Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2571655, member: 1827"] I've always had a theory that it is a lot easier for ESL forwards to adapt to the NRL than backs, because the ESL is a lot more one-out and forward orientated type of game. Less reliance is placed upon skill from the playmaking halves and fullbacks. My theory could well be wrong as I am not Rugby League genius but it came about by the likes of Burgess(s), Ellis, Graham etc coming over here and performing well, whereas ESL stars like Danny McGuire don't entertain the thought. Apart from Widdop but he didn't play ESL before coming to the Storm IIRC. Which is why I think it will take Tomkins at least a year to really hit his straps. He won't be helped by the fact that Johnson is so ridiculously inconsistent. I think when all's said and done he will be very good though. [/QUOTE]
