I can't see Tommy as more than filling in as a hooker for any team.

NZ had the squad set with the players already picked, he didn't work in halves and they needed someone to play 30-40mins at hooker to settle things down before the little skillful diver came out to tear them up.

Lets see him have a good go at 6 next season then judge him further. That might just be his position.
in the world of mules, there are no rules

Hope not. If 6 is his position then we have a young overseas player blocking S Tomkins path to the team.

Are you having a laugh, the world cup has shown us that he is crap. He couldnt direct the New Zealand team around the park at scrum half so whats the chance of him doing any better for us next season, lets cut our losses and off load him now!

What about Lockers for the second hookers role - Piggy will play 60 minutes minimum so only needs one change - is this worth having a second hooker on the bench for a short spell and waste a sub.
We could then go with Four props and two second/back rowers - bailey can cover the centres for injuries.
Lockers could cover at hooker - he has some pace round the ruck, hopefully can pass a ball and maybe kick.
This was you could fit Tomkins, Hock, Hansen, Bailey and Lockers into a 17 plus four props

It is just a though?
Providing Piggy can play around 60 mins comfortably that isnt a bad idea really. Can see why people would disagree but could also keep our pack fresher when we are faced with tough scrappy away games.

Would like to see Sam Tomkins used the way Tim Smith was at the end of this season for a few games next season especially against the likes of Salford at home etc
