Quote ThePrinter="ThePrinter"True, however with regards to Tomkins you have to wonder if he can really produce on the international stage.
The reasons given for his struggles in the NRL.....the defences are better and they're other good players in the team which mean it can't all be the Sam Tomkins show in attack like it was at Wigan.....those things transport to the International game too. His strengths therefore are much tougher to replicate International level whereas Hardaker's strengths will be vital.'"
i believe he can. There's no doubt he oozes class, he just needs some confidence now. So this series may have come too soon anyway. Plus I've been calling him a 6 for years, I only thought he'd be a short term 1 at Wigan really.
Hardaker is always England number 1 for me. If they can structure the team to not be about the Tomkins show but give him a more quality over quantity approach it may help.
