Tomkins did alright in union from the games/highlights I watched of him, problem was you could see he was frustrated at times and stuff that seemed logical (from a general sport/rugby POV) didn't happen so he sort of looked 'out of position' or lost at times..that was the problem of the sport rather than him.The other thing is that a lot of times his ball handling skills were just never going to be called upon, did some nice passes mind but for me he should have gone to open side flanker so he could work his booty off and be involved more.
He'll do alright coming back to RL but tbh I think those three years are going to effect him more than many think/can undertsand
