Whats your expectations for Tompkins

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

For me just to return the footy well and back up the big men in the middle, nothing to outragous just do everything that Locke should of done for the last 3 years consistantly. I think his combo with thomas is going to be huge and id like to think the sweep plays that we employ will benefit him

I understand our Sam is brilliant on attack but can he tackle? It's a given that Locke is a good defender.

 

[Dr Crane]

i expect at some point we'll spell his name right

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

5 tries a game or the equivalent (3 tries, 2 try assists etc)......:sarcasm:

[LeftRightOut]

Goddamit! Tomikins, Tompkins... FFS, TOMKINS!

 

[Izz]

I expect Tonkans to be good. Probably take him a month to get used to the pace and intensity, but he'll be huge for us.

 

[ozbash]

We make the next 3 Grand Finals ?

 

[Blair]

We make the next 3 Grand Finals ?

Yep, all in one season.

U20s, with Lolohea in attack,
Vulcans, with Lowrie leading the pack &
First Grade, with Tomkan at the back.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

15 try minimum each year for Tumikins

 

[spear tackle]

I'm expecting an end to war and world peace to break out.
And for him once he hits his straps in the NRL to play well and hopefully inspire the others in the team to play a full 80 miniutes

 

[MKEB...]

Looking forward to watching Tonka running off Martel, Rapture and Matulinux offloads.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

He is going to rip it up in the NRL, Watch everyone cream themselves

 

[Evil_Mush]

I just hope Tompilstiltskins brings that dreaded C-word Warriors teams fear so much : Custard.


Oh and consistency! In all aspects of his play, his rarking up of people, and his influence on the teams attitude to beating the bejebus out of opposition till.the final whistle!!

 

[Benek]

I expect him to be better than Locke on attack, but worse than Locke on D - at least for the first season. By the time he leaves in 3 years he'll be one of the top fullbacks in the comp.

 

[vvvrulz]

The only question marks I have over Thompson is his defensive reads and how he goes under the high ball. But no point speculating now, he's here and its time to see what he can do!

 

[Dr Crane]

in seriousness, i reckon smith could be really good for us.

the nrl is heading back to benefiting broken field play, he's got the chance to go.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Well the first thing you can expect is that Vatuvei will score 20 tries + easily (if he plays most of the season) thanks to Tomkins.

That would be awesome.

He probably would have got 20+ tries this season if he'd played the full 24 games.

As it was he got 16 from 19 games. There's not many better sights in rugby league than Manu in space.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

As it was he got 16 from 19 games. There's not many better sights in rugby league than Manu in space.

And did all of his usual work bringing the ball out of our end....and apparently had a mediocre season according to many *shrug*
