That is the issue.

He doesnt play as a second receiver.

He plays down the right and tommy down the left. We play a structured approach based on 2 scrum halves. This is all wrong in my opinion and we need timmy at 7 with a second receiver at 6

This problem should have been sorted close season, we need a 6, Tomkins may get a chance, I hope he succeeds, but it's a lot of pressure on him.

Theres no pressure. Anybody with half a brain cell has to realise than in order to develop he needs to get some minutes on the pitch...

The pressure on Tomkins will be in a year or two when he hopefully will be playing week in week out. Right now he just needs time on the pitch.

I dont disagree re development and time on the pitch, but given the mentality of alot of our fans, if when he comes in and doesnt tear it up straight away, he will cop flack and be boo'd etc like the rest.

The constant links to Edwards and people demanding he is given his go to "save us" is pressure imo and totally ott.
