Let's give him the nickname booo.

So every time the opposition boo him they're actually cheering him.

As in Boo Radley?

Boo Tomkins.

Genius. That'll learn 'em.

loved it when we were booing him and he was laughing!! Defo got to keep the boos going for him like he says 'Pantomime booing'

Would love Sam to re-enact the 'Edwards nod' after every try, would wind them up something rotten.

Him and Joel should do it against leeds.....that would seriously wind them up

You young uns have no talent for music, I am in my 70's and I can come up with summat better.

Proberbly not many of you lot remember Frankie Vaughn,one of his best hits was as follows.
"Give me the Moonlight give me the Girls and leave the Rest to me"

Substituted by the following for Sam.

"Give him the Limelight give him the Booos to me and leave the rest to Sam.

I must be going daft,had four pints of mild tonight and making a fool of myself like this,off to bed.

Me a yong un.

What a great few days.
Proud granddad, Wigan stuff saints and now a young un.

Sir I salute you.

Sorry about that you owd rogue,I forgeet about reading about your recent good news,in the horticultual world, the name Welch means a lot to me (my neice is named Welch)
Many years ago I bred a Carnation named after my neices daughter (Janelle Welch) and it has proved to be a winner on the show bench.

i think tompkins gets boos for a reason

Because the crowd think he's an imposter, as there is no p in the name on the back of his shirt?

I like all this pantomime stuff. Next time an opposition player is on an 80 metre dash and Tomkins is chasing him the crowd should shout ‘HE’S BEHIND YOU!'.

Who s he

Brett Finch's nickname is "Burnt Fence Teeth" according to Stu Fielden on twitter.

Just keep it up Sam. The day they stop booing you is the day you're not doing your job properly. They can boo till they turn blue in the face - it wont (and never has) bothered Tomkins. In fact, I think it's quite cute. All the "cheat, cheat, cheat" and incessant. boos. N'awww bless.

Two occasions stick out for me with Tomkins. Castleford away in the Noble era. Mitchell Sargeant, the blonde haired prop that played for Castleford took Tomkins high and late. Nasty challenge. Tomkins was getting stick throughout the match from players/fans. He scored a hat-trick and won Wigan the game.

Leeds away. Leeds fans cheering every time he got tackled. Kept the booing up right throughout the match - along with many "Sam Tomkins you're a w*nker" chants. Sure enough - Sam scores a beautiful individual solo try, sets up another, sets us up in a position to win the match and kicks a goal after the final hooter to pinch a point.

That's what the lad is all about and that is the real reason fans boo him. They all sh-t a brick every time he touches the ball.

Great to see Sam at the end of the match when we was all booing him sarcastically, and he run over with his thumbs down booing back



Shows that he knows us Wigan fans are right behind him, and I guess he got loads of messages of support on Twitter after the England farce and he knows whatever the others do or say about him, he'll always be supported by us guys.

Love the idea, Boo Tomkins. And just for those who don't know Boo Radley was a cult character (and hero) in To Kill a Mocking Birdicon_smile.gif

Just to put straight those of you who thought it was a reference to the Wallasey based[i 'Popular Beat Combo'[/i of the early/mid Nineties!!



I've always thought of Tomkins as a cult..... (or summat like that!!)

There s a good write up on Wigan and sam s boo boys in league express

but there is a little bit dribbling down his leg

What about this for Sam. Sung along the lines of the Alvin Stardust: My Coo Ca Choo (may have to ask grandad)

Boo Boo,

We just love you.

We really love the things that you do.

Come on and give us a try,

And make them cry,

boo boo boo boo.

Sam gets boo'd because he's so good! It's a massive compliment from the idiots who boo him but they just can't fathom that out!
Long may it continue I say!!

definately, the best thing is, sam knows this and like you say long may it continue!

You can tell he loves it after he running over to us on Friday booing us

Good quotes from Wally Lewis about the booing of tomkins.
