Don't expect anything to be posted by Wigan fans tomorrow morning.
They'll all be in church praying that the RL gods take action on those nasty Leeds fans (and only Leeds fans of course) who booed their Saviour.

'Our father, who art in Wigan,
Tomkins be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
At the DW, which we call Heaven
Give us this day our daily pies
and slay those that trespass and boo against us
and lead us into temptation
and deliver those nasty Leeds fans some evil
For Wigan is the kingdom
The past power and past glories
Wigan forever and forever and feck the rest
Amen

Agree with all of that. It should have also resulted in a try to the exiles

past power and glories ?

remind me again who are the current superleague champions
and how many places leeds are above wigan this season

I didn't go (prior engagement) and I haven't watched my Sky+ yet but having read the above I can imagine it all. I can perhaps explain the booing?? - Sam Tomkins makes everyone's (except Gooner's) toes curl! He has such amazing skills, pace and talent but all admiration is completely wiped by his underhand tactics, near-cheating, his ability to con refs, his seeming intention to injure players he's tackling, his arrogance and his 'ratboy style'. He is a nasty piece of work on the rugby field and I could go on. That's not what RL fans cheer - it's what we despise. Sadly he is an example of all that needs to change to make RL proud again. Who needs the BBC to give it a bad name?

Please, please, please get t-shirts made with this printed on them. I would love to see all the away support in them in a few weeks at the DW!

Tomkins:
He deserves the booing, why should we cheer someone like him?

He's paid to be professional and take the abuse, not that he does. He's the worst sportsman in the league. Flipping V's when winning, squirting water at away fans when losing and making rugby as laughable as football when he plays for penalties.

Boooo!

He is the most talented player we have in this country at the moment and stupid things like booing him will only drive him to the kick and clap, what an embarrasment it was to hear the boos everytime he touched the ball

Are Wigan fans closet EDL?

They certainly have the same accent as rlthis guyrl!

Edit: Sam Tomkins Defence League!

Brilliant! You'll have to post it on the VT and Wigan Boards

Jesus Christ that reporter was sailing close to the wind, that kid he was interviewing is operating on absolute bare minimum brain usage, only enough processing power to remember to breathe regularly and to keep his heart beating, asking him difficult questions like "why are you here" could easily cause him to forget a vital function when trying to add three words together into a sentence, causing a kid to do that could result in a manslaughter charge.

that's a Saints fan from a border village....

Overall, i thought the game last night was good for the concept (which was rubbish) (dont know why i'm posting this on the Rhino's forum)...

Sam Tomkins is a good player, but last season did his reputation no favours at all. Convincing enough that even the wife couldn't see him doing anything wrong, but certainly did when I pointed out the hand trapping. Respect that you've seen little of Sam this season (i've no doubt you don't go to Warriors home or Away games unless we're playing you), either someone's had words, or he's watched back and though "that aint good", because I haven't seen any of it this season yet. He played effectively last night, but listen back to what Eddie & Stevo were saying in respect to who was calling the field for The Exiles. Who worse to call the shots against you than one of your very close team mates (T.Leuluai). I'll admit, he does have a hunger to score, and perhaps that is his weakness, he'll run the line looking for a gap rather than passing or kicking the ball to make play. At both club level and country level, this happens, and probably lost us an opportunity or two last night, and has certainly cost Wigan an opportunity or two, but he's young and he's time to develop yet. What I cannot condone is people cheering at rough tackles which can potentially cause career ending injuries (twice last night he was dumped on his face). I'm not saying it's purely Leeds fans, there's isn't a club in SuperLeague who's fans don't hate Sam Tomkins, but there isn't a fan in SuperLeague who's fans wouldn't like him in their team! Danny McGuire is a slightly different story as his injury against us was obtained whilst taking Pat Richards off the ball illegally (hence the penalty kick), compounded by the shaking of the posts by one of the Leeds players. Not saying anyone was right to cheer (personally I didn't), but an injury obtained whilst doing something stupid or illegal is "more deserved" than an injury just because you don't like him.

In respect to captaincy, no offence but I think both coaches made a mistake with their choices of Buderus and Peacock purely down to the fact that they're club team mates, that is going to almost certainly have an impact on their on field play. Bananaman confiding in Peacock was just silly, there's a lot of guys in the England team who are more experienced than Peacock, captain at club level and/or have captained the England International side. A captain, for me, has to stand out and be the great organiser on the field... I can't say I noticed between Peacock being on the field, or off it.

I can't say I watched last night's game thinking "smash em, cave their heads in", because Club over Country, I didnt want any injuries out of the game, but I did watch it thinking, in regards to a number of players, "jesus, that's some talent there".

Internationals are a time to embrace the talent we have in our country and support them, not a time to boo them and defame them. Let's face it, England will always be the under-dogs in International RL, but with the right coach, and the right group of people, and the right game play in place, there's no reason why we couldn't come out on top (or nearly).

As far as Internationals are concerned, give me the best players from any club. As far as Club is concerned, we hate Leeds.
