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".
