Given the length of his layoff, his chances of a stellar performance are virtually nil.

There's no way Sam'll win over that set of phoneys, so his future England caps can't possibly be dependent on the opinions of a few Leeds fans. That said, he can't be fit and should probably not be risked on this occasion.

My personal opinion is that Sam should have played last Saturday to prove his fitness, he didn't and as such Hardaker should start this Sunday, but I respect the coaches decision to pick HIS team. He's the one who will stand or fall on his decisions.

For me Sam doesn't play unless Hardaker or someone in the halves has a shocker (I would be reluctant to play him at 6 though).

Regardless of how well Tomkins did/didn't play this year, I wouldn't be putting any player straight into the first test who hasn't played for months.

If they are both match fit then Sam plays. He cannot be match fit following his lengthy lay off so I think Hardaker should play.
