I was (and still am) generally skeptical that Tomkins can replicate his Super League from into the NRL. Its his defence that worries me, defusing bombs and reading attacking plays for cover defence. But he's shown in the early days he gets involved on attack and has potential as a playmaker.
There is a good chance he'll end up as 'consistently good but not a superstar', and as a Warriors fan I'll take that.
But I'm not in your camp, because with you its obvious you've just picked a guy to hate and will keep spewing out this BS about him every week.
He won't replicate his ESL form, not a chance. It's unrealistic to expect him to replicate that playing in a defensively tougher league week in and week out.
Like I said after the Eels game, if he can consistently come up with two try assists a game I won't be complaining. It's more than Locke can produce.
Just need other guys to produce alongside him and we'll be fine.
Defensively we fell apart on the edges, our middle held its own for the most part.
No idea what the answer is though, our edges always look frail. Ropati might not be the greatest defender, but there's no way he could be as bad as Tuimavavae was on the weekend.
Expecting this to be a 30-24 scoreline in either direction, I don't think anyone here can be too confident in their teams defensive capabilities.
