Whilst I agree with the sentiment (Tomkins is currently not in the top tier) no way can I agree with Boyd/Thaiday arguably some others being on that list, and Barba has a lot to do still to be considered a top player. Swap them out for Parker/B.Stewart/the other Morris (for his position, not all-round play) and I wouldn't argue.

Sam Tomkins is probably, based on form, equal No 6 full back in the NRL, out of 16:



1. Inglis

2. Slater

3. Hayne

4. Stewart

5. Dugan

6. Milford

6. Tomkins

6, Tedesco

6. Mead

10. Moylan

10. Barba

12. Perrett

13, Boyd

14. Morgan

15. Minichiello

16. Gordon

That's not too far out tbh. Slater has been in better form and Barba isn't the threat he was. There's certainly a lot of depth there. The replacements at Wests and Manly have been pretty handy too.

CORRECT...he did it against the 8th placed Tigers too

He did it against the Tigers when they were higher than 8th placed!

indeed......I believe that they were level with Canberra at the time
