| At the end of last season Ben Barba got bombed to death in the NRL playoffs and the Bulldogs lost. He spent the off-season practising under the high kicks and came out this season to be one of the world's best attacking fullbacks and has won just about every honour a player can get recently. D'ya not think Tomkins could maybe spend some time improving his "poor" areas as there's not a lot else going to occupy his winter this year.
As far as I'm aware the Tomkins family lived in Warrington when Joel was born but had moved down to MK before Sam was, so he has no allegiance to us, and thinks of himself as a Wiganer. He'll never sign for the Wire. We'll just have to see whether he wants to stay in RL and go down under or follow Joel and play RU as he's openly said he's not going to leave Wigan yet.

I would say that Sam is better than any of New Zealand's fullbacks though, which means there's a chance of beating them, on home soil at least.
Where would you rank Tomkins amongst the fullbacks of the NRL? Personally I'd say about seventh or eighth.'"
Josh Hoffman is very high quality.
Even the bottom five teams have good FBs
Marty Bowen I don't know where to start on your post but you clearly don't watch the NRL.

| I am sick and tired of seeing him to trying to referee the game and get opponents penalised. Tart.

| Devastating with ball in hand, and a player that I'm sure just about every Rugby team in the world (either code) would love to sign, but not a full back for me. I suspect Wigan might have been better off spending their money on a fullback (or promoting from within if they have young player deemed good enough) and moving Tomkins to Stand Off as he is a far far better halfback than either of the two they signed.

Why because my phone's predictive text spelled Matty incorrectly?
You do realise I said "my personal" and "in my opinion". That doesn't mean it's cold hard fact.
But Inglis has the lot, literally. Nobody will convince me there is a better rugby player on the planet no matter what they say.
Then, I watch all the games Premier Sports air. Every week Bowen is superb at the Cowboys. Dugan is a fantastic young player. And the rest are like Supermen at times WITH GOOD DEFENCE to boot!
