The talk was they've signed him to play outside centre. I'm not sure he has the pace and possibly number 8 would suit him more but then he won't have long to adapt to playing in the pack. I had a quick look for stats but haven't got the time to look properly.

How was Widdop this morning? At work so didn't catch it, is it just me who thinks he's a little over-rated? Not seen even half of his matches but not impressed me too much when I've seen him

Gutterfax is the only name I use now jet black is retired from LU!........no need to hide behind any other names....but every need for the soft cocks at LU to ban me......even from TFC as they don't like losing debates......most insecure bunch on the planet that lot. Mention AFL and they fill their nappies

He played pretty well, unfortunately he now has numpties alongside him rather than Storm players.

He played pretty well in a losing team. Most of his field kicking and 5th tackle kicking was very good. He defended well. He is a good player.

Pity that he has a few numpties playing alongside him, which wasn;'t the case at the Melbourne Storm.

Warriors were in need of a Stella display from Tomkins v manly but again, he failed to turn up. Commentary team bemoaned the lack of any decent kick returns this year.......he really hasn't shown to be anything other than as good as what we already had.

You fail to note that Tomkins attacking prowess at NZ Warriors has been based upon the presence of Shaun "Magic" Johnson. That sublime half back was not playing today. Also Tomkins works best with Thomas Leuluai at five eighth. Tommy was playing scrum half in place of Johnson, with Chad Townsend at five eighth. As you may have noticed Townsend is a complete idiot, with a kicking game that loses Warriors field position. Once Shaun "Magic" Johnson is back on the field, he must be partnered by Thomas Leuluai, not Chad Townsend. If that happens we will finally see the best of Samuel Tomkins.

Samuel Levi Tomkins is far superior to Kevin "Nobby" Locke. Salford fans will soon find out that "Nobby" has a very bad attitude to training and being a team player.

Samule Levi Tomkins had another great game today for the New Zealand Warriors scoring a try in their 54-18 annihilation of the Canberra Raiders. The Warriors, missing super star scrum half Shaun Johnson, were ahead 54-0 until 7 minutes from the end, when injuries caused the coach to play with just 12 men, enabling Canberra to post three consolation tries.

Tomkins is being called the "Wigan Wizard" by by ace Fox commentator Andrew Voss.

I though Mark Gasnier's comments on Tomkins during the game this morning were pretty fair. He basically said we're seeing glimpses of Tomkins' best as he's getting used to the week-in, week-out intensity of the NRL and we'll see the best of him more consistently next season. Canberra were woeful this morning but he was running riot in the first half.

Tomkins main problem is Johnson. IMO he should have joined a club where he was going to the main play-maker, not playing in the shadow of one of the best scrum-halfs the NRL...

The raiders were that poor I suspect I could have looked good playing against them.
