| Quote mmcdonagh="mmcdonagh"First of all, i'm a Leeds fan, secondly, I'm a Rugby League fan. I believe a majority of the fans last night were "Rugby league fans" who went to the match to see a good game of Rugby, maybe some of them were hoping for an England win.....but were any of these fans as nervous about England winning as they are about their club winning - I doubt it. No matter how much Eddie and Stevo try to dress it up - the internationals are not what they are in other sports.
Back to my point - I reckon a lot of fans were neutrals last night, wanting to see a game worthy of the price!!
People don't like cheats, people don't like arrogance, people don't like conning refs - Therefore, some people will not like Sam Tomkins. This is the reason for his boo's. Maybe, this will allow him to assess his performance and decide how he wants to be remembered by all rugbly league fans, a good player, or an arrogant cheat - he is still young enough to decide.
Before anyone assumes this is jealousy, I admire the following players from other clubs for their contribution to Rugby League, Long, Farrell, Briers, Wellens. All of which are bad losers, all of which I loved to jeer.....all of which don't/didn't blatently cheat (Briers has now learnt the offside rule is 10 meters not 7)!'"
I couldn't give a rats backside if Tomkins is a "arrogant cheat" he had an England shirt on last night and thats that.

I think part of the matter is that it was not a big game.
Had it been a 4 Nations final against Aus at Elland Road I doubt there would have been any boos.

You're assuming everyone holds the international set up in the same regard as you do.

What, that you support players who play for England as that is who they are playing for that day?
Common sense isn't it?

Some people aren't English that watch rugby, Some people don't care about international rugby league, some people would rather remain a neutral just hoping to see a good game.

| I dislike Tomkins as:
a) He's a cheat
b) He plays for Wigan
c) His brother is also a cheat
d) His brother also plays for Wigan
Quite frankly, how anyone is expected, or is deemed 'OK' to boo an opposition player when they play against your club BUT cheer them when they play for England is the epitome of hypocracy.
How many Liverpool & Chelsea fans do you think cheered Beckham when he played for England but called his wife a slag when playing for Man Utd?
Go figure.
At the end of the day, England lost to effectively Australia's 8-9th team. Embarassing.

The fact that you don't know the difference between not/reluctantly cheering a player and fully booing and cheering when someone puts a big hit on them, is embarrassing.

I'd give it up as a bad job if I were you Loz.
I thought it was straight forward, we were there to support England last night - whoever was playing. Sadly, some people just cannot see past club rivalry and get behind all 17 players.

Indeed, and on a Feckwitt Scale of 1 to 10, the sundry moreporks on this thread all score 10's.
I'm also in no doubt that the vast majority of them booing Tomkins yesterday were Rhinos Feckwitts.
