This may have been said elsewhere, and apologies if it has, but I really hope that none of the Saints fans boo players from other teams tomorrow night.

I was there last year when it happened and it was pretty embarrassing and disappointing to hear.

I mean, I hate Sam Tomkins. Well, hate's a strong word - 'strongly dislike' would be better. When he plays against us wearing a Wigan shirt, I will boo him etc as much as I like. When he is gesturing to the fans or trying to milk a penalty, I will berate him like anyone else.

But tomorrow, he is playing for ENGLAND. And I will be cheering for England as I hope 99% of the stadium will be too. Therefore I hope he has a brilliant game and rips them to pieces.

Let's show that Saints fans are the best in the country, if not the world.

Come on you Saints, and COME ON ENGLAND!

I couldn't agree more.

I cringed when the Leeds fans did it, and I will be ashamed if Saints fans stoop to that level.

I actually quite like Sam Tomkins, it's Gareth Hock who I will be booing.

why?

Im thinking that was tongue in cheek.

because its pure jealoursy.

I don't dislike Tomkins but I do dislike Hock. He's a drug cheat and should never be allowed to wear representative colours of our great country again. He's a poor role model and an out and out thug. That's a topic for another day though, I certainly won't be booing any English players.

I'll be shouting forward everytime Roby passes the ball, in true Saints styleee

Well said.

The issue with the drugs (which were recreational, IIRC) can be put to bed IMO. He made a stupid mistake and paid for it - two years out of a rugby league career is a pretty heavy price, and he's done his time on that score. His general demeanour on the pitch, however, does my head in. He's one of those players you just want to see get clobbered, but he's good enough to get away with it. It's irritating as an opposing fan, but then the game would be poorer without its pantomime villains (in fact, Saints could really do with one of their own at the moment). While he's playing for England I'll be putting any such issues aside, anyway.

how is he a drug cheat? Coke is not a performance enhancing drug unlike the hormone substance HCG that fat Cunningham was done for, yet i bet you and the rest of your fellow fans carried on cheering for him, what a pack of bitter hypocrites

You should be banned for language filter avoidance like that.

Where is the report button?

Incorrect, cocaine is listed as a performance enhancing drug due to some of it's properties by the WADA. The study and classification was carried out by people with far more knowledge in the area than you or me, to question that classification is frankly laughable.

Hock took this drug fully aware of what he was taking and suffered appropriate consequences.

Cunningham was cleared of any wrong doing as the drug had been administered to him unknowingly so that's not relevant at all. Coincidentally, if Hock had been cleared for the same reason I wouldn't have a problem.

How surprising , a new thread and already it's filled with Wigoon trolls who only a couple of years ago were so buried in the woodwork you'd have needed an army of beevers to find them.

As an Englishman I'll support England. Booing your own team is daft , unless the do something to deserve it i.e Hock has another brain fart and shoves the ref over (again)
