Tomkins is a very good player with a bright future ahead of him but think he's got a long way to go before you can compare him to someone like Danny Mcguire. Mcguire has proved it over a long period of time and has won massive games for Leeds with flashes of brilliance In every season he has played,



Tomkins will need to do it over a longer period before you will have a serious argument, I think he will but who knows what might happen in the coming seasons, yes he has talent and looks good but has to stand the test of time before he can be mentioned in the same breath.

Oh dear, try reading what I wrote.



I did not say you made reference to either player's ability.



I was accused by another poster of making a fatuous comparison. I didn't make the comparison initially - you did. I merely pointed out, the comparison having been made in terms of both players being highly thought of by their fans, that Sam Tomkins is the better player.

Well, in that case I appologise. It read to me as if you were saying i'd made the initial comparison of their abilities.



It's nice to see, though, that you accept the initial comparison of their abilities was made by yourself.

Why wouldn't I accept that?



You made the point that you thought they were equally highly rated by their respective fans.



I made the point that Tomkins is a better player.



I guess the conclusion to be drawn is that Wigan fans have higher standards!

You didn't accept that point earlier.





Still, as you're only interested in an "Our full-back is better than your Stand-off" argument, I'll leave you to it.

No, the point I didn't accept was that I hadn't made the comparison between the players in the first place - you did.
