Judging by the reaction everywhere, people are more concerned about someone puting the V's up.
The publicity generated by this has started grabbing headlines in the South. Shame it took this act rather than the final itself to generate publicity down there, but you know what they say - Theres no such thing as bad publicity.'"
Agree 100%. Which is why Tomkins would be advised to show more maturity in future. His actions have taken the gloss off a good Wigan performance in the best final for a number of years. He's harmed you far more than he has us IMO. |

| Quote: AdmiralHanson "Well, actually I got the idea from your players ... Who didn't seem to want to compete when wearing a national jersey, by virtue that they were sharing the same dressing room with half the Leeds team that had turning them over in the Grand Final.
Always a giveaway that there's trouble at t'mill, when the RFL put out a press statement that there's no squad disunity problems with the national team.
I'd have my work cut out to match the Saints players, who were boycotting the national side whilst they were still actually playing in it ....'"
Come now, it's been a few days since the final. You can back away from your rant quietly and nobody will mind. |

| I'm not surprised Leeds fans are planning on boycotting the Four Nations. They couldnt even be bothered to turn up to support their team at Wembley!!! I hope they do boycott the Four Nations - it will save us the embarrassment of having the Aussies laughing their t*ts off at us booing one of our own players!!! 
Ryan Bailey - TMFMIS?????? Do me a favour - didnt see him squaring up to Lima or Coley!!! WIMP!  |

| Quote: AdmiralHanson "At least the incident is being 'invetigated' :
Everybody trys to milk penalties he just does it better than most.
and look at Danny McGuire and baily before you have ago at Tomkins, you can say the same about McGuire..Great player on his day i dont think any fan doesnt admit that...but his sportsmanship is just poor Much dirtier players than Tomkins, McGuire at the final whistle was just shocking and pathetic, Bailey always gets involved in stuff that has nothing to do with him he should of been sent off, i think i recall about 5 warnings in the game just for him. and tomkins was silly for what he did but in all of this i see the Pot calling the kettle black. no need to drag such a silly little incedent on for so long.
Also James graham is a whining little so and so and screams in the refs face more than anyone...Doesnt mean any of them deserve to be boo'd when wearing an England shirt so i really dont see how you can understand someone doing that to an international...
Also what about Bailey headbutting a player and offering 4 of them out? (if its true thats even worse than what tomkins did and i'd hope bailey would be up for similar to tomkins.)

I'm no fan of Saints (  ) but AdmiralHanson's comments on your players are frankly bizarre.
Is this some kind of reference to the Leeds/Saints issues at GB/England level a few years ago?
If so, then I think most Wigan fans would be backing Saints players on that, given the poor behaviour of a number of Leeds players in recent years. |

Cant believe these fans have so much hatred for the top english player we have, although not a rhinos fan i am a leeds united fan and wouldnt dream of booing someone like rooney whos club side i detest with a passion! Its a pathetic thought booing our own in an england shirt just because he doesnt do what you like during a game, thats what the club games are there for why cant you babies just put your dummies back in and get behind the country!

Ryan Bailey (11/11/83) - The Most Feared Man In Super League
The Most Feared Man In Super League (TMFMISL) * Coined by thebloodbath * Inspired by Bailey *:39092.jpg |

Yes because it's a yard stick of 'hardness' by wanting to square up against Coley.
As for Lima, he's very handy on the blind side, third man in, around the knees.
The moral high-ground is sooooo yours.

| Quote: Hopie "I agree the RFL should censure Tomkins for gesturing at the crowd and that the respect the referees get is just not good enough, Tomkins should not be grabbing the referee for example
The attitude of Wigan fans to this is typical of a "my club is more important than the game" a spreading disease (it was an attitude invented in Wigan after all), it is why attendances from neutrals at cup finals and anyone at internationals have fallen because there is no community to the game, there is more joy in others failure than in their own success
i will be at all of england's internationals this year, i didnt attend the non international farce where players wore england shirts earlier this year - i hope tomkins turns out to be the messiah that wigan fans believe him to be rather than a player playing in a position for his club to hide his defensive frailties and because he couldnt oust a NRL reject from his preferred position who looks good in a winning team and barely registers at the highest level'"
So leeds fans crying over an incident that is hardly worth commenting on because they lost the cup final and threatening to boycott the International Game that badly needs support is not a perfect example of the attitude highlighted in bold.
Wonder next time McGuire or Sinfield blow up at the touch judges, which they both regularly do there will be a call to boycott the International matches?........actually thinking about it probably not as neither should get near an International shirt. |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

How embarrassing for all the sensible Leeds fans.... And a great excuse for the idiots who need an excuse not to turn up....
Oh let me rephrase that, ANOTHER excuse not to turn up.
