Tomkins is brilliant - Can't wait to see him up against the Aussies this summer.

I would, however, not tire of punching him in the face icon_lol.gif

I remember when we played Wigan at the DW this season and they were absolutely battering us. Broughton scored a length of the field try with Tomkins in close pursuit. After failing to catch Broughton, Tomkins started pointing at the scoreboard and goading the fans.

We need more players like him in the league though - it would be a lot less interesting league without players that you can't stand icon_smile.gif

Every team has them though, just many dont like to admit it. Try to get a Warrington fan to admit the same about Briers...

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



I could do without the diving at the play of the ball and the holding down of the tackler. He's no Danny McGuire either, cut the Sky hype and the Wigan are the greatest team ever rubbish out and look at what he really is.

I agree, it's the only thing McGuire is better than Tomkins at!

Great player with a bright future imo, just hope he doesn't go 'missing' in the four nations.

As for last nights away crowd which was mentioned earlier, I fail to see what else Huddersfield can do as a club, the passion for Rugby League in the town obvioulsy isn't there. (and before someone jumps down my throat I know there are passionate Hudds fan out there but simple fact is there should be more, the club on paper is a winner)

Did Alex Murphy or even Tommy God ever have anything to say during a match?

Tomkins is one of the most exciting young talents to emerge in this country for ages, but he's a rugby player, not an etiquette coach. He is full of it, and all the best players have plenty of dog in them. Same as pretty much any player there are things he could improve and stuff he could reduce or cut out but I don't think sainthood is a pre-requisite for good players.

As a non SL fan, Tomkins is the best talent in british rugby for some time now. For me he has a bit of an Edwards look to his play. Lets hope for our games sake we can uncover and develop some more talent like this and build our international team around them.

Edwards was no special talent. There were better players than him about during his time in the game.

They are very similar in look though, both incredible ugly men.

He was a bit more special than the talentless english half backs we have now!! Whilst our physical game and pack has got closer to the aussies over the years, we have no creativity. An edwards, gregory (and hanley to be greedy) in recent years would have pushed the Aussies a lot harder and possibly made a difference.

Briers is a niggly little . That's why we love him. That's also why I don't mind Tompkins.

Tomkins is quick, but theres not enough about him and hes not big enough to play against the Kangaroos. Their backs will eat him alive. Typical British RL focus on part of his play that's brilliant and talk him up as much as possible. Look he's quick, but he's skinny. Inglis would run straight through him.
