Totally agree, personally thought he brought structure to the Warriors that let Johnson concentrate on his off the cuff game, they might have what they want on the face of it with RTS but they need a Tomkins more. As as been said some of his tip offs to bring centres/wingers into the game were superb. Hate the fact fans of other clubs say he was a failure. If he'd have gone over without a transfer fee everyone would be signing a different tune. He is and always will be better than Hardaker (who as a defensive fullback is top notch) but I would like to see him move back to 6 as he now looks to be trying to organise the team round the park

I agree with quite alot of what you say here.
Sadly fans and alike will judge you on your most recent form in Tomkins respect his time in the NRL which was not great at the end even though he was injured.
The same can be said for Hardaker who had a great season winning MOS .
But compared to this year many are saying he is crap without truly knowing what is going on in his personal life.
FWIW I think it would be a shame to oust Williams in order to fit Tomkins in the halves.
At FB he offers that piece of unpredictability in attack pretty much like Brent Webb did for Leeds.
And his defence isn`t too bad either.

He had one good year and one ruined by injury.

That doesn't fit the agenda of some people though as you say.

Dont think its other SL fans who have an agenda
He was recently voted the worst ever NRL signing by some mag down under
He was being paid MORE than GI and whilst he may have got good numbers in 2014 he never put in any performances that would have him down as even a top 5 fullback in that league
He was pretty frail under the high ball and did poorly in a lot of one on ones
He played around 12 games in 2015 but only scored one try
If Hardaker did any of that you would be slating him

Hopefully if Zak goes he will be more under the radar
But Im just hoping he doesnt go tbh

Erm... Hardaker has done exactly all of those things this season. In fact 15 games and 1 try, and only 2 assists. Tomkins has already scored 2 tries and 2 assists in 3 and a half games

In fairness as a Leeds fan he's in a fantastic position to be able to judge what 'no good' is
