Yes the stadium is still in the same place so you should have no trouble finding it, so please answer the question posed.

well we alway's bring almost the population of wiggin

Tompkins should be a shoe-in for stand off at international, and club level. He is wasted at present. Especially when you look at some of the puddings pretending to backs in SL.
I would have him like a shot for us at no.6., if he ever gets fed up at playing full back for the Pies. He is young lad, who hopefully will grow out of negative aspects to his game.

5 years ago I would have hated to have seen Briers in a Leeds shirt for the attitude he showed to the opposition players and fans. Now though, I would welcome him at Leeds as he is still the great player without the negative parts to his game.
At present, I would hate to see Tomkins in Blue and Amber. I don't care how good he is, he is no role model for young lads to look up to. If feel sorry for any child that looks at Tomkins and naively thinks "that's how I'm going to try and play the game". His attitude and tactics are disgraceful and I'm glad he's tied into a 5-year contract with Wigan. Maybe in 5 years time he'll have realised that to be respected on a game-wide level (and avoid being booed at International games), you need to play with respect. Until then - I couldn't care less about him.

[uTranslation[/u: BOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOO!

I disagree. I think full back is his best position. He is at his most dangerous running into the line from deep or running a kick return at a broken line, the extra space he gets at full back he wouldn't usually get at 6. At international level when he's played at FB he has been shut down easily by NZ or Oz, at 6 this would be evident even more so.

If he had a personality transplant I'd have him at fb for us.

We pretty much double the total IQ of the place when we visit.

Does it matter? If anything, it'll stir up a bit more interest for when this fixture's repeated - hopefully wigan will turn up in numbers and either drown out the boos for Tomkins or respond by booing one of ours. To be honest, any player who'd be remotely distracted by being shouted at isn't worth a place anyway.

Not incorrect.

So you bring the population of Wigan and you double the I.Q. of the place

MMmmm Interesting



So that means the I.Q of the same amount of people from Leeds as there is in Wigan is about the same then?




Sounds about right to me?
Unless your saying you only send the idiots over?

Don't know if this has been mentioned, and I'm not trailing through 13 pages, but... Did anyone see any RL players Tweets about the booing? Most notably Leon Pryce & Scott Murrell? Unprofessional to say the least.

has Scott Murrell tweeted his opinions on the behaviour of some Hull KR fans in and around Headingley yesterday yet?

I don't do twitter. As Sean lock said, "twitter is for people who don't know how to STFU even when they're alone".

An interesting assessment given that all I really do is read other people's opinion on events, and sometimes interact with them by means of suggesting my own opinion on the topic. Much like a forum really. What does Sean Lock think of people who use forums?





For the benefit of Grumpy Guts, and other none-tweeters...

Leon Pryce - thats the fickle leeds united fans that started watching the rhinos when united dropped down the divisions. Their not real fans.

Scott Murrell - Bull sh[ii[/it that England fans are booing sam tomkins typical Leeds fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're intelligent and sexy.

I don't care about the opinions of rugby players. Most of them are big and can run fast but they're not exactly societies higher echelon. Especially an oxygen thief like Leon Pryce. I've seen Leon behave in a pub and suffice to say when his body gives up and he's no longer earning a living from rugby his post rugby career will make Garry Schofield look like Lord Alan Sugar.

Actually come to think of it, I do remember meeting Sean Long and telling him I dabbled in Forums. I obviously left an impression.

On his cheekbone?

Yep. With my c*ck.

Nice chap that Sean Lock.


Edit - Just spotted I wrote Long. Call it a Freudian slip or typo. Either is fine.

I was at the game but must confess that I didn't even hear the booing, but am content to take it on trust that it occurred.

It must have been utterly and heart-breakingly unbearable for the little chap, I bet the railings outside Headingley are covered in flowers and teddies by now.

I didn’t and never would boo an England player, they demand far too much respect for me.

That being said Tomkins is a little tw*t and I can fully understand why fans from across the rest of SL would want to voice their disapproval with him.

I can also fully understand why mentally challenged rugby players such as Pryce, Peacock and Murrell would believe that because the game was held in Leeds it MUST have been Leeds fans booing. It’s because they’re not very bright.

Indeed peacock when signing a book for me was not sure how to spell ste.

Yes. It must have cost Eddie a fortune.

A friend of mine once asked him what ink work he'd had done on his arms - not fully understanding the question he replied "tattoos".

Nuff said.

damn, rovers and Hull fans will probably get the blame
