Ok, I know it was Sam Tomkins,and i do think he his a good player,,(think he has been praised up way too much after last week)but did anyone of you catch Phil Clarkes opinion of Lockyers bomb....Really,was it uncatchable?? or was it because of Tomkins being nowhere near it?....Not saying for a moment that it ended up influencing the result but sometimes Clarkey,C*Mon mate....

Load of crap. He's dodgy under the bomb as proven tonight.

Looked absolutely scared of catching every ball that went up in the air. Not good against the 2nd best side in the world.

Wellens would have caught that ball in his sleep. Phil Clarke is a crap pundit.

Clarke's bias towards Wigan and their players calls into question his credibility as a pundit.

Tomkins has proved week in week out that he is quality under the high ball. That was an amazing bomb which came down at an angle. I was sat in the North stand and I don't think any player would have caught it.



Saying that Tomkins delt with it awfully.

Sorry but any player should at least make an attempt - least then he'll gain credit for doing so.



Every other occasion, however, he looked equally scared of catching it; no surprise given the Aussies wanted it more and chased down everything whilst all our kicks in the air allowed the Aussies to eat a three-course meal before being tackled.

He could have delt with it better. Catching it was near impossible. It came down at an angle.

I was embarressed for the sport of rugby league when i heard clarke come out with that comment.

TF i dont watch sl on sky tv if that is the norn.

what about the high ball he left at the kc last week which could easily have cost england a try, he was saved by the video ref



maybe sam isn't the perfect player after all??

Not a fullback thats why he didn't catch those balls, he only ended back there because if is so weak in the tackle that you cant have him in the defensive line



Widdop should have taken his place once it was obvious every bomb was a potential disaster

Don't think anybody is claiming he is the prefect player.
