Just he should be finding his form and fitness in the reserves rather than in a first team fixture - unless Wane is now treating all the remaining games as nothing more than warm ups for the play-offs (so making actually going to them meaningless)

This bloke is an utter idiot who talks more sh7te than a coach load of saints speccies. This bloke even tipped Salford for the Grand Final so proves what he knowsAccording to Phil Clarke
Face the fact (and this was admitted by the club at the time of his signing), he (Tomkins) was returning from back surgery, this also on top of a knee injury picked up last November. Any claims for him to have been "ultra fit" or otherwise are just exactly what they are - what Clarke likes to spout

I've faced some facts and they are that the Lad Tomkins looks damn fit to me. GB and wigan legend Phil Clarke is obviously a moron.butt monkey wrote:You answered your own post withWelski wrote:Woefully unfit?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Re: Tomkins in 19 Man Squad
Ah yes the ever impartial Phil Clarke, is Andy Clarke still Joel Tomkins' agent? because it wouldn't be like Phil to big up one of his brothers players would it....Welski wrote:I've faced some facts and they are that the Lad Tomkins looks damn fit to me.
