IMO Hardaker has never been as good as Tomkins was from 2010-2013. Right now its pretty close between the two. Tomkins better going forwards. Hardaker better in defence.
I dont know how you come to that conclusion.
Hardaker in that era was a superb defender and taker of the high ball whilst Tomkins was less than reliable in defence and a liability under the high ball. Tomkins was lethal in attack and whilst Hardaker never had the attacking capability of Tomkins, he was still a huge threat. If you mean Hardaker has never been as good in attack as Tomkins was then id agree but Tomkins has never been as good in defence as Hardaker was and still is. Hardaker is now the better all round player and it will become apparent once he fully finds his feet in attack.
