Quote Smalls="Smalls"The best back in Super League and only 21, improving every year. He was vital in this years grand final. He rarely makes a mistake and he still isn't the finished article. The most hyped player in the country and rightly so.
Your comments are embarrassing.'"
We can differ on opinions on how many mistakes he makes.
You have proven the point. He isn't the finished article. He is young and makes mistakes.
Wire would have to break the bank to afford him and offer a good contract to tempt him. For three years or so we would have sunk too much money into him for little reward.
He is hyped but mostly by Wiganers. He could easily become the greatest player to pick up a ball and make Billy slater look average but then again he might not.
No matter you opinion on why he was terrible in Australia. Would you like to see that sort of performance week in and out for Wigan or imagine if he lost some potential. Losing potential is common. Just look at westerman, he was proclaimed as the best of british a couple of years ago and now he seems to have thrown it away somewhat.
The point being at the moment Tomkins wouldn'y inspire me with confidence because he is inexperienced and prone to mistakes. You can just accept that as my opinion but i really don't think Warrington should give up the oppurtunity for a great NRL replacement for briers on a risk in the form of Sam.
Again though, Good luck to him. Apart from that ball pinning trick he is a thoroughly respectable player. I wish him the best.
If he wanted to come to Wire when his contract was up and had a desire then i would welcome him with open arms. Less risk then.
