Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2626581, member: 1917"] As a kick returner he was dreadful. As a runner, he was good but not excellent. As a defensive fullback he was slightly below average and as a playmaker he was absolutely superb. Don't know the stats on how many Warriors tries were scored on the right edge but Tomkins would have been involved in 80% of them I'd say. His bat on's and decisions in terms of who to pass it to etc. were second only to Hayne as far as fullbacks go. Did he play to his price tag? No, maybe to about 75% of it. But I still don't think the Warriors could have bought anyone for his actual salary that would have benefit them as much. He might go better in the defensive aspects next year, but I still think he's best off being developed as a five-eight. Would involve some bulking up and tackling practice but for mine his speed is over-rated and not really all that big a weapon, especially compared to his playmaking. He makes better decisions as a ball playing than any Warrior, including SJ. [/QUOTE]
