Quote: hull2524 "I come in peace, I think one of the reasons he gets stick imo is that he didn't set aussies alight due to whatever reasons and tbf he hasn't set the world alight this year, before he went to aussie he was a shoe in and rightly so, since then imo he isn't the best fullback in super league, next year he might be but at present he isn't and rightly or wrongly people just get fed up of him being talked about all the time, this isn't a dig its just my opinion'"
I don't disagree, and yes, there probably are full-backs in SL looking better on current form, Shaul obviously springs to mind.
Putting yourself in Bennett's shoes, though, it would be a bold move to put an untested international rookie in at full-back, of all positions, against the big Aussie and Kiwi packs. Sam Tomkins may not set the season alight, but he has the international experience, and he has faced these guys week in, week out in the NRL.
