Quote: WARRIORCRAIG "Sam simply has to stay at full back, !'"
Why do people insist on this?
Give me a Cronk, Thurston or Marshall over Barba or Slater any day of the week.
World class HB's make the team tick and give the other great players the space to work their magic. Tomkins is a frightening talent from FB but he wouldn't have done half as much over the past two seasons if Tommy didn't do the clever work before the ball got to him. People sometimes forget that or only seem to remember the actual line break. Very few remember the shimmy, dummy or perfect pass that creates the gap for guys like Slater to go through.
Tomkins would be a world class HB much in the mold of a Marshall.
