| Quote Mike Oxlong="Mike Oxlong"World class? Slater is world class, Tomkins is nowhere near!
He's cack under the high ball, not as solid/reliable in defence as Wellens and Radlinski used to be, doesn't make as many clean breaks as people think he does or should, mouths off and whinges at the ref all game.
The only thing he has that you would say he is good at is he is a good runner in broken play - but only done that in SL against some mediocre defences. In the international game, he's just not doing it cos he's not good enough.
Don't get me wrong, he's better than anything else England have, but if he's the best then it really does prove how far away we are in the talent pool to Aus and NZ.'"
Exactly my point, well said, now lets see how he performs next year, if he does well in the NRL I will eat my words and congratulate him, but in the meantime, let's all get a life! |

2nd in the English team for clean breaks, 2nd for metres made, most try assists, 1 missed tackle, second for tackle busts.
Looks o.k to me.
He'll do well in the NRL. |

3rd for clean breaks - 13th overall in the whole comp.
9th overall for metres made
2nd overall for try assists
10th overall for tackle busts ( even a welshman is above him! )
6th overall in errors made ( and how many players in the entire tournament?? )
So, for the most expensive player in the world, not great stats I don't think. Not exactly set the WC on fire has he!! |

Why are you bringing Briers into it? We're talking about Tomkins. |

| Let's rave about how good he is on Saturday once he's beaten NZ on his own! Whilst he's some player within the world of Super League the true test will be when he plays in the NRL against quality opposition week in week out. Credit to him he's put his hand up to go so he must back himself.
Shame he was sinbinned for the last 7 or so minutes at the DW on his last game there  |
