Listen carefully to the conversation, especially at the end of the interview. Tomkins asks Crowe if he is interested in "a scrawny full back.." Crowe says that he already has Greg Inglis.
Then Crowe says: "If you ever want to have a conversation... you're a brilliant player.."
Then Crowe says: "Don't, whatever you do, go to an NRL club that is not in Australia."
In other words, he doesn't want Tomkins to go to the NZ Warriors.
Looks pretty obvious from this that Sam Tomkins is seriously considering an offer from the NZ Warriors. On the other hand Crowe would try to find a place for Sam at South Sydney, but not at full back.

Inglis could very easily be moved into the centres, like he is for Queensland to accommodate Slater, if Crowe and Maguire think Tomkins will bring something to the team from there.
Don't see him playing at 6 as Sutton and Reynolds both offer more in the halves than Tomkins does IMO

Hasn't Crowe had public disagreements with members of the management of NZ Warriors?

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Inglis could easily move back to centre or wing to accomodate.

Souths have improved massively since Madge moved Inglis at fullback, he has more involvement and influences the game a lot more from that position. I don't Souths need Sam or could afford him with the talent they have in their current roster.

There might be nothing in it, but then I'm sure most clubs, including South Sydney, would always be interested in a player the quality of Tomkins.
Also, fair play to Tomkins, he didnt do too badly interviewing people, better than Eddie anyway.

If he's that good at FB, why doesn't he play there for Queensland or the national team?? |

The best in the world, but not the Best in Australia? Or the best in Queensland for that matter? |

The Oz commentators get it right when he's playing FB "he's the best FB in the world" when he's playing centre "he's the best centre in the world". We all know why he's not playing FB at Origin or International, Billy the Kid. However, he [iIS[/i thee best player in the world. Im a Leeds fan, I know Sinfield isn't the best player in the world. His "Golden Boot" was a jerk reaction to his achievements last season and his inclusion as England captain.
Inglis is the best in the world bar none. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I think Inglis is the best in the world. The reason he doesn't start at FB for Aus and Queensland is because they are keeping their tried and tested team together which includes Slater at FB with Inglis at Centre. Thats just the way it is.
Inglis could signal a move to a 'new' kind of FB.
I believe Tomkins could be just as good if he goes to the NRL though, the guy is a once in a generation player. |
