Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2576392, member: 2115"] I can't see how you guys just dismiss his line breaking ability as 'lazy defence'. Pure speed is a huge weapon in the NRL and can get through even the best defences. How many tries has Milford scored in the last 12 months were it was pretty much 100% down to his speed and acceleration? Barba did it week in week out in 2012, just beat his man with his speed. Tomkins is quick, and while he won't get 150 tries in 150 games in the NRL (if he plays that many) I can easily see him being a prominent try scorer and line breaker. It's funny seeing the different treatment Tomkins is already getting than a player like Gillett gets. Gillett stinks the stadium up week in week out for 18 months, but the second anyone mentions that maybe hes not gonna be much better than he is they get met with all sorts of names. Tomkins is the most lethal try scoring player in history of probably the NRL, ARL, NSWRL and ESL, moves country, plays 4 games with the most inconsistent team in the history of the NRL, scores a couple of tries, sets a few more up, and people are going straight to "he'll never be any better than he is right now". He's also only 25, hes probably got his best years ahead of him. [/QUOTE]
