Quote: Awesome Aquinas "Sam Tomkins has clearly got the skill set to play in the NRL, but his temperament would have to change, as his opponents wouldn't put up with it in Australia.'"

I think you'd find he'd fit in just right with successful, ultra competitive footballers.

Quote: Rooster Booster "Crow. Why?

Just win with humility and dignity instead of acting like an Australian.'"


What like the English fans do?
Every game they have come close they have not shut up.
You would think the one game that was won in Sydney 5 years ago was the second coming of Christ.
Maybe you should make your living and reside with people you are comfortable with rather than be a whinging Pommy that takes all the opportunities of a good life in Australia but continually complains about the people around him and forever goes on about what is better from England.
You must feel like you live a double life.
I bet you don't gob off about all that is great from England around your Aussie "mates"
How are the Coogee under 14s going again Mate?

Oh dear. Poor chap. Full of errors, supposition, presumption and an attempt to ridicule and belittle, which probably sounded funny in your own mind. Ho hum.

Anyway.....

Tomkins is very good in attack but could be better in defence. Wellens was good in defence but brought nothing to the attack at the highest level. Radlinski was somewhere in-between on both counts. I'd go for Sam T every time even if both the others were in their prime - he shows exactly why NRL sides want great attacking players at fullback.

I'd agree. I was thinking about this the other day and everyone always tells us its our HBs and centres that are the problem but we really have had a dirge of full backs in the last 25 years.

I think it's more than it has only been over the last few years that defences have been good enough to let teams play with more attacking full backs. Before that a full back who couldn't tackle would be exposed too often.
