Quote ="Freddie Miller."I watched him play every game too. He had a reasonable first season in a so so team but began the next with a seeming lack of interest and intensity which increased as the season progressed. I was so disappointed when he left the NRL as he had arrived with such super star status.
Since I arrived here back in 1968 I have always looked forward to watching players from the English game game compete over here. I would rank Sam Tomkin's time here as my biggest ever disappointment.'"
No wonder it increased as the season went on, he only played 13 games.
I’m not saying his time was a raving success, it clearly wasn’t but a lot of that was down to injury and that’s a real shame. He started to suffer knee problems in 2013 and I’m sure he’s not been totally right since. He’s lost the vast majority of his pace nowadays and had to reinvent himself. Had he gone to the NRL a couple of years earlier I think it would’ve been a totally different story and we’d have seen him have two very good years rather than one good year and one ruined by injury.
