For England fans to boo Sam Tomkins tonight was a disgrace.

Whatever anybody thinks of him at club level it should not be brought into the International arena, surely we should be getting behind every player in an England shirt regardless of who they are or who they play for.

I hope those who did boo are ashamed of themselves.

Agree with you 100% absolutley no need for it.

very true it was bad..but why did they boo him,i`d love to know

im guessing moron leeds footy fans?

Absolutely right. No excuse whatsoever.

Football fans?

More like moron 'rugby' fans.

You expect Leeds fans to be ashamed ???

Agreed. I won't boo any player who pulls on the England shirt.

it's the parochial attitude of rugby league fans in a nutshell isn't it

we've got a fantastic english player with a bit of flair and we boo him because he plays for wigan

we've got a new idea that maybe just maybe might add something to the game and everyone wants it dead before it's even kicked off

Here we go again....

Absolutely right. I think the 'booing Sam' thing is crazy. The Exiles Origin concept is a good idea, but it needs to be given a weekend to itelf.

WTF are you about.
The thread is about the (pathetic) booing of an England international (which all previous participants have agreed is pathetic), and the old troll under the River Douglas bridge, turns it into a widge measuring contest.

Do us a favour RG....go away...PRAT

I've said on the pie board and the VT that the booing IMO was muted, hardly the whole stadium or even half of it... The pie fans have gone OTT i think called Leeds fans scum when a fair few of them wanted Danny McGuires career to be over last season....

I still think however muted, it was wrong you shouldn't boo anyone in an England shirt...

I hate the little git at club level, However he was playing for England tonight and should be cheered not boo'd. God i hate that we have morons in this sport that will lower themselves to that level, why don't they just sod off and support football instead.

It was the same poster that derailed the Trent Waterhouse thread causing Yed to issue a warning.....

This isn't a thread about who is best so why be an idiot as usual and try and derail it?

Just realised you had mentioned it lefty, well said mate!

Would Leeds fans boo him if he signed for Leeds, doubt it, so why boo him when he plays for England and you're supporting............ England

I have to agree with the rest of the posters on here, it's a disgrace! Don't get me wrong I hate Sam Tomkins as much as the next guy but I wouldn't boo whilst he was playing for England. I just hope he laughs at it though, they hate him because he's good.

Do we know it was Leeds fans that were booing Tomkins

Don't think anyone knows for definate, unless they were there. I would have thought that most fans there tonight would have been Leeds' lot though.

Tis pleasing to hear everyone's views because it does now sound like a few minority. If the show was on the other foot, i.e. Briers playing, he would have easily got my full backing.

This sums up many rl fans in this country. They love to bang on and on about how its good to see 'young English talent' emerging and the future of the game is bright, and 90% of the players they reckon are young English talent are substandard at the highest level.

When occasionally a player emerges who has genuine ability, James Graham, Kyle Eastmond, Sam Tomkins, he becomes a figure of hate.

I await to see the impact Rhys Evans has on rival clubs fans in a few years
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HELMETS, THE LOT OF 'EM

First time the booing was noticeable was when he did that crap, Miller sevens type run across the pitch; I thought somebody had been taken out off the ball in-front of the South Stand and Silverwood had missed it - very strange behaviour.
