Sam Tomkins

i was at the game today…tomkins looks a real good player. always looked dangerous. he plays a bit like moltzen, however seems to put his body on the line a bit more. i suppose it was an international so maybe timmy would do the same given the chance...
 
Tomkins is a freak and will become one of the greatest players England have produced, only problem is the Rugby Union are desperate to get him.

Tomkins will want a lot of dough to come out here and I can't see us having enough dough spare to make a serious bid

Reckon the Bunnies will be the ones to snare him if he comes out

But he would be a handy acquisition to our club if by some miracle he ended up at the Tigers

And Josh Dugan wouldnt want a lot of dough?
You pay peanuts you get monkeys.
Sam Tonkins would be a sensational buy for Wests if they could pull it off.I seen glimpses of a young Bretty Hodgson,and boy he has some pace to burn.

I'd like to see his defense first, from memory the Welsh didnt bother him too much last week.

Seems to be a great support player….any ball playing ability?

Heighnos try showed some ball playing abilty.

I am prepared to wait for the future and the future is James Tedesco

he is a myth

he will go missing against Australia

One of England's best last night and hardly went missing in setting up 2 tries. He'd handle NRL as easily as Hodgo did.

And how would you like your humble pie served?

Haha that really was a silly comment from OM….

The kid is a freak and would be a sensation over here as would be Ryan Hall. Both caused our defense many headaches. Definite future superstar.
 
Tomkins is a million times the player Hodgson is/was, infact he will eventually go down as one of the best players England have produced if he stays in RL. English RU have already signed his brother and they are prepared to make Sam the highest paid player in history.

Well if RU in England want to make him the highest paid player in history no team in the NRL are a chance of signing him up Unless he is wanting to challenge himself of course in the best rugby league comp in the world

The talent no doubt is there, but Ive yet to see in Tomkins the heart & guts Hodgo regularly displayed….it will take a super player to replicate that
 
Hard to argue there Ink, Hodgo was tougher than a coffin nail. I think some need to wait until Tomkins has had the longevity that Hodgo has before comparing them.

Anyone doubting Tomkins ability is kidding themself.

Alot of NRL fans reckon that everyone outside the NRL is no good, pity cause there is a number of excellent players running around in ESL and union.

The Eclipse probably hasn't seen the Hodgson pre knee injury and in his prime Ink

But to give you the drum Eclipse Hodgo played Origin and before the knee injury had electric speed of the mark and played like Gareth Ellis in a 70 odd Kg body One of the gutsier footy players I have seen (And a great bloke to boot)
 
Most of us on here are very biased towards Hodgo (self included), elipse prob in line with most non WT fans I'd say.
Hodgo forever will be one of my fav's, gees he was good for us.
 
Hodgo's first Origin series was some of the gutsiest footy I've ever seen. Its just a shame it will be remembered for Tallis' throw over the sideline, because he was by far the best player of the series, although I think Joey got that award.
