I remember the talk of the old 45 punch from Barry back in the day . That right hand from Parker (the 'skip punch' one) reminds me how Joe Louis used to throw a short right actually. I think it's cool how all these people flipped out about a fantom punch and a dive , Cassius Clay was too fast for the punters too. Little did they know it was a skip punch lol.
As for Tomkins I think he's a decent player , not million bucks a season decent though. Hes just not A dynamic Runner , RTS is a different kettle of fish he's explosive.
I find it hard to bag Manu , sometimes when you are on the wing and they have the numbers on you your only chance is to rush in and put a spot tackle on the guy receiving the pass . Pull it off and you kill the move , mistime it and you look like an idiot. Stay on your wing and they get through anyway.
But you are right the guys on the edge like Hoff have to defend as a group, one of the reasons Hoffs such a good player.
Even when the Warriors aren't getting all the results I take solace in them being the Kiwi development xiii
Young players constantly being bought through , some will rise to the elite eg, Shaun Johnson . The Kiwis kick butt.
LeuLeuai I think is a solid hooker but I hope he never plays halfback again , Lolohea is a great prospect and it looks as though they will groom him for the job
Next year should be a great side
Did sky tv hit Fai with one of those skip punches?
