I'd probably agree with Tomkins as 8th but not with your other rankings. I'd go with the following:

Hayne
Inglis
Moylan
Stewart
Milford
Slater
Dugan
Tomkins

Dugan's played more centre this season too.

I think those top FB are all pretty close though - I'd add Michael Morgan too on last year's showings.

All in all, I think Tomkins had a decent season and will get better. Thought he did OK in the Samoa match and definitely should stay at FB unless an injury forces out one of the halves and a reshuffle is needed.

...and Darius Boyd would also be a consideration when he overcomes his depression

Well, I'd still take Anthony Minichiello ahead of Tomkins even now.

Dugan only played six times at FB for the Dragons and not at all after May; Milford finished the season at stand-off for the Raders.

I'm surprised you didn't opt for Darius Boyd, Michael Morgan, William Zillman, Michael Gordon and Ben Barba as well !

Minnichiello had a great season. Put him in front of Tomkins too.

I think Tomkins is better than Morgan, Zillman, Gordon and Barba.

Clive Churchills widow looked good at the Grand Final why don't we posthumously put him in as well.

Tomkins is a class player who offers more than just a kick return

Any fullback who craps his pants with high kicks, shouldn't be considered in anything regarding "best of".

Unless by "best of" you mean defensively useless, then Tomkins would rank highly. He should be in the halfs and only there.
