Never mind Tomkins ability as a player (which is considerable, let's be fair) but what is the deal with calling him 'Sam' all the time. Yes yes yes, I know his brother plays in the same team but all this 'Sam' this and 'Sam' that is a little bit paternal for my liking.

He's a sportsman so he should be getting calling by:-

His last name: Tomkins
His full name: Sam Tomkins
A mixture of the two: Tomksins (S)
His nickname: The Jellyfish

'the little rat'

these threads are pointless.
As anyone who wouldnt take Slater or Hayne wants to give their head a wobble.

re: Tomkins; its fair to say he will become a great player, especially as a full back. A better player in time than Hodgson? I reckon so
