Not rocket science.'"
The same second rate Carmont who ripped open the St George defence and raced 65 yards to score?! If that's second rate then second rate is good enough for me. |

| Quote: giwildgo "Sam can only beat what is in front of him. Put him in any NRL side, give him a few seasons to adapt and barring injury he'd be a match for any current Aussie player. No disrespect to the names mentioned, but he's the type of instinctive natural talent that only comes around every 10 -15 years - I think its legimate to compare him with Slater when both were at the same stage of their careers (rather than like for like at present), given the additional potential Tomkins has. I just don't buy into this "because they are Aussie and in the NRL they are automatically better", its the same old British inferiority complex that has hampered us for years. We have and have had World Class players over the last twenty years, just not enough to fill a competitive international team.'"
I have no doubt tomkin will be one of the best players in the world for a long time. but I think a bit more of an open minded realistic view is needed. |

Is me saying Tomkins isn't as good as Slater translate in your mind to me saying his second rate, is this is why you're so upset.

Why has this muppet been allowed to turn a thread about the try of the season by the best player in SL into a debate about whether he's better than Billy Slater.

15th October 1989 - the beginning of a love affair.
Wigan RLFC for life.

I'd say I am open minded, I'm not denying the quality of the top Aussie players and the greater depth of those players that play in the NRL. However the talent is spread throughout the league and is not uniformly brilliant by any stretch. On a consistent match by match basis the NRL is more intense than SL, but the concentration of quality player in the Wigan and Warrington teams is at least equal to 75% of the NRL sides. If Tomkins can rip it up again ex Internationals, ex SoO players and squad fillers in the Warrington side, he could undoubtedly do the same against average NRL sides with the odd International, SoO rep and abundant squad fillers. |
