| I can't really see him ever being able to succeed in the NRL or trouble the Aussies on the international scene - simply not big enough and players like Inglis etc will run over him.

I don't think his lack of size would necessarily stop him from succeeding in the NRL. Inside_man compared him to Hodgson in build and it certainly didn't hold him back. I think it's more a question of attitude from Sam that would be the issue, but playing in Aus would give him the chance to become a much more mature player.

Brent Webb did pretty well in the NRL and for the Kiwis.
Brent Webb:
Height 179 cm (5 ft 10 in)
Weight 79 kg (12 st 6 lb)
Sam Tomkins
Height 178 cm (5 ft 10 in)
Weight 87 kg (13 st 10 lb)
Matty Bowen hasn't had a problem in the NRL with his size
Height 168 cm (5 ft 6 in)
Weight 69 kg (10 st 12 lb)
Neither has Brett Hodgson
Height 175 cm (5 ft 9 in)
Weight 76 kg (12 st 0 lb)

Completely agree. He'd develop more and be playing with better players in the NRL. I think his style of play would suit the NRL alot. His speed, creativity, side-step, toughness etc. Bunnies to keep an eye on him next year with Madge going there and Russel Crowe's millions?

| I was expecting a thread full of words like 'weasle' and 'little rat'. Plesantly suprised. As for Australia i honestly believe he is good enough to be a top player down there but he said he was homesick after 6 weeks of last years 4 nations so he has probably got a bit more growing up to do first.

Its great that we have no history!! Ohh hang on Wembley August 29th Warrington Wolves WIN the Challenge Cup!!!
Yet where were StHelens and Wigan???: |
|
| I dont honestly think anyone has ever doubted his ability, its just his attitude that gets on peoples backs! The kids a class act just needs to pass more as already stated.
As for NRL I think give him another year or two and he could well ne good enough at the minute I have question marks over him as a fullback.

Quite a few. No-one's even mentioned Billy Slater yet. Much smaller than Sam and Brett, but very successful in the NRL. You don't have to be that big. Alan Langer and Peter Sterling weren't exactly giants were they?

Size never seemed to hinder Brett Hodgson.
Think Sam would do well over there.
He may be an annoying little g1t but let's be honest, we'd love for him to be in our team.

| Looks great at SL level, but needs to improve his international reputation come October/November. He didn't exactly shine when he went down under, last year. If he does well, I can see a huge offer being dangled in front of Wigan

| he's an excellent player... and wigans best by quite some distance.
You only had to see how toothless they looked in attack without him against bradford last week.
