Please Mac keep the thread going and lets see how many hicks,whoops sorry how many wiganers come on and make a contribution

Sam Tomkins plays Rugby League, well! His scoring rate is frankly phenomenal.

If he decides to roll around like Anders Limpar looking for penalties, then it's up to the opposition to be aware of and wise to that. If they aren't, then that's they're bad. It's just a part of his game.

He doesn't need to be liked, he doesn't need to be appreciated by anyone outside of Wigan. Personally I have an issue with his antics, but I find him to be the most exciting player in SL with bal in hand, and he tackles like a trojan.

Boo him, not a chance, I haven't booed anyone since I booed Audley "Pantomime Villain" Pennant at Tattersfield in the CC. And even then it was because he was playing up to the role.

My hero.

You are the nephew of Brendan Carlyle and I claim my £5!

there is another thread ready to go for a pearler on the Wigan forum,its the one about bloody mather's .They are getting beat so they want it stopped

Wouldn`t you burst into tears if you were made to wear that shirt?

There's a name from the past.

If Sam Tomkins got the same curly mullet I don't think anyone would ever boo him again. I'd send it fan mail. Not to Tomkins, just to the mullet.

Indeed, which makes me wonder why the big fuss.

I don't like people booing players at internationals simply if they are from other clubs. Its that mentality that helps keep international league small-time.

well said that person !



great to see QLD stuffed btw !

International RL will always be small time until such a time as there are more than three teams who have not been artificially constructed in order to try and fool the news media that there are more than three genuine and competitive national RL teams in the world.

Indeed, maybe when the RFL take international rugby league seriously we might too. Central contracts? Mid season international break? A war of the roses series would be far use than the Exiles friendly. Then of course we'd be allowed to boo anyone we want without upsetting Eddie.

In todays news Maguire thinks baby Sam will cope with the abuse he suffered last week. Abuse!?!? Hell fire, wait til we get properly started

Hang about, booing because he's from Wigan??
I didn't hear O'Loughlin boo'd, nor was the sibling of RatBoy.
If disliking a player for cheating is a sign of small minded-ness then I will always remain that way. He has every talent to make him a great player, but he needs to take a long hard look at his integrity before he can really be recpected.

As for serious internationals!?!?! When I get to attend one this year I'll hold my tongue because there will be far more to be concerned with than what Sam got up to last month. The War of the Roses was a much better concept in my opinion and gave a bit of rivalry for supporters to get stuck into. The farce I attended last Friday was soul-less and point-less.

Presumably you boo Danny Maguire as well?

No need - he's already been punished by a much higher power.

I reckon a shoulder reconstruction and six months out for young Sam should be sufficient.

Feckin hell....17 pages!!

Is Ratboy really that good to justify 17 pages? Can't it be locked, just to peave off the tetchy pie mob?

From the Pie board, I note that some of them are trying to own the booing, so to speak, in an attempt to suggest it doesn't bother them. Recent events would strongly suggest otherwise....

Nope, you got me there. Which is the third team?

Will the Boooo Boooo boys direct their disgust in the appropriate direction next Friday against Bradford? The guys who deserve the response will be sitting in the North Stand.

You're right, there USED to be three teams who could compete to within 30 points of each other but one of them was broken up into smaller less effective parts because it was thought to be for the betterment of the game - a bit like letting your satnav drive your car for you and finding it trying to drive up a river.

Great Britain on a semi-regular basis... oh, hang on... they don't exist any longer.

Yes, you're right... there is no third team.

There's no second team.

I would just like to congratulate the single mindedness and dedication to a cause which lead to a large and vocal group of Leeds Fans taking their dislike of Sam Tomkins to it's logical conclusion by ignoring their team playing on Friday and instead going to watch the Saints/Wigan match purely to boo him for the second time in a week!

Just like the 'Wigan' fans did in 2009 at the Pie Dome you mean?
