cracking player. I just doubt he has the heart to play at the top and thus will never be fit to lace Tomkins boots.
FWIW Wellens was class yesterday for you. Had that break he made been 2-3 years ago I reckon he probably would have finished it and why Potter has let Matty Smith go is beyond me

'"
I can see why they've let Matty Smith go, I think one of the reasons why he made such an impact coming back was because they'd had Wilkin in the halves for a while.
I'd rather have Lomax or Eastmond every day of the week.
Wellens is always class imo, if he had pace he would have been truly world class.

Fair enough - you see your team every week.

Surely that can't be levied at Potter?
For an outgoing coach, how much (if any) control would he have over the 2011 squad?
