But, although welcoming back Cameron Phelps, George Carmont, Mark Riddell and Iafeta Paleaaesina, the injury-hit leaders were without Amos Roberts, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden and Harrison Hansen.
Thomas Leuluai's break set up the first for Hansen before, almost straight from the restart, Tomkins spotted a gap to race 80 yards to the line for the try of the match.
