L Mossop - was a shadow of the 2010/11 player before he left. He's now a shadow of a shadow of the player he was.
Doubt we'll see Sam Tomkins of 2012 and 2013 ever again.
There's a lesson there - don't go for the easy option and certainly never go back, it's never the same as it was originally.
I think that is a bit harsh as all 3 are either carrying injuries or returning from long term injuries.
Joel is clearly playing busted and I do agree his form has not been great, Mossop for me after recovering from his injury problems is playing well. He is still a bit hit and miss but he seems to be finding consistency lately and confidence.
Sam was never going to continue playing like he did when he first hit the scene. I think he however has returned to first team action this year as good as you could have hoped for.
I don't expect to see him tearing through defences however I think his impact will still be as great just in a different way.
If anyone wants to pm me regarding the rumours I would be grateful, feel like I'm being left out!
