Are you sure?
So many on here seem to think otherwise... |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Tomkins was always the better prospect because of it.'" Eastmonds attitude let him down |

Wellens 3/10 Like public transport. Late, slow and stunk

| Quote: FearTheVee "At the beginning of last year, Eastmond was the more impressive player IMO and had the edge on Sam form wise. No point even comparing the current shadow to Tomkins (or indeed himself of 12 months ago) as he's just waiting for a pay cheque at Bath.
Both cracking RL players, just a shame one is distracted and buggering off. Tomkins has been sensational in recent weeks, great to watch, and he's a tough little so and so which couldn't really be credited to Kyle.
Anyone who genuinely thinks Tomkins is anything other than a wonderful talent is just a jealous buffoon.'"

To be fair to him, he's always given Sam Tomkins credit.
The ones who must feel most let down by Eastmond are the Saints fans themselves. He was an undisputed talent, but he had years of professional coaching at Saints and full exposure to what, at the time, was the most professional club culture in the UK. Now that they could really do with him coming through for them, he's off to another sport and displaying attitude en route. That's a pretty poor return for all their trust.

On a serious note, top player.
Hardly surprising that each team backed their young talent to be the best, and slag the others off tho is it? |

Tomkins talent wise cant really be faulted, wonder if the plan is to move him back to 6 at somepoint? According to what I've read Widdop is ripping it up at 6 in the NRL so would be interesting to see who got the nod for england

Absolute rubbish.
Read my posts over the years and I have championed such players as Eastmond, Foster, Clough, Evans and Ward.

The difference is - on the evidence of this thread - Wigan fans have waited until the case has been more or less proved before getting all smug. Codarmysaint and co were, to say the least, jumping the gun.
(I appreciate, by the way, that Codarmysaint was not speaking for all Saints fans).

Not really, it just worked out he has had the bigger impact this year and you are all taking the opportunity to gloat and feel mega smug...
Not actually criticising, we all would have if the three way comparison had worked out our way.
If you think about it tho, the question was (as i recall) who was the best scrum half or stand off (let's say halfback)
In that regard based on this seasons form it is Myler hands down, ( tomkins the better player i agree) |

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?
"unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened
"I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg |
