Tomkins Bros.. and Bailey : Sun Sep 19, 2010 6:01 pm  

So many seem to think the precocious, irksome Tomkins junior is the new messiah at FB......and on attacking ability he offers much. However, I bet Bailey wishes this lad had been the FB at Wembley.

The fact that Donald could walk over him (never mind Eastwood) makes me despair for his chances of stopping the Aussie juggarnaut down under. Give me a good defensive FB anytime with a modicum of good attacking ability... as opposed to this contrary pathetic, weak last obstacle option.

Leeds should have forwards running at him at every opportunity and swatting the petulant gnat aside this coming Saturday.

As for Tomkins senior, just let Bailey do his usual job for the inevitable jejune-lack-of-composure-kicking-out notoriety (God help us again down under).

Surely the Wigan thug won't get away with it for a third time.....and his little Wigan sibling cheat won't be excused again for his pinning-the-arms-lack-of-good-sportsmanship either ?? The gods of rugby are at large according to one prominent journalist.....watch this space.

Another Leeds v Saints final methinks.

Assuming he's playing full back the forwards will probably be thinking 'chance would be a fine thing.'

To be fair, although Deacon has a better kicking game, I'd be happy to see Tomkins start at FB. His kick returns are nothing special and he isn't big enough to stop most players going straight over the top of him.

Don't mistake this for having a pop at Tomkins; if I were coaching Wigan I'd have him at 6 and get the ball to him as much as possible.

He's an exciting young player and one of our best hopes of beating the Auusies.

But Billy Slater full back extraordinaire he is not.
