Simple fact is that there's only one true top quality FB in SL and that's Tomkins.



There's a not bad bunch, consisting of Wellens, Hodgson, McDonnell, Kearney.



There's a young, talented bunch with potential, the likes of Escare, Ratchford, Hardaker.



The rest are rubbish or not even really full backs.

Brett Hodgson.



He's utter dog s*** that bloke. How he won Man of Steel is beyond me and he's the Exiles captain too. Deary me today. Why isn't Shannon McDonnell not in the squad? He would be a better choice. Why isn't Rhys Hanbury captain? After all, he is much better than Hodgson.



Dear, oh dear......

Jamie Foster has to be the worst. Cant tackle at all.

Anyone who saw Morgan Escare play yesterday will agree that he is one of the top 5 full backs in Super League.



It doesn't matter how many games he has played, because he has been consistently outstanding in every game.



Morgan Escare has class written all over him.

so much for tomkins cant catch a high ball.

Hardaker was the better of the 2 full backs tonight IMO.

Surprised at the MOTM for Tomkins tonight - he was seriously quiet by his standards!

i really like hardaker a lot and would love him at wigan but i don't think he played better than sam, both were good.

You missed Eden off that list.

I sincerely hope that this is an attempt at Sally Cinnamon-like irony. Although Hodgson no longer has the raw pace he had five years ago, he is still a very fine player indeed. If you can't see what he contributes to the Wire ( and therefore why he is justifiably captain of the Exiles ) then it's back to RL training school for you.

Tomkins is the best player in SL, and happens to play at fullback.



However, the best out-and-out full back in Super League is Hardaker. Not only does he attack incredibly well, but he pulls of the defensive side of the position incredibly. Tomkins (like Webb at Leeds) gets carried in defense.

He didn't get much ball as we couldn't seem to get the ball past second receiver all night. The few times we did Tomkins got a try and an assist (and another time Goulding threw a poor ball) - that was pretty much it. Tomkins contributed in other ways too though, especially his kicking game on that occasion, was very mature and intelligent.



Good to see Hardaker shook off last week's nightmare too though, had one or two attacking moments well. But that game was pretty much a neutralisation of pretty much every player, bar a few glimpses from Watkins, Farrell and the full backs.
