Yeesh, Locke or Townsend, lucky warriors.

I said when his move to the Warriors was announced that he'd probably be in reserve grade by the end of this season and back here with his tail between his legs before the end of next year, and I'm sticking with that.

If he returns to this country tail between legs, it'll be to union. |

I'm a huge fan of Tomkins but early evidence indicates he is not fit for the purpose as a fullback in the NRL and a switch to five-eighth may well be his salvation. |

He should play stand off or even centre. He's very similar to Jonathan Davies and he played his best RL at centre for me. He' s not as good an all round player as JD though.

Why do you say "in the NRL" as though this is something new? I've been pointing it out for years but typical of British RL fans they make excuses. I think Sam is a great talent. He needs to play in adifferent place to make best useof those and defend on the wing ot thereabouts. |

Because Sam Tomkins was the best fullback in Super League by some distance and was therefore fit for the purpose, as opposed to appearing unfit for the purpose at fullback in the NRL thus far. Quite a significant distinction worth pointing out, hence why I said it. |

Yes, particularly great under the high ball.

I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a talented boy and will come good in time.
When the Warriors find some form, I'm sure he'll be at the forefront of it.

He's always bn dodgy defensively; apparently he's 6 kgs lighter than Slater even. I would choose D Boyd ahead of Tomkins. I'm sure I read somewhere that someone had the Warriors dwn as their favourites for the Wooden Spoon. Storm, Panthers, Bulldogs, Eagles, Roosters, Raiders, Cowboys and Rabbitohs are better than the Warriors, so IMO they would be over-achieving by reaching the Finals Series. But they have made a late run before.

And that's more than enough to judge any player... |
