I'm not one for clamouring to move Sam Tomkins, I think he's fine at FB.

But, I do think he has to be more dominant when the ball's in the air. He can't continue pulling out and letting the ball bounce. When the ball's on the deck, he mops up well, in the air, it's a different matter.

Agreed.

The differences being
1) it only happened once
2) Tomkins didn't drop anything, he didn't even attempt to catch them

Samoa could be the team to beat in the 4 nations with just a few rule changes.
Half the NZ side could play for Samoa, and two of the young Australians, Milford and Sione Mataútia, are also very proud Samoans. On the Toa Samoa facebook page they have been putting up photos of Milford setting up tables on the sideline for the Samoan side today, and Sione has a brother in the Samoan squad.
Most of these guys play for NZ or Aus because of the money. Change the rules a bit to make the money equal, and suddenly Samoa is very hard to beat.

I agree.

Meanwhile Bentham is doing a great job for us vs. Aus.

Ray Warren: 'I'm loving the job the English ref is doing tonight, letting the game flow.'

Never thought I'd hear the words . . .

He was excellent in defence. One loose carry apart he was solid.

they need follow up aswell. At best it's likely 3 more years until they play a top 3 side

Surely that was offside from the kick? The first bloke that passed it was infront of the kicker...

I don't disagree. I just think too often Watkins is solid or even good when he has the potential to absolutely dominate games.

Watkins has all the tools to be constantly dangerous. Too often he is solid.

That's what I was going to say. Too often solid. He is an explosive match-winner but you don't see it often enough.
