20s didn't miss him...

I rate the kid and don't feel he should be judged on tonight. David Hodgson had a very poor game vs Latus but would be a shoe-in at most teams. The surface didn't help anyone tonight.

Ok welcome to superleague mr sheriff.
Hope he gets the nod for the rest of the season now its done and dusted and told go out and play. To drop him now would be a bomb for his confidence. Regardless wether we bring in a fullback next season lets give the lad his head.

After the game, saw Briscoe & Clinton, Joels shoulder is'nt responding to treatment so he's having an op on it next week, so i guess that's his season over.

Simple as not big enough we need to sign a full back for next season

I'm glad you didn't oversee the development of Burrows/Tomkins/Hohaiai.

He's right, he's physically not big enough yet. There is more to size than height.

size doesnt make you or stop you knocking on does it? 2 bad errors from the kid, but as i said earlier he was on his own out there, he should have had better protection under the high ball, the try Cudjoe scored when he beat Fox to the high ball, Welham just stood where he was and watched, he should have been in front of Cudjoes run, i think its called blocking a player, other teams do it.

Yes, sorry, I forgot how ripped Tomkin's is. A good off-season for the lad and he can build up to acceptable SL level IMO. ATEOTD, if rumours are true, no decent overseas players will touch you with a barge pole and there isn't an abundance of English FBs out there.. maybe Phelps will sign for you?

First time iv seen him play, and im not naive enough to base my opinions on the lad on one game BUT it was disappointing to see him struggle. Still, at 18 hes got time to develop and i hope he keeps improving because hes obviously got talent or he wouldnt be where he is now

He will have to be handled carefully for the next week or so & encouraged to play normaly.If he trys to go out & try to make up for last night he could end up being embarassed. He has to be given a few games to prove to himself & the rest that he is good enough. I think his attacking play & handling is OK the rest is confidence & game time.

Like you shouldnt build up youngsters to be world beaters after a good game or two you also should not write them off after a poor display.
He will learn from the experiance.
Hull have the same situation with Reece Lynn.

Tomkins gets away with it by being behind an outstanding defence and also being possibly the most talented British player in a generation.

Rumours rumours!!, its up to you if you want to believe them but the facts are a litle different, you and some of your black and white compatriots like to think you know whats going on in the big Rugby world but in reality you know jack sh....t.

If he could just marshal your defence,he could be a star.
