the Two fingered gesture

That isn't arrogance that was allowing emotions to get the better of him. Lee smith challenge cup celebration in front of the wigan fans that could be seen as arrogance but i would see it as an overflow of emotions.

Sam Tomkins is by far the best player in Super League at this time. It would be a shame to lose him to Union but I can't see a way of keeping him unless the RFL do the right thing and let Wigan (and all other teams) discount a portion of one player's wages on the Salary Cap (Marquee Player).

Slater is 3 times the player rat boy is.

That might be...but he is still by far one of the best in SL. Whatever you might dislike about him that fact cannot be denied.

He and Hall were about the only ones that could displace any in the Aussie first 17.

Agreed. Both tremendous players and aggresive competitors.

Tompkins was immense today and really took it to (and from) the Aussies. We just can't let club loyalties blind us to the fact that as a game we can't lose such prodigious talents to the dark side.

I'd boooo him but you spelt his name wrong.......

Tomkins was excellent today. Great to see.

I thought the whole team performed well today. There was a time in the first half when I thought England really had a belief they could win. Hall's first try was simply sensational! If that had been in the NRL we wouldn't have heard the last of it. I really believe that If England can beat the Kiwis then they have a great chance to beat Australia and win the 4 nations. I didn't expect England to win at Wembley but was surprised at how well they played. I didn't think they could beat Australia twice but I think they can beat them once. A win in the final would do very nicely indeed. After the injustice of the sending off and try that were not given I am so fired up to back the England boys. I thought Peakcock was immense when he came back on when clearly injured and led by example. With a full team England can win this! Lets get right behind them.

First time have seen tomkins the kid can play they are going mad on him over here in aus would like to see him play in the Nrl just to see him play week in week out hope he doesn't go to the dark side

After yesterday I reckon a lot of G 'n' T's will have been spilt as the old farts at RFU headquarters start the ball rolling to sign him up for Rah Rah duty
Far too much money on offer for Ratboy to turn down
