Quote: sgtwilko "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.'"
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.
