If he keeps progressing, no reason why Cooper can't.

Mossop is definitely one for the future. He's already a monster and still only 20 years of age.

Like Peacock & Morley I'm sure he will move up to the front row in a few years.

Graham and Burgess will be the mainstays, like Morley and Peacock have. I think Crabtree may have played his way into becoming a regular too.

Louis Mccarthy Scarsbrook looks big enough to develop into a quality prop, he certainly has a great pair of ball playing hands and pace. The last time he played for England he looked impressive, he`s always improving the more you see him. He looks to be going the Jamie Peacock route, a quality 2nd rower that looks just as comfortable at prop.

As for Sam Tomkins, he will improve a lot more when he doesn`t have to play 2nd fiddle to the likes of Thomas Leuluai at club level and Kevin Sinfield at international level, the more game time he has as an organiser and a 1st reciever then the more i think he`ll improve.

Wigan need a decent coach to bring the likes of Tomkins along and develop him as a better all round team player, he`s certainly an exciting prospect just like Eastmond with ball in hand, he just needs that raw youth coaching out of him which will help him mature as a player.

I think there's a few forwards kicking around that if they progress look to have decent futures.

I was surprised that Luke Burgess didn't make this squad to be honest, add to him LMS, Cooper, Prescott, Adamson, Harrison, Lunt, J.Tomkins and a few others, I think the future of the pack looks safe.

ok

Hate to say this but there was a HUGE mitake in selections under smith.

MYLER - Not ready/ little experience.

TOMKINS - paper thin (just look at ausies 6 and 7), tackled with ball too often, terrible kicking to hands of slater.

BRIDGE - Absolutely ludicrous.

to start.

6 and 7 were major failings in the team. Eastmond for me shows more than TOMKINS.

It should have been dare i say it.

BROUGH - He is an awesome place/goal kicker and slater would have been made to work, Has plenty experience, good defender and takes on the line well. About the best british hb re: goldthorpe last 2 years.


PRYCE - would be an ideal partner for brough and has more presence on the filed.

ATKINS - shame he was injured.

If it was on form Brough awould have been in and MYLER and BRIDGE nowhere near.

poor

If we had more young players of Tomkins' quality, the future of English Rugby League would look a lot brighter than it currently does.

Until John Kear is the next England boss you can only wish.

goes missing against when it matters...do you want to borrow the cc semi..or saints semi play off..or even last nights game...nuff said

Probably why Tim Sheens rates him. If only he'd checked with you first, eh?
