Last few games (Saints, Cats and Saints again) I've seen him holding his shoulder, arm and doing a fair bit of limping at various stages of a game. It may just be wear an tear of a long season.

Don't know why everyone is so stupid. Sam should be playing at prop

Doesn't look fit to me at present.

As a Saints fan even i can admit Sam is a cracking fullback,he is so dangerous joining the line and offers more in attack from fullback than he would from halfback,its obvious to anyone that has been watching that he isnt 100% but at this time of the season not many players are.The try he scored tonight was class,a great kick and he showed nice awareness and pace to touch down.



The fact is even if he is only 80% fit he offers that x factor that few in the league have.

:cifffvbw



It's not a knee jerk reaction and it is not absolute rubbish. I have been saying he should be playing 6 just about ever since he was switched to full back and giving my reasons.

28.30 he should have scored but if's and buts now we got beat by the better side i dont think Sam should be put back to 6 he's playing near a halfback roll atm

as a Saints fan ST is the real thing - I love watching him play



he is a fine FB and should remain there IMO not only for you lot but England also

if Sam Tomkins was injured or moved to the halves, it would be crazy not to put Matt Russell to fullback. What is the use of having one of the best young players coming through and not using him.

Brilliant fullback, and after a good rest can hopefully show that playing for England

As much I am delighted you got beat last night you don't need to over react like that. As much I dislike (yes it is jealousy) Sam Tomkins he is easily the best fullback if not player in the league. You don't need to worry where he plays you just need to make sure he is on the pitch and he will do his job.



Let's hope he can do it for England in te four nations.

Haha sorry i think a certain mr slater takes that spot and as a out and out fullback id say wello was by far superior last night realy is a credit to saints.

The problem is not Sam. The problem is the fact he is our only strike threat and as such get all the attention from the defence. You add a strike half and centre teams have to watch them as well, not just Sam.
