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 [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjuNuqIev8Mthis guy[/url!

Edit: Sam Tomkins Defence League!

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

I much rather prefer the ''Muslamic raygun remix'' of that video!

You want the remix, it somehow makes it funny.

Back to the booing, it shouldn't happen but it does, why is anyone that surprised? I mean Sam Tompkins isn't popular with fans of other clubs and it's not the first time a player has been booed while playing for England.
I can remember Danny McGuire getting booed at Wigan in 2009, Terry Newton getting some right grief at Knowsley road in 2006 and some others in the past but without RLfans going into meltdown or fans of those players getting so precious.
It's always the same at international games, the club bias comes out every time especially if we're losing.

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.
