I love watching Tomkins play. Really good player. Some people are forgetting that he's already lined up against the Aussies and didn't look the slightest bit out of place and in fact the Aussies even pointed him out as a danger man for us.

Another season under his belt and masses more confidence I can't wait to see him running at them this year.

Sam Tomkins is the best player in the super league by a country mile. He has improved so much this season its unbeliveable. He is well on his way to be named a Wigan legend even at such a young age. He knows every trick in the book, and has a great rugby brain. Hopefully we see some of his performances this season in a England Shirt.

At last, a "rugby league" fan, and not a "I hate Tomkins because he plays for Wigan"

As good as Tomkins is, Robbie Paul was twice as good before his injuries.

There is no doubting the talrn of Tomkins. BUT they constant replays was getting a little boring. It got ridiculous when we kicked and he did an inside pass one handed (no one anywhere near him) and they were praising it!!??

His ultimate test will be against Australia. He won't be able to run round the entire team like he does here. They, every man in that team will be able to tackle 1-1. He has lgihtening speed, but with Slater, Morris, Inglis chasing him, it won't be the end all. I really hope he does it for England. But it will be a true test for him.

Sam Tomkins deserves all the plaudits he gets, sky should be replaying footage of him, Super League has been crying out for a player like him for a few years now. He is the closest thing we have to a Billy Slater or Darren Lockyer type player.

Im sure you would, so would I, it'd be great wouldn't it.

BTW He's already mugged Lockyer and Inglis in his first season a the DW.

Is that the same O'Loughlin that seems to find it impossible to tackle BELOW shoulder height.

Fail.

Wouldn't say twice as good, but Robbie Paul was outstanding in his prime and would say they're probably equal.

Awesome talent. His arrogance/cocky streak probably helps him a bit too, and he certainly has a massive desire to win.

Interesting to hear on SKY his arrogance isn't the same level off the pitch.

I don't mind him that much, if he cut out the dramatics (he's stopped the arm clamp as much) I'd probably like him a bit, he's certainly excellent to watch and without a doubt the best British back in SL (although from what I've seen this season, Widdop could be challenging for the best back overall)

Sod Robbie Paul Vs Sam Tomkins......... Vainikolo Or Offiah???

And whilst I'm praising Wigan, SO'L is actually a player I do like. He's great to watch, best 13 in the league an one of my favourite players from other teams in the league.

Can't believe some actually think he's just a cheap shot / head high merchant. He's been nowhere near as bad since Maguire took over and he has a good if not better defensive game than Langley and a better passing game than Sinfield.

All round its Vainikolo, in a straight foot race Offiah would have ripped him apart! That's providing Les hadn't have smashed him into the ground before he got into his stride!
