Take a bow.



I hate the little ginger Wigoon scro$e with a passion but he was outstanding today. With McGuire withering like a sunflower in autumn he stood up and was superb. I loved it when he squared up to Hodges, giving away about 3 feet and 150lbs but he'd have still given him a go.

Tomkins played ell in the second half when we were on top but did nothing in the first half, halfbacks can only play when the forwards are fronting up.

WEll, once the second half started he was good...but then so were the rest of the backs.

McGuire wasn't.

No he wasnt Mcguire had a shocker, he wont be the first and last English halfback to do that neither.

When he started to get some ball he looked very dangerous. Eastmond had a good go too but McGuire was poor.

Well I'm glad a couple of side steps and a fantastic effort from Gareth Ellis against an Aussie side in the 2nd half who quite clearly weren't interested has brought such a response. Shame that when it mattered in the first half Tomkins was getting dragged around the field like a rag doll









Poor lad has the weight of expectation on him now. I think I can predict how this one will end!

No half back can play to his full potential behind a beaten pack - even Aussies. Give the ginger one enough time and games, and then judge him.

His clever kicks in the second half were a vast improvement on the pointless kicking in the first half.

Unfortunately, Maguires performance didn't improve and he should be replaced by Eastmond or Myler.

Tomkins was fantastic in the second half. Glad he got the nod over that overated nobody at Warrington

He's not even ginger

Agreed. I like Tomkins' style. For me the most talented young half-back to come out of the English game since Bobby Goulding. Hopefully he won't have the same self-destructive tendencies.

Tomkins didn't get one decent pass in the first half and when he started to get some ball he showed what he's made of in attack. His defence was exceptional in both halfs which comes as no suprise as he's been like that all year.



He's the sort of player that you hate when he's playing against you because as people always say he's a niggling little git and annoying but when he's on your side you can't help but love his passion. He wants to win any game as much as any supporter and he really puts his all in. He'll take anyone on and won't back down.



He'll be better for the run out next week aswell.
