To write off Tomkins would be silly imo. He's shown in flashes he's got alot of talent but he needs to cut out some silly errors from his game. He just seems to have alot of brain farts like the 2 in the play offs against Cas and then Saints where he tried to take the last defender on the outside with about 3 inches worth of pitch to play in.

On the positive side of you saying Mossop was better then Tomkins late on in the year i'd like to think thats because he did so well. He is a huge lad and just gets through big metres and plenty of tackling. The league game away at Knowsley Rd was his best preformence imo and really got everyones mouth watering as to how good he could be.

Joel is a good player. He can be brilliant but can also be quite daft.
If he matures and ups his game awareness he could be far better than he is now. He has size on his side.
There is a lot of competition for places in the back row and Joel should be right there.
If he attains consistancy both within a game as well as game to game then he could be one of the best in the League.

100% Agree, probs a bit harsh of me to say he was crap but still, we all mu st agree he needs to show improvement for next year

Old news I know but...

Reports that Mr Colcquit(?) has come out saying that James Graham will not be leaving Saints as he is contracted to the club...blah, blah, blah!

Does make you wonder if the Chief Exec doth protest too much?!

Wouldn't be suprised if he moved on, would be even less suprised if IL didn't splash the cash should he become available
