More than a slight touch of wishful thinking in that one IMO.

So when Wigan were trailing St Helens last Friday, with about 2 mins left, Eddie/Stevo say "Wigan should get the ball to Tomkins...." to which I say "What's the point he's no going to do anything...."

Then he grubbers the ball through the line & touches down. Okay it didn't affect the result, but he's at least got the knack of trying something different at times, and made me a little embarassed.

Fourth or Fifth best in the competition? Behind who?

This is Super League not the NRL. I think attendances would be a lot higher if there were more players with Tomkins' ability.

IMO he's just about the best full-back in the league, and has been the best individual player in the competition for the team at the top of the table.

I didn't say that he wasn't a great fullback before, just that he could be even better at stand-off.

Full back is a defensive position first I think, in which case Sam is nowhere. As an attacking full back, he right up there behind Brett Hodgson though.
In open play on his own, remarkable and the best by far.

He can go to RU and name his price for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take the RU corn, can't say I would blame him, either.

He was a Wire fan as a kid. He even said himself on Supermen when interviewing someone who played in the Sheffield CC win over Wigan "I was cheering on Sheffield that day as I was a Warrington fan".

He'll go to the NRL.

I'm suprised Wigan Fans havent been laughing at the poor Quality of this list of fullbacks......!!! 3.85498046875:5
