Quote: Moe syslak "Tomkins is quality, but there is no hate campaign, just fans of other clubs who don't like class players who are a bit annoying (see - briers, goulding, bishop, offiah etc). However, as a neutral wire fan i would have to say that roby is currently the best player in SL.'"


Tomkins is far superior to Roby. In fact, I would not mind Sam moving to the NRL to try his hand at the premier RL comp in the world.

'I've done things i'm not proud of. And the things i am proud of,.......well they're disgusting':44022.jpg



Nobody is denying tomkins' ability, it is all about opinions. But to say any player in SL is FAR superior to roby is just not right. If you picked a SL dream team they would both be in it, but the most important position these days is the hooker and roby is just different class at what he does.

Sam Tomkins must be one hell of a player if he's far superior!

Just check the stats between them. Someone is far superior than the other but I think you've got it wrong way round.

Just check stats mate.

Hooker as opposed to halfback? I do not think so. Look over the past 10 years and see who the world's best players have been. They have been half backs or hookers, with the clear edge going for halves.

As good as Tomkins is, i dont think he would really make it in Australia. I know im proberly going to get my head chewed off but it's my honest opinion. Infact i think its safe to say i doubt ANY British back could make it in the NRL.

Stats mean very little in the final assessment.

Given the right team and enough time, I think Tomkins would flourish. He is not going to be an Andrew Johns or Lockyer type talent, but a solid and impressive back nonetheless.

Robes stats are just unreal.

Last year Richie Myler and Kyle Eastmond had better 'stats' than Tomkins. I think that tells you all you need to know. And btw, i do agree Roby atm, is the best player in the league.

i'm not sure how you could really compare them, they are both fantastic players in different positions.

Comparing stats of two players who play in different positions is meaningless.

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ? Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ? When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx] [color=#FF0000:qtnftxzx][list:qtnftxzx]Gotta' love 'em.[/list:u:qtnftxzx][/color:qtnftxzx] [color=#FF0000:qtnftxzx]"You can shove yer f****** England up yer a***"[/color:qtnftxzx]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_51917.jpg



Tbh, I don't think sam should be MOS. For me, (bearing he keeps his form up) it should be Hodgson with out a doubt. He has been just like pat was last year, if not better, and would be a worthy winner.

P.s, this is just my opinion.
