He is still credited to Huddersfield in the official team sheet. Are you sure that his SL loan contract with the Giants expired?

In what sense? I mean I'm sure his registration card is in the back office somewhere, but he's on loan at Huddersfield, and didn't he spend the whole of 2008 season on loan at Castleford?



He last "played" (on the bench) for Saints on 17th August 2007. Would they even know what he fookin looks like at Knowsley Rd?







Didn't I read somewhere that Warrington is his next stop?

Jesus, don't they have enough halves and hookers as it is?



Briers, Monaghan, Clarke, Higham, Myler & Grix aswell as the likes of Bridge, Solomona, Mathers & Vinnie Anderson who have played there in the past.

I don't think Tomkins or Myler are ready for this level yet.



Problem we have is really good ones don't come along that often and when someone with a hint of talent - Tomkins, Myler now, Westerman last year - we kill their career by piling it all on them far too young. What's wrong with a burrows/mcguire combo at half back?

Yeah I was a little suprised that Burrow has been completely omitted from the squad. A player like that can always pull something from nothing and swing games in our favour.



But at the same time, after the disaster at the World Cup I can't really blame TS for mixing things up. If we'd gone into the Four Nations with a near identical squad to that of the WC then people would still be slating Tony on here, so I doubt he could please everyone either way.



I don't think it will do their careers any harm playing for England this early. It's still a good experience for them which they can only benefit from, regardless of the outcome.

I have no problem with him starting Myler rather then Tomkins, surley if anything Tomkins has been droped at the expense of McGuire who has had a great season and is a better SO IMO. Granted he didnt have the best of games last week, hopefully he used this game to dust off some of the cobwebs from not playing in while, but i would still rather go into a game with a specialist SH and a SO rather than a SO playing at SH

Tomkins is actually a Scrum Half anyway that's being played at 6 for Wigan.

How do you work that out, he always played stand-off for the reserves, and before that at Wigan Saint Pats.

Going by the comments of the Wigan fans that watched him in the reserves. And one of them that commented on this very forum when he first broke into the team, saying he's actually a 7.



And for your consideration, [url=http://www.wiganrl.com/history_full.asp?fixtureid=531his Wigan first team debut[/url.

But if he's played 99% of his games at 6 then at most he might be a wannabee 7, I could have played that same game as 7 for Wigan but it wouldn't make me no scrum-half, trust me!!

Generally doesn't matter which player is 6 & 7 as they are pretty interchangable these days, and many teams will play with a left half and a right half, but their role is the same

Again, the comment was mainly based on Wigan fans' previous comments. I won't argue the point with you as I know even if there was incredible evidence, you wouldn't concede, but Wigan fans definitely commented on here stating he was actually a scrum half playing at 6. I'm more inclined to believe them.
